Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | RCB 189-2 | Over 19-18 from the over

 

Odean Smith is leaking runs here and a lot of them at that too. The first ball he bowled full and Kartik ramped it for a six past the fine leg boundary and then he drops short and DK pulls that one for a four

 

Finally, a yorker being nailed by Smith and a single is taken and now Kohli is on strike. 12 from the first four balls and DK waits this one for eternity and as a slower ball from Odean Smith finally arrives and he just clobbered it for a six over Smith's over 

 

Smith hasn't bowled well whatsoever and I can't believe why he was given the ball in the 19th over. He ended up conceding 18 and RCB reach 189/2 with 6 balls to go

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | RCB 171-2 | Over 18- Great over from Arshdeep

 

Oh. That was a chance there at short square leg as Karthik tried to pull the short ball off Arshdeep's last over, but the ball just went away from the fielder and a run was completed. But this has been great over as Arshdeep gave away only three runs and picked up the all-important wicket of Faf du Plessis

Shahrukh Khan had dropped Faf du Plessis very early in the innings and he has now taken a brilliant catch to remove du Plessis of 88 off 57 balls. But more than anything else, it's just a relief that du Plessis onslaught is now gone with almost three overs remaining.

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | RCB 168-1 | Over 17- No Mercy from Faf

 

Faf du Plessis is in no mood for mercy here as he has hit seven runs off the first four balls of Sandeep Singh and he bowls yet another yorker and suddenly it seems like it's an altogether different game now as balls are not reaching the boundaries. But still, with just one four only, 10 runs come from the over and RCB are cruising towards 200

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | RCB 158-1 | Over 16- Faf butchering them

 

After the time out, Arshdeep Singh, one of the retained players was called in by Mayank Agarwal, but he too has been taken to the cleaners and has conceded 16 runs off the over as Faf du Plessis gets to 82 off just 53 balls and fully on his way to an IPL hundred, the first of this season

8:44 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | RCB 142-1 | Over 15- Time out

 

A strategic Time Out has been taken by the Punjab Kings which they badly needed after the hammering that they have received in the last five overs, giving away 72 runs and having no signs of getting a wicket as Faf du Plessis reached his first fifty as an RCB player and RCB almost getting to 150. With 142-1 at the end of the 15, the Bangalore side would want nothing less than 200 here

8:38 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | RCB 136-1 | Over 14- Big big over

 

This is just p[ure destruction here from RCB as Faf hits two sixes back to back off Harp[reet Brar and Kohli does one too. In total, the dup got 21 off this over and in the last four overs, they have got 66 runs and it's not even the death overs. It is pure destruction indeed.
