From there, however, the wickets began to fall. RCB may have been keen to get the game out of the way quickly to give their slim play-off chances an NRR boost, but their batsmen fell as they tried to chase down GT's bowlers.

Will Jacks fell to Noor Ahmad's spin, while Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, and Green were all dismissed by Little's short balls. By the time Noor's googly bowled Kohli for 42 in the 11th over, RCB had stuttered to 117 for 6.

With four overs remaining from Rashid - who hadn't bowled earlier because of a blow to his shoulder while batting - GT was looking for a seventh wicket to put the finishing touches to the total, but Dinesh Karthik didn't let the spinner off the hook, hitting three fours in his first over to bring the Chinnaswamy crowd back to life. When Rashid returned for his second over, Swapnil gave him the same treatment, smashing a six over the bowler's head to secure the two runs.
