RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and opted to field first. KKR struggled early, losing openers Finn Allen and Ajinkya Rahane quickly. Despite a strong performance from Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 71 runs off 46 balls, and Rinku Singh's 49 runs, KKR managed to post 192/4 in their 20 overs. RCB's chase was spearheaded by Virat Kohli, who scored an impressive 105 runs off 60 balls, leading his team to victory in 19.1 overs.
