Warner's execution was impeccable. RCB were perfectly capable of chasing - in the past, ABdV had torn apart Dale Steyn in the last over on 2 occasions, and Brendan McCullum had done the same to Trent Boult.
But here, w/ a total of 208, even if RCB did manage 10 runs an over for the first 10 overs, problem was that they had to sustain that throughout the match. After ABdV, it's hard to sustain, and once AB was gone, it was uphill. Watto is capable of big hitting while opening, but rarely has had much success in the late middle order. AB has, but for that, he has to come in early: whenever he comes in w/ runs already on the board, he goes cheaply, like it happened here.
Cutting - the deserved MoM - was decisive: first w/ some pinch hitting that went unmatched from the RCB side, and then w/ his bowling, which while expensive during Gayle-Virat's stint at the crease, became much better once they were gone.
Yes, you are right.. it was not that big of total for them to chase.. what made difficult was bhuvi and fizz .. The problem with RCB on finals was failure of the middle order, after Gayle, kholi and ABD there were no other batsman who pulled it up for them against SRH bowlers and ABD and Kholi's wickets were quick, after kohli... abd didn't get that buffer time to settle down .. and lost his wicket .. with no settled batsman at one end.. the middle order collapsed .
Yes those initial 10 overs .. they owned it.. but 114/1 and 140/2 turned the game around ..with gayle and kohli out of the field... yess Watson was never successful in the middle order ... though expensive to start with ... . cutting got the first break for SRH with Gayle's wicket :)) and later on he was great !!
