Buoyant RCB locks horns with upbeat Royals

RCB is placed fifth and RR sixth on the points table with two points each from two matches. They both lost their respective openers against Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

RCB notched up its first victory of the season, riding on South African star A B de Villiers’ brilliant half-century to beat Kings XI Punjab by four wickets.

RR celebrated its return to the ‘fortress’ Sawai Mansingh Stadium with a 10-run win over Delhi Daredevils in the rain-hit match, getting past a revised target of 71 runs in six overs as per the Duckworth/Lewis method.
