Royal Challengers Bangalore comfortably won the match and Siraj was adjudged the Man of the Match.

Batting first, KKR’s top order collapsed badly and Siraj took the important wickets of Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana in consecutive deliveries. Tom Banton fell to Navdeep Saini the very next over.

Then, former skipper Dinesh Karthik and current skipper Eoin Morgan tried to slow things down for a while. However, the partnership ended with Karthik returning to the pavilion after getting out LBW to a beauty by Chahal.

Although Morgan tried his best to take KKR to a respectable total, he could not do much because of lack of support from the other end. The team somehow managed to play 20 overs and scored 84 runs for 8 wickets, Morgan being the top scorer with 30 runs.
