RCB Collapses: Bowlers Rule in Guwahati Thriller

Royal Challengers Bengaluru collapses against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. Bowlers exploit challenging conditions after rain delay. Read the match summary.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru experienced a challenging outing at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Following a rain delay, the toss favored Rajasthan Royals, who chose to bowl. The conditions immediately became conducive for fast bowlers, with Jofra Archer striking on the very first ball.

Despite initial drives from Virat Kohli, RCB's batsmen were eventually undone by the prodigious swing and seam on the surface. A flurry of wickets followed, including key dismissals by Ravi Bishnoi and military medium pacer Brijesh Sharma, who accounted for vice-captain Jitesh Sharma and Tim David.

While the pitch eased later, allowing Impact Sub Venkatesh Iyer to score an unbeaten 29 off 15 balls, RCB posted a total that appears defendable but difficult. Rajasthan Royals, having won all their previous matches, boast a formidable batting lineup, making the match a stern test for the defending champions.
