IPL 2017 Match 46: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

On May 7, 2017, cricket fans witnessed a spectacular showdown at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) took on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 46th match of the IPL 2017 season. The match concluded with a decisive victory for the Kolkata Knight Riders, as they chased down the target with impressive ease, winning the match by 6 wickets with 29 balls to spare.

Match Summary:

Royal Challengers Bangalore: 158 runs in 20 overs
Kolkata Knight Riders: 159 runs in 15.1 overs
Result: Kolkata Knight Riders won by 6 wickets

Royal Challengers Bangalore Innings:

RCB struggled in their innings, finishing with a total of 158 runs. Their batting performance was highlighted by Mandeep Singh’s commendable knock of 52 runs off 49 balls, which included 4 boundaries and 1 six, making him the backbone of the innings. However, the RCB lineup suffered early setbacks with stars like Chris Gayle (0 runs) and Virat Kohli (5 runs) failing to make significant contributions, both dismissed by KKR's Umesh Yadav, who claimed 3 wickets in his 4 overs while conceding 36 runs.

Travis Head showcased resilience, scoring an unbeaten 75 runs off 112 balls, demonstrating his ability to anchor the innings even when wickets were tumbling around him. Despite his efforts, RCB could only post a below-par score which would be heavily challenged by the opposing side.

Kolkata Knight Riders Innings:

In reply, KKR started aggressively, successfully chasing down the target in just 15.1 overs. Sunil Narine blasted a stunning 54 runs off just 25 balls, hitting 6 fours and 4 sixes, helping KKR establish a strong foundation. His blazing innings set the tone for the chase, while Chris Lynn also chipped in with a swift 50 runs off 32 balls.

The innings featured a solid finish with KKR ensuring there were no hiccups in the chase, as they comfortably reached the target with the help of important contributions from Colin de Grandhomme (31 runs) and the steady performance from other middle-order batsmen. Ultimately, Manish Pandey and Yusuf Pathan finished the match without breaking a sweat, paving the way for KKR to claim an emphatic victory.

Bowling Highlights:

For RCB, Pawan Negi stood out with the ball, taking 2 wickets for 21 runs in his 3 overs. Yuzvendra Chahal took a key wicket as well, but overall, the bowling lacked the decisive impact needed to contain the KKR batsmen.

Conclusion:

This match encapsulated the unpredictability and excitement that the IPL offers, with KKR demonstrating their batting firepower and bowling prowess. The victory not only added crucial points to KKR’s tally but also showcased their title ambitions as they strode confidently towards the playoffs. Meanwhile, RCB was left searching for answers as they faced yet another defeat in the tournament.
