Preview:

The Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) have got themselves to blame for the loss against the Delhi Capitals (DC). The moment the equation was down to 1 run off 3 balls, the umpiring error got irrelevant. With a well-set batsman out in the middle, they should have comfortably cruised past the winning line. However, they made a meal out of the chase and as a result, the match finished in a tie.

Then, they couldn’t put up a good show in the Super Over and hence ended up bagging a loss. However, RCB’s case was exactly the opposite. In their game, it was the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) who messed up the chase and conceded the Bengaluru side a victory – much to their relief given that they lost 6 games in a row last year. Royal Challengers Bangalore will hope to carry forward the momentum while KXIP will want to identify chinks in RCB’s armour and register their first win.
