Royal Challengers Bangalore stumbles again after their narrow win vs Delhi Capitals in their last match. KL Rahul's Punjab Kings win an important match vs Royal Challengers Bangalore by 34 runs on Friday night.

KL Rahul's men batted first in Ahmedabad in Friday. After losing opener Prabhsimran Singh early for 7 runs two veteran cricketers KL Rahul and Chris Gayle took the charge. Gayle was in his attacking best on Friday. He scored a quickfire 46 runs from just 24 balls. While Rahul remained not out on 91 runs ,played a captain's knock and guided his team to 179/5 from their 20 overs. After mini collapse in the middle Rahul was well supported by Harpreet Brar who scored 25 runs important not out runs.

Chasing 180 runs to win Bangalore started poorly and were struggling as their start studded top order batsmen all failed today with the bat today. Apart from Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar no other batsmen were able to deliver today as they could only manage to score 145/8 from 20 overs. Virat scored 35 runs while Patidar scored 31 runs.
