LSG Collapse Under Pressure – Bowled Out for 146
Batting first after losing the toss, LSG never found momentum. Despite a fighting 40 from Mitchell Marsh and a quick 38 by Ayush Badoni, the innings lacked stability.
The middle order crumbled badly:
Rishabh Pant falls out just 1 run
Nicholas Pooran fell cheaply
Lower order couldn’t resist the bowling attack
The standout performance came from:
Bhuvneshwar Kumar – lethal with the ball, picking key wickets
Rasikh Salam Dar – impressive spell breaking the backbone of LSG batting .
LSG were eventually bowled out for 146 in 20 overs, a below-par total on a batting-friendly Bengaluru pitch.
RCB Chase – Kohli Leads, Finishers Seal the Deal
In response, RCB started cautiously but quickly shifted gears. Although Philip Salt fell early, the innings was anchored by the ever-reliable Virat Kohli.
Kohli’s 49 off 34 balls ensured control during the chase, while:
Rajat Patidar smashed a quickfire 27 (13 balls)
Jitesh Sharma played a blistering cameo (23 off 9)
The finishing touches were applied by:
Tim David
Romario Shepherd
RCB comfortably reached 149/5 in just 15.1 overs, showing a dominant batting performance.

Final Thoughts
This match highlighted RCB’s all-round strength — disciplined bowling followed by a clinical chase. On the other hand, LSG will need to improve their fragile middle order if they want to stay competitive in the tournament.
With this win, RCB gains valuable momentum in the IPL 2026 standings, while LSG faces questions about consistency and batting depth.
