Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 1/2 (Salt Unbeaten 1, Mayak 1)
RCB won by 5 wickets.
Daily Digital Desk: Virat Kohli in the IPL final for the fourth time. Only one match distance between the RCB and the trophy. The dominance that they won that day, in the final, it is difficult to say that they will be very difficult. Punjab did not respond to Salt’s stormy batting after Hazelwood’s outstanding performance that day.
At the beginning of the first bat, Preeti Jinter’s team jerks. Priyanta Arya returned for only 5 runs by Yash Daal. Then it returned to Prasimran Singh (1) and Shreyas Ayer (2). They return to Bhubaneswar Kumar and Josh Hazelwood. Hazelwood returning to the RCB squad has felt extra confident in their bowling department. He got wickets in his first two overs. Wicketkeeper Josh English also returned to him. At one time, Punjab lost 5 wickets for only 5 runs at the speed of Bengaluru. It is difficult to turn around from such a fragile situation. Although Marcus Stoinis fought (9 off 25). But in the end, Suyash Sharma had to cheat on Google. In the end, if Azmatullah Omarzai (unbeaten 1) did not play, the Punjab runs would not have crossed. Hazelwood of Bengaluru and 3 wickets for Sunsh. There was nothing big in front of the target of just 5 runs, it does not need to be a cricket expert to understand that. No matter how much he’s cricket ‘Glorious Game of Ansrten’.
Virat Kohli was the first to play the ball in the boundary. It seemed that the Punjab bowling would chew ‘King’. But he continued to get the illness of being caught in the uncertain corridor of that traditional ‘offstamp’ by 12 runs. He was also seen heating his head in the dugout. Without being angry, Kohli has to understand that he has to be a little patient to make history by winning the final. The Mayank team was out of the head of the umpire. But after taking the review, he survived. Undoubtedly, when he was out at that time, RCB might have entered the pressure cooker.
Phil Salt took all the responsibilities alone on the day of the failure of the enormous. He started bowling with Punjab bowling alone in a stormy bat. Then the rest of the match was practically the rules. When Mayank returned, Joy and 5 runs away. In the end, Salt was unbeaten on 5 for 5. He hit four four, four sixes. He brought the team effortlessly to more than half of the target.
