Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) triumphed over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 43 runs in a high-scoring IPL match held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB posted an impressive total of 250 runs, the highest in this IPL season, largely due to Tim David's explosive performance, where he scored 70 runs off just 25 balls, including 8 sixes. The innings saw a late flourish, with RCB scoring 97 runs in the last five overs without losing a wicket. CSK struggled in their chase, losing wickets at regular intervals and managing only 207 runs before being bowled out. Sarfaraz Khan's quick 50 runs was the highlight for CSK, but it was not enough to challenge RCB’s formidable total. The match showcased the importance of power-hitters in T20 cricket, as David's innings turned the game in RCB's favor.
