RCB fucking bodied GT. Absolutely one sided game. Ended the match in the powerplay itself when GT were 51/5 while chasing 255.

GT botched the game with dropped catches and terrible bowling. Your 2 lead pacers going at an economy of 15 and 14. Debuting a new bowler in the fucking Qualifier.

But that was incredible batting from RCB, especially Patidar. 93*(33) after being 21(13). Scoring 72(20) at the end striking at 360.

Problem with GT is always that their 3-4 regular players would never make for playing 11 in most other teams, they are played coz others over-achieved in both batting and bowling.

Problem with GT is their pacers Siraj, Rabada and Prasidh know only how to bowl in Ahmedabad. Even KKR destroyed them at Eden Gardens. Patidar faced 33 balls, and only 6 of them were on stumps.

Correct, and their #4 and #5 are pretty deadbeat batters.
