Many batsmen came out to start, but no one scored a score of 50, 60 or 70. Nicholas Puran's 46 (28 balls, 1 four, 5 sixes) and KL Rahul's 42 (27 balls, 7 fours, 1 six), two to two fours. Pursuance.

Standing batting display

After Virat Kohli's dismissal as the fourth captain, AB de Villiers came to bat (and opener). At that stage 35-1, RCB lost three wickets in a very short time to find themselves at 81-4 on the ninth over. De Villiers took stock of the situation, felt that in the next few overs he needed to get out and ride out. He also knew well that his team needed to stay on the crease and supported himself to face the loss in later overs.

After crawling on a score of 25 runs, in the fifth over, Rajpoot was brought back to the attack, then De Villiers left him; He made a four and a six in that over, and Murugan added another six in the next over of Ashwin. South Africa made their half-century in the eighteenth over - in 35 balls there. Then there was a massacre; He hit Mohammed Shami three consecutive sixes in the nineteenth over and added another big hit to his tally at the beginning of the last over. De Villiers took the single on the second ball of the last over, and for the remaining four delivery he had to stay on the non-striker's end.

The specialty of the knuckles of De Villiers was that they chose the length of time and came to take a toll; He was cruel for anything that was minor - and also put the delivery in the stand. He gave 22 scalps to two spinners in 18 balls and 60 runs in 26 balls.

Notable Support Act - Batting

Parthiv Patel and Marcus Stonis made significant contributions in the total of RCB. Parthiv, who feels that this season has added gear for his batting, blow away at the top; He got seven fours and two sixes in the first six overs. The knife of the earthquake was a mixture of aggression and time; He scored 43 runs in 23 balls, when he did not take the googly from Murugan Ashwin, checked his shot, and conveyed the resultant edge to extra cover.

Stones was asleep for the most part of his partnership with DeVilliers. But at the end of the innings, they forced themselves to the right spotlight; He selected Hardus Viljen and scored 4,6,4,6 on the last four balls of the innings and gave RCB the right end of his innings. Stein is remained unbeaten on 46, scoring 34 balls.

Standing bowling performance

Ravichandran Ashwin is outstanding with the ball through VIVO IPL 2019. He also brought his A-game park on Wednesday night and finished with exemplary figures of 4-0-15-1. Ashwin used his own variations and mixed his pace to keep De Villiers and Stonyis in the bay. Their success - Moin Ali's wicket - was the result of intelligent bowling and right execution; He threw the ball around the stump, lowered the ball right outside the off stump, and betrayed the batsman with Carrom Ball, who had entered the gap between the bat and the pad.

Ashwin will be the only bowler in the entire match, who did not make the boundary!
