As for the game, KKR easily defeated RCB by 7 wickets with 19 balls remaining in their first meeting of the ongoing IPL 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Friday.

After Narine set the tone for KKR with a blazing innings on a pitch that had eased out in the second innings with the dew too playing a role, Venkatesh (50) and Shreyas (39 not out) ensured KKR won with a bit of gas still in the tank.

It was an emphatic victory for KKR as they won with 19 balls to spare and maintained their domination over RCB at the Chinnaswamy, winning their sixth successive match at RCB’s home venue. This is their second win in as many matches this season.

KKR thus moved to the second spot on the points table behind Chennai Super Kings. RCB suffered their second defeat in three games and how they lost will leave them disappointed.

KKR bowled superbly on a good pitch, using short-of-the-length off-cutters to restrict RCB to 182/6 boosted by a superb unbeaten 83 by former skipper Virat Kohli, who batted through the innings. Cameron Green and Dinesh Karthik contributed breezy cameos and with Kohli anchoring the innings, hitting four boundaries and four maximums, RCB recovered well to put up a decent total. Andre Russell was the best KKR bowler with 2-29.
