One of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s enduring weaknesses is their bowling, and Mumbai Indians mercilessly exposed the lack of bite in their bowling unit on Thursday night as the MI batters destroyed a target of 197 in under 16 overs, with every RCB bowler going at an economy of over 10 runs per over.
Despite having three quick fifties from du Plessis (61 off 40), Rajat Patidar (50 off 26), and Dinesh Karthik (53* off 23), RCB managed to post a solid total of 196/3. However, they were unable to hold off the rampaging MI batting attack, which was spearheaded by Ishan Kishan (69 off 34) and Suryakumar Yadav (52 off 19).
