KKR will be happy with this total. Salt at the top was like a runaway train and he set the tone. Narine was kept quiet though by very good bowling into the pads and outside his reach. He did not make many and RCB fought back with wickets after Salt went. But Shreyas Iyer held one end up and made his first fifty of the season. Contributions from Rinku and Russell helped KKR as they looked for a 200-plus score. At the end Ramandeep Singh played a blinder and his innings just gave KKR the extra 10-15 runs. For most parts RCB executed very well especially to Narine and Russell. The plans were good from RCB who stuck to it for the majority of the innings and Green was the pick of the bowlers. Will be a stiff chase for RCB. Can they do it?
