Royal Challengers Bengaluru and its fans are absolutely livid with how Qualifier 1 panned out for them. RCB could not have asked for a better and more dominant match for them to take to the finals. Hazlewood’s return bolstered the strength of Bengaluru’s bowling side, as they simply swept away an extremely formidable Punjab batting lineup. They have found themselves in the finals after nine years now.
Bengaluru sent Punjab to bat first, and it proved to be a masterstroke for them. Punjab, in an attempt to start aggressively, kept playing poor shots and kept losing wickets regularly. Bengaluru were left with just a target of 102, which, as expected, was a cakewalk for them. Salt led the assault on the Punjab bowling and easily crushed them by eight wickets.
