Recalling the game, PBKS won the toss and elected to bowl first.
Arshdeep Singh (3/40) and Kyle Jamieson (3/48) applied timely breaks with the ball, while Yuzi Chahal (1/37) also prevented batters from attacking.
While Virat (43 in 35 balls, with three fours) tried to keep the innings together, skipper Rajat Patidar (26 in 16 balls, with a four and two sixes), Jitesh Sharma (24 in 10 balls, with two fours and two sixes) and Liam Livingstone (25 in 15 balls, with two fours) upped the attack enough to help RCB post 190/9 in 20 overs.
In the run-chase, PBKS started well with Priyansh Arya (24 in 19 balls, with four boundaries) and Prabhsimran (26 in 22 balls, with two sixes) stitching a 43-run stand.
Josh Inglis (39 in 23 balls, with a four and four sixes) and Shashank Singh (61* in 30 balls, three wins and six sixes) tried their level best to keep up with the rising run rate, but Krunal Pandya (2/17), Yash Dayal (1/18) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/38) put a fine show with the ball to restrict PBKS to 184/7, despite a sensational 22 runs smashed by Shashank in the final over while needing 29.
Krunal Pandya was awarded the Player of the Match for his exceptional bowling performance.

Caitlin Clark's BFF's plea to fans throwing adult toys on court: 'Going to hurt us'

The Friday night game between Chicago Sky and Golden State Valkyries saw an untoward object being thrown onto the basketball court. Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark's reported BFF, took to X to address the issue of sex toys being thrown on basketball courts. (AP) The WNBA game had to be stopped so the referee could remove the sex toy that someone had chucked on the court during the game. Viewer discretion advised; NSFW video ahead. What does the video show? The clip shows a green item being thrown on court during the game. When the referee goes to check it, one can see it is a sex toy, particularly a dildo. The item is removed from the court and an attendant picks it up, wrapped in a cloth, to allow the game to continue. Also Read | Who is Michael Lewis?

How WNBA star Sophie Cunningham reacted Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham took to X to address the issue, saying 'stop throwing dildos on the court… you're going to hurt one of us.' Cunningham, herself, has meanwhile been in the news and not all of it has been for her actions on the court. Recently, before Fever's game against Chicago Sky, Cunningham sported a 'Hot Girls Eat Arby's' tee-shirt, and later announced on Instagram that she was partnering with the fast food chain. During the Chicago vs Indiana game, Cunningham also seemingly lost her balance and fell on a cameraman who was sitting courtside. Videos of the fall began to circulate online with the caption saying 'Cunningham sat on the cameraman's face'. In the clip, Cunningham can be seen trying to throw the ball, while running backwards, and the momentum makes her lose her balance, so she almost sits on what appears to be a cameraman's face on the side of the court. However, the Fever player who is Caitlin Clark's reported BFF, immediately realizes the situation and picks herself up to continue the game.

We were like until we reached to a point of end, we are not going to say anything. We will be like a normal couple on social media," Chahal said.
