Faf du Plessis won the toss at DY Patil Stadium and opted to bowl first. Unchanged from their defeat to Punjab Kings, RCB found their bowling heroes in Wanindu Hasaranga (4/20) and Harshal Patel (2/11), and dismissed Shreyas Iyer's side for 128 runs in 18.5 overs. RCB's batting stars, Faf and his predecessor Virat Kohli didn't last long, but Sherfane Rutherford dropped anchor. The Windies batter, first with David Willey then Shahbaz Ahmed, calmed the frayed nerves in the RCB camp. Then Tim Southee, the only change in the KKR XI, got two wickets in the 18th over to revive KKR's hopes. But Harshal Patel hit Venkatesh Iyer for two fours in a nervy penultimate over; then needing seven, DK took only two deliveries from Andre Russel's final over to finish it off, a six and a four. On Thursday, holders Chennai Super Kings face debutants Lucknow Super Giants at Brabourne Stadium. Catch highlights and cricket scores of RCB vs KKR, IPL match here:
