CSK vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2023: For Kolkata, it is a must-win

 

On the other hand, for Kolkata, it is the last chance to stay in the hunt. If they lose tonight, they will be out of the race for the playoff. But if the Nitish Rana led team win tonight, they would have to hope that they not only win their last game but that other teams lose big for them to enter the playoffs.

RR vs RCB Live Score, IPL 2023: Big win for the Royal Challengers Bangalore

 

The Royal Challengers have boosted their net run rate immensely by beating the Rajasthan Royals by a huge margin of 112 runs. Courtesy of this win, they have now moved to fifth place, dismissing the Royals from it.

 

Chasing the target of 172, Rajasthan lost Yashasvi Jaiswal with the score at one. That started a series of wicket fall which ended with the 10th wicket at 59. Shimron Hetmyer top scored with 35 off 19 balls. Joe Root was the only other Rajasthan batter to get into the double digits. He scored 10. 

 

For Bangalore, Wayne Parnell took three wickets while Michael Bracewell and Karn Sharma took two wickets. Mohammed Siraj and Glenn Maxwell took a wicket each. Earlier in the day, Faf du Plessis and Maxwell hit fifties to get Bangalore to 171/5 in their 20 overs.

RR vs RCB Live Score, IPL 2023: Ashwin out without even facing a ball

 

It looked like two runs when Hetmyer cut the short ball to the backward point region. However, he wanted to keep the strike and therefore decided not to take the double. Ashwin was outside the crease, and made no efforts at all to come back in his crease and a direct hit from the boundary ropes found him short of the crease and he is out for nought without even facing the ball.

RR vs RCB Live Score, IPL 2023: Ball gripping and causing problems for batters

 

It seems like  Royal Challengers Bangalore spinners have learnt from the mistakes of the Rajasthan Royals spinners and instead of flighting the ball, they are bowling into the wicket and at a faster pace and as a result, are getting the ball to grip.
