IPL 2020, RCB vs CSK Highlights: Royal Challengers Bangalore win by 37 runs

RCB register another win

Chennai Super Kings fall short by 37 runs. Royal Challengers Bangalore clinch their fourth win of the tournament.

All done for CSK?

Chennai Super Kings have lost Dhoni and Sam Curran in consecutive deliveries and are in charge of this match. Surely, has to be a big win for Kohli's men. CSK need 63 to win off 22 balls.

CSK lose Jagadeesan

WICKET! Direct hit from Chris Morris and Jagadeesan is way short of the crease. Chennai lose their third wicket as MS Dhoni walks into the crease. CSK need 81 runs off 34 balls. N Jagadeesan run out (Chris Morris) 33(28)

Chennai losing pace in 170-run chase

While Chennai Super Kings have found the odd boundary, they are largely struggling to keep up with the soaring required-run-rate. Jagadeesan and Rayudu have to find a big over or two to help the chase. CSK 63/2 after 12 overs.

RCB keeping it tight

RCB bowlers have been extremely disciplined with their line and lengths to CSK batsmen. They haven't sprayed it around. Jagadeesan and Ambati Rayudu are having a tough time out there. CSK 46/2 after 9.3 overs.

Chennai continue to be cautious

Chennai Super Kings need to accelerate if they want to win this match. At the moment, they are settling for ones and twos with occasional dot balls. This is not helping CSK's cause. CSK 35/2 after 8 overs.

Chennai lose Faf du Plessis early Chennai lose Faf du Plessis early

WICKET! Washington Sundar gets the big fish! Faf du Plessis tried to tonk it to the cow corner but longer boundaries and a bit of mistiming helped the ball straight to the hands of Chris Morris at deep mid-wicket. du Plessis c Chris Morris b Washington Sundar 8(10)

CSK off to a watchful start.

Both Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis are dealing with Chris Morris and Navdeep Saini with care. CSK can't afford to lose an early wicket here. CSK 6/0 after 2 overs.

Bangalore post 169 in 20 overs

Virat Kohli masterclass (90* off 52 balls) helps Royal Challengers Bangalore to post 169/4 in 20 overs.

Virat Kohli is pulling off a masterclass in Dubai. He is playing some fabulous strokes and is helping RCB reach a competitive total. RCB 153/4 after 18.4 overs.

Another wicket for RCB!

Not many runs on board, yet they are losing wickets! Sundar has to go!
