Captain Rajat Patidar opted to bowl first, and the decision paid off well. The pitch had bounce, the bowlers had intent, and Punjab’s batting lineup simply couldn’t cope. They crumbled for just 101 runs in 14.1 overs. Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma led the bowling attack with clinical precision, each grabbing three wickets and giving the batters no room to breathe. When the time to chase arrived, RCB came out swinging. They were 30 without loss after just three overs. Though they lost Virat Kohli early – dismissed for a run-a-ball 12 thanks to a brilliant over from Kyle Jamieson – the momentum hardly shifted. Phil Salt’s aggressive batting kept the scoreboard ticking, and with Mayank Agarwal offering stability, RCB reached 61/1 by the end of the powerplay. Rajat Patidar later returned to the crease, partnering with Salt to calmly finish things off. Patidar’s composed 15* off 8 balls helped seal the deal, showing how comfortably RCB handled the pressure. Now, the tournament shifts to Ahmedabad. PBKS will await the winner of the Eliminator between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians. Despite the defeat, PBKS still has one more shot at the final. As for RCB, they’ll get some well-earned rest before facing off in the grand finale on June 3. Their fans, meanwhile, are dreaming louder than ever, because this just might be the year the cup finally comes home.
