RCB won on the last ball
Royal Challengers Bangalore had to score 18 runs in the last 2 overs. Jasprit Bumrah gave only 3 runs in the 19th over, due to which the trend of the match turned towards Mumbai. Raj Bawa came to bowl the last over, who had to save 15 runs. First ball wide and second no-ball, everything was going bad for Mumbai. Romario Shepherd could not make a big hit on the free-hit and was able to score only one run. Raj Bawa made it wide, on which Bengaluru batsmen scored a single run, which was a gift for the chasing team.
The second official ball was wide and then Shepherd was out on the third ball. The dice had once again rolled towards Mumbai. Raj Bava again made a mistake and gave wide. RCB’s hopes of victory were dealt a blow due to Shepherd’s dismissal, but those hopes came back when Bhuvneshwar Kumar hit a six. Bhuvneshwar took one run on the next ball.
The circumstances were such that RCB had to score 2 runs in one ball to win. There was every possibility of a super over and young player Rasikh Dar Salaam was in front. Rasikh Dar ensured RCB’s victory by scoring 2 runs on the last ball.
