IPL 2022 Highlights, RCB vs CSK: Bangalore hold nerve to beat Chennai by 13 runs, enter top-4

Thats's it from today's game. We will return tomorrow for the coverage of Delhi Capitals' game against Sunrisers Hyderabad at 4:30 PM! Until then, goodbye and good night!

“We definitely needed that (win). We put up a decent total. We are moving in the right direction. We have been very good in the bowling department. I thought 165 would be nice to get. I thought the PP was a good time to score. The fielding was amazing. Some great catching and good bowling indeed.”

Really good bowling effort. We felt there is enough tackiness in the wicket that we were able to exploit with the spinners and for the pacers to hold their nerve against some powerful death hitters to finish off the game was good.

“We did well to restrict them to 170 runs. What really let us down was the batsmanship. I feel especially when we are chasing, you know what's required on the board and what the bowlers are doing. At times you have to curb your instinct and try to see what the situation is demanding rather than just play your shot.”

An important win for RCB as they return to top-4. They beat CSK by 13 runs, and Chennai Super Kings' hopes for a playoff qualification are all but over.

But it is now mathematically impossible for CSK to win. 15 needed off 2 balls. Time for Harshal to stick to basics

Pretorius fails to clear the boundary this time. He goes straight over bowler's head but doesn't find the distance, as Kohli takes a good catch while running from the long-on boundary.

CSK 149/8 in 19.2 overs. Taeget 174

Pretorius begins the over with a six over long-off! 25 needed off 5 balls

Harshal bowls the final over.

Lucky four for Dwaine Pretorius as he finds a top edge while attempting a pull. The ball sails past the keeper's head.

And that should be it. Dhoni departs! Hazlewood pitches it short and Dhoni smashes this delivery towards deep midwicket. It looked like he would clear the distance but Rajat Patidar takes a good catch to crush CSK's hopes.

CSK 135/7 in 18.1 overs. Target 174

Chennai Super Kings need 39 runs off 12 deliveries. If there's anyone who can pull this off, it's Dhoni.

Can the captain keep CSK alive in the playoff race?

Moeen Ali departs. Harshal Patel picks his second wicket of the night. Moeen wanted to go for a shot through the leg side but had to change the shot at the last second, as Harshal goes wide outside off-stump.

No timing and he is caught at midwicket.

CSK 133/6 in 17.2 overs

Moeen Ali begins Harshal Patel's 18th over with a six. Brilliant hit over deep fine leg.

CSK 133/5 in 17.1 overs. Target 174

The big man arrives. Can he take CSK home?

Ravindra Jadeja falls! Jadeja's poor run continues with the bat. He is dismissed on 3.

CSK 122/5 in 16

CSK need 56 runs to win in 30 balls.

A brilliant hit to end the over as umpire signals for a strategic timeout.

CSK 118/4 in 15 overs. Target 174

Devon Conway is dismissed! Hasaranga strikes! 

Conway takes the aerial route but he is caught at deep backward square. One sweep too many for Conway.

An uphill task for CSK, but certainly not impossible with these two, and the likes of Jadeja and Dhoni yet to come.

The CSK opener brings his second-successive half-century! Conway had remained unbeaten on 85 in the previous game, and seems to have begun from where he left against SRH. 

Conway scores his half-century in 33 balls.

100 up for CSK as well. 

Easy for Moeen. Poor delivery from Harshal as he pitches it short and outside leg. Moeen goes on the backfoot and pulls it away past fine leg for a boundary.

CSK 96/3 in 12.2 overs. Target 174

Harshal Patel into the attack as he replaces Wanindu Hasaranga.

Lucky boundary for Moeen Ali. He tries to push a delivery outside-off against Maxwell but finds an outside-edge. Goes past wicketkeeper for a four. No slip in place.

RCB 92/3 in 12 over

Devon Conway charges down the track against Wanindu Hasaranga and smashes it over the deep midwicket for a towering six!

Conway moves into his 40s.

CSK 85/3 in 11 overs. Target 174
