Royals 59 all out
This is the third-lowest score in the IPL. Royals have been derailed and how. They came into this game with the second-best NRR in the competition, but this margin of defeat will give it a pummelling. RCB can mathematically get to 16, Royals can finish on 14 at best with their hopes hanging by the slimmest of threads.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have been poor travellers, losing three of their last four away games. But with their campaign on the line and net run rate in need of a massive lift, they ambushed Rajasthan Royals by 112 runs, their biggest win ever away from the Chinnaswamy, to be in the hunt for the playoffs and give their negative net run rate a massive boost.
