The batting innings saw a standout performance from Heinrich Klaasen, who delivered an explosive century scoring 104 runs off just 62 balls, including 8 fours and 6 sixes.

Faf du Plessis also made a significant contribution with a well-timed 71 runs off 86 balls, ensuring RCB maintained control throughout the chase. Glenn Maxwell added a quickfire 5 runs, and Michael Bracewell chipped in with 4 not out to take RCB across the finishing line, reaching 187 runs for the loss of just 2 wickets in 19.2 overs.

The match showcased some impressive bowling highlights as well, with Michael Bracewell being the star bowler for RCB, taking 2 wickets for only 13 runs in his 2 overs. Sunrisers’ best bowler was Mohammed Siraj, who claimed 1 wicket for 17 runs in his 4 overs, maintaining an exceptional economy rate.

Ultimately, RCB's dominant performance was marked by their exceptional batting depth and solid partnerships, enabling them to chase down the target comfortably and secure a vital victory, strengthening their position in this year's IPL season.
