At the end of the first timeout, CSK scored 55 for 2. Dube and Uthappa looked in great hitting form smashing Hasaranga and other RCB bowlers to all parts of the ground.

Chasing a mammoth total of 217 runs to win, it was not an ideal start for RCB as Faf du Plessis was caught by Jordan long-on while Kohli provided an easy catch to Dube. Maxwell looked in brilliant touch smashing Theekshana for runs. Theekshana then dismissed Anuj Rawat to leave RCB struggling at 42 for 3 at the end of the first six overs.

Theekshana took his fourth wicket dismissing Shahbaz Ahmed. Dinesh Karthik looked in sublime touch as he got a reprieve with Mukesh Chaudhary dropping a sitter. Hasaranga was dismissed by Jadeja to leave RCB on verge of defeat. At the end of 2nd timeout, RCB ended at 146 for 7.

After the timeout, Rayudu took a one-handed stunner to dismiss Akash deep. Dinesh Karthik showed intent with some big shots against Mukesh Chaudhary giving some hopes for RCB. Karthik kept the pressure on CSK bowlers but was caught brilliantly by Jadeja at the boundary. Siraj and Hazlewood played full quota overs as RCB made 193 for 9.

CSK 216 for 4 in 20 overs (Uthappa 95*, Uthappa 88, Hasaranga 2/35) beat RCB 193 for 9 in 20 overs (Shahbaz Ahmed 41, Karthik 34, Theekshana 4/33, Jadeja 3/39) by 23 runs.

For his unbeaten 95 off 46 balls, Shivam Dube was named the man of the match award.
