At the end of the PowerPlay, RCB found itself in difficulty at 26/3, with their key strikers in the canoe. The performance of the average order has proven to be just as disappointing, with Krunal Pandya, Jiteh Sharma and the replacement for Manoj Bhandage impact contributing minimum races.
The team’s score fell to 42/7 by the ninth, while Punjab quisors maintained incessant pressure.
David’s counterattack in the final, including three consecutive against BRAR, provided a little respite from the hosts in difficulty.
