Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) created history by registering a stunning 6 wickets against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Cricket Ekana Stadium on Tuesday (May 27).
RCB successfully achieved the third largest target in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and chased 228 runs and won with 8 balls remaining. With this, Bengaluru has ensured the top two places in the points table, which will give them two opportunities to reach the finals. Now RCB will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the first qualifier in Mullanpur on Thursday (28 May).
RCB did a big act
RCB has won all the seven out (Away) match this season so far and has become the first team in IPL history to win all the matches in a season due to home-end-and-way format.
The 5-5 IPL title Champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (Mi) have never been able to do such a feat, but RCB, which has not won a single title so far, has achieved this feat.
Statements of both captains:
Rishabh Pant – “We want to bat first or bowl, no matter. We had shown a glimpse of our ability in the last match, but every match is a lesson for us, until the last ball is put, we will give our 100 percent. Some changes have been made – Bretzke and Digvesh Rathi have returned to the team.”
Jitesh Sharma -“We will field first. The pitch looks good, and we would like to chase the target. Rajat Patidar is our impact player. We are trying to win and reach the top-2, which is always beneficial for the team. Tim David is out of this match, Liam Livingstone and Thaushara have joined the team.
