RR vs RCB, 13th Match at Mumbai, IPL, Apr 05 2022 - Match Result

11.50pm: That's a wrap for another day at the IPL. Sreshth Shah has rattled up the report and there will be more video and analysis on the site shortly. Thanks for keeping us company, we'll do it all again tomorrow. Bye!

11.40pm: Time for the presentations. RCB captain Faf du Plessis: "That's one out of the hat. To pull it out of nowhere you need some good characters, and DK is as big a character as you can get. That calmness towards the end allows others to just come in. I think we bowled really well up until the 19th, then Jos got some shots in with the bowlers under pressure. Got them a score just above par. We didn't get the start we needed, Yuzi came in and bowled well. But the belief we have, guys can come in and win games from nowhere. [Shahbaz innings] He's a skinny guy but he hits a long way, and he's got a clear gameplan. I believe he'll play a big part with the ball, too."

Dinesh Karthik is Player of the Match: "I made a conscious effort to do justice to myself. Felt I could have done better in the last few years. The way I've trained has been different. I was telling myself I'm not done yet. I have a goal and I want to achieve something. We needed 12 runs an over, so you need to figure out what to do. Stay calm, know your game and who you can take on. Made an effort to play white-ball cricket, practice matches and scenarios. Those are the hours you put in when no one sees. The real work is done in the lead-up, which is what I'll give credit to. You have to premeditate in T20, but if it's not there, you have to have the ability to change the shot."

11.27pm: So DK drives Royal Challengers across the line, with solid support from Shahbaz Ahmed, handing Royals their first defeat of this year's IPL. RCB were seemingly in all sorts of strife at 88 for 5 after 13 overs, needing 82 from 42 - but Karthik took 19 off R Ashwin's fourth over, which cost 21 in all, and suddenly the momentum flipped. Sounds like the dew did properly take effect towards the end, and RR were unable to defend a middling total, underpinned by an unbeaten 70 off 47 balls from orange cap-wearer Jos Buttler

Here's Royals captain Sanju Samson: "I can't pinpoint a moment [when the game was lost], great effort to put in that total, after losing the toss. Think it was a respectable score, but when the dew is coming up... I think it's a great effort by my team. As a bowling unit you like to take your time and set your fields. Lot of positives to take, and we can learn a lot of things, too."

Samson tosses the ball to Yashasvi Jaiswal. Three runs needed

"How good has Shahbaz has been for RCB," whoops Abhinandan. "They were trolled for getting him back. He almost guarantees 20-30 runs with bat. Can give couple of good overs and a live wire in the field."
