After the powerplay RCB were 80/0 and even after Salt went, Kohli was in no mood to give it away. Padikkal did not make many but skipper Patidar came out and smashed a 16-ball 34 to all but put the game beyond doubt. A win with 22 balls to spare and that is a massive one in this format. Will boost RCB's NRR already even though this is just the first game for both sides. The dew coming down did not help KKR too but they were well short despite that. A score of 200 seems to be the minimum here. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff...
