Yash Dayal to Shubham Dubey
OUT! TAKEN! That should be the final nail in the coffin! Rajasthan Royals have butchered this chase and are on the brink of losing it. A full toss, on middle, Shubham Dubey could have hit it anywhere but he swings across and picks up Phil Salt at deep mid-wicket.

Yash Dayal to Wanindu Hasaranga
OUT! RUN OUT! Superb effort from Jitesh Sharma to execute this runout! Full and on middle, Wanindu Hasaranga knocks it to long off and calls for the second. Is way too slow on the sprint back and Tim David fires the throw, a bit wayward to the keeper. Jitesh Sharma moves across to his left, collects the ball and has to fling himself with an outstretched right hand to knock the bails and Wanindu Hasaranga is still caught short of the crease by a few inches.

Josh Hazlewood to Dhruv Jurel
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a use of a review for RCB! This could be just what they needed to make a comeback into this game! Josh Hazlewood sees the batter back away and fires it very full and outside off, Dhruv Jurel cannot reach for it and misses to make any connection and the keeper takes it low to his right. There is not much of an appeal but RCB decide to challenge it and send it upstairs for a check. The UltraEdge loads up, and there is a spike as the ball passes the back of the bat. A huge roar across the stadium and the onfield call of NOT OUT is overturned to OUT!

Josh Hazlewood to Jofra Archer
OUT! CAUGHT! A golden duck for Jofra Archer and Josh Hazlewood has pulled this game back and how! Rajasthan Royals are losing the plot, AGAIN! He bangs the surface and bowls it on a hard length, over off, Jofra Archer stays put and throws his bat at it, in an attempt to slice it over the infield on the off side. The ball skids through quicker and takes the upper half of the bat. Lobs straight to Rajat Patidar at cover who takes a dolly. Josh Hazlewood on a Hat Trick!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Another proper bumper from Bhuvi, banging it in halfway down the track and over middle. Suryavanshi fails to pull it away and no wide is called either. Suryavanshi feels it was too high but no review taken.

Strategic Break! This has been a frenetic chase so far and Rajasthan Royals have gone hard at the RCB bowlers throughout the first 8 overs. It hasn't always been pretty hitting but RR are well above the required rate and have wickets in hand as well. The RCB bowlers have been a bit unlucky with quite a few edges going to the fence but they need to pick up wickets, or else, this game could be over before they know it.
0
Halt! There is a bit of a delay and the umpire seems to be in conversation with someone on the walkie-talkie. It seems like there was an incident in the last ball of the previous over. Replays show that Suyash Sharma picked up the ball with his cap. Thankfully for him, the ball was dead, otherwise that could have been 5 penalty runs. Anyway, Krunal Pandya is finally given the green light to start his spell.

Strategic Break! With 66 runs needed off 36 balls, this contest is perfectly poised for a thrilling finish! Rajasthan Royals have done the hard yards to build a solid platform in this chase, but a couple of quick wickets have thrown a bit of a curveball into the mix. There's still firepower left in the tank for RR, and on a surface like this, chasing down this remaining target is well within reach if they keep their nerves. But credit to RCB - they’ve pulled things back brilliantly in the last few overs, tightening lines and building pressure. One more wicket here, and the momentum could swing hard in RCB’s favour. It's all about handling the pressure from here on. Seems like we’re in for a nail-biting finish.

Is that out? A very risky second run attempted by Shimron Hetmyer and the throw from Phil Salt comes in at the keeper's end. Jitesh Sharma whips off the bails as Hetmyer dives in. It is sent upstairs and replays quickly show that Hetmyer was well in. NOT OUT!

17 needed off the final over. Yash Dayal to bowl it? Or will we see Romario Shepherd? It should be Dayal and it is him. Can he keep his cool and see his side home? Or will there be flashbacks from a couple of seasons ago? Let's find out...

Right then, Royal Challengers Bengaluru are up and running at home and they now become the third team to get to 12 points, joining GT and DC, who are above them due to a superior Net Run Rate. Next up, it is a clash for survival in IPL 2025 as Chennai Super Kings welcome Sunrisers Hyderabad in a crucial four-pointer that could send one team into almost certain elimination and the winning side can stay afloat and still have an outside chance of making the top four. That game will be played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Friday, 25 April and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). You can join us a lot sooner for the build-up as well. Cheers!
