On a high-kicking surface at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, RCB conquered the early loss of two wickets in the first over of the match to post a cutthroat total of 181 for 6, which was then placed into the setting by a preeminent presentation of pace bowling from Josh Hazlewood, who took out a wicket in every one of his overs for figures of 4 for 25.

However Super Giants tested through a hard-hitting knock of 42 off 28 balls from Krunal Pandya, they lost wickets by any means too-continuous stretches, and when Marcus Stoinis fell in baffling conditions with 34 required from the last two overs, their challenge fell away, in spite of two last over sixes from Jason Holder.
