GT won the toss and put the hosts inside and hit immediately. Mohammad Siraj (3 for 19), as he has many times, led the charge with several attacks in the powerplay. RCB soon fell down to 42/4, and it served a reconstruction by Liam Livingstone (54 runs 40), Jitesh Sharma (33 runs 21) and Tim David (32 runs 18) to take RCB to RCB to 160 and RCB (2 for 22) and Vedana Krishna (1) 1 for 26.
GT landed for a slow start at Powerplay and even lost Shubman Gill cheaply, but Jose Butler (73* 39 runs) and B Sai Reformson (49 out of 36) led a collected partnership that gradually and certainly took the game away from the host. Sherfen Rutherford contributed to fireworks and GT was at home with more than two overs.
