Match Recap: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Punjab Kings - 6th Match (N)
Date: Monday, 25 March 2024

In an exhilarating showdown at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) triumphed over the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 4 wickets in the 6th match of the IPL 2024 season.

Batting first, Punjab Kings managed to put up a total of 176 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in their 20 overs, showcasing significant contributions from their top-order batsmen. Captain Shikhar Dhawan led the charge with a solid innings of 45 runs off 54 balls, including 5 boundaries and a six. He was well supported by Jitesh Sharma, who scored a brisk 27 runs off 32 balls, while Prabhsimran Singh provided the fireworks with a quick 25 from 26 balls. However, some tight bowling from RCB, especially from Mohammed Siraj and Glenn Maxwell, who took 2 wickets each, stifled PBKS's scoring options.

The RCB chase began with a shaky start as they lost early wickets, but the star of the match, Virat Kohli, played a vital role, scoring 77 off 76 balls, with 11 fours and 2 sixes, especially accelerating the innings towards the latter half. Faf du Plessis (3) and Cameron Green (3) fell cheaply, but Kohli's steady innings was complemented by quick contributions from the middle order, which allowed RCB to chase down the target in just 19.2 overs, finishing at 178 runs for the loss of 6 wickets.

Despite a late challenge from Punjab’s bowlers, particularly Kagiso Rabada and Harpreet Brar, who took 2 and 1 wickets respectively, RCB's steady batting and calm under pressure earned them a significant victory.

RCB's performance not only serves as a strong testament to their batting depth but also highlights the impactful strategies they employed, paving the way for a promising season ahead.

Match Summary:

  • Punjab Kings: 176/6 in 20 overs. (RR: 8.80)
  • Royal Challengers Bangalore: 178/6 in 19.2 overs. (RR: 9.20)
