RCB WIN BY 9 WICKETS!!!

RCB 186-1 (18.4 ovs) vs KKR 183-5 | Scorecard

Another smashing batting performance from the swashbuckling duo of Kohli and de Villiers as they power RCB to a convincing nine-wicket victory, with eight balls to spare.

Kohli finishes unbeaten on 75 from 51 balls, hitting five fours and three sixes, while AB slammed 59 from 31 balls.

The duo, who put on a record 229-run stand in the previous match, have put on another stand, as they added 115 runs from 67 balls to carry their team to victory. This was the fifth-century stand between the two batsmen in this year's IPL and as Sunil Gavaskar rightly describes it, "they have been lighting up the tournament."

RCB never really lost the momentum throughout the whole course of their run chase and starting from Gayle's attack to another exhibition of world class batting from Kohli and AB de Villiers, it turned out to be another smashing performance from the visitors.

It is a very important victory for RCB, who jump to fifth in the standings with six wins from 12 games, while KKR have seven wins from the same number of games.
