Chasing 156 to win, RCB got off to a poor start as they lost opener Parthiv Patel and captain Virat Kohli in the second over whe the team score was just 6. With 6/2 in 2 overs, RCB were looking for a partnership, Gayle and Rilee added few runs but Karn got better of Gayle and got his wicket to reduce RCB to 38/3 in 6.4 overs. Rilee and AB De Villers then took the score past 50 but Karn once again got back into action and got the wicket of Rilee Rossouw. Yuvraj got a start but could not capitalize and was out for 14. Though wickets kept falling of the other end, AB de Villers stood firm on one end and kept hitting fours and sixes at will. At one stage it looked that match is slipping away from RCB but he hit 3 sixes in a Dale Steyn over to bring RCB back in the game. Eventually it was his knock of 89 off 41 balls which included 6 fours and 8 sixes which helped RCB win the match by 4 wickets.

Earlier RCB won the toss and invited SRH to bat first. Sunrisers got off to a slow start as they lost both two wickets and were reduced to 29/2 in 4 overs. Captain Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner then took the charge and played sensible cricket. Shikhar Dhawan got out after scoring 37 but Warner continued his good run and scored 61 off 49 balls to help Sunrisers post a decent total of 155/6 in 20 overs.
