May 22, 2026

RCB 177-3 (18 Ovs) vs SRH 255-4 | SCORECARD

Harshal Patel returned for another over, with Krunal Pandya starting cautiously by powering one towards midwicket for a single.

Rajat Patidar then clipped one into the leg side for a run, bringing up a well-paced half-century off 37 balls as Royal Challengers Bengaluru continued their strong chase.

Krunal briefly slowed things down with a couple of defensive shots before easing a single down to long-on. But Patidar ensured the over finished on a high, launching a massive six to keep the momentum alive.

A solid over for RCB -- 9 runs from it as they move to 177 for 3 after 18 overs, needing 79 from the final 12 balls.
