Stoinis Finished Off In Style

The last nail in the coffin came in style, Marcus Stoinis hitting a full delivery from Yash Dayal over deep mid-wicket for six to seal the victory in style. RCB bowlers found it hard to keep Punjab’s batting line-up in check, who appeared to be in charge for most of the game.

RCB Slumped In First Innings

Though the pitch gave some support to the bowlers in the early stages, RCB did not make the most of crucial moments and again were unable to defend a total on home soil. Punjab’s strict bowling at the beginning of the match had set the stage, limiting RCB to a sub-par score.

No Home Win Yet For RCB

With this outcome, PBKS not only pick up valuable away points but also gather steam as the tournament reaches the halfway mark. Meanwhile, RCB will have to return to the drawing board as their home struggles continue to upset their campaign.
