Match 10: BLR vs KOL

Preview 

We have a mouthwatering fixture on our hands on Friday, March 29, as Bengaluru (BEN) will be hosting Kolkata (KOL) at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Both teams are coming off wins in their respective matches and will eye an early spot in the top four. While BEN defeated Punjab (PUN) in their last game, KOL edged past Hyderabad (HYD) in their most recent clash. 

BEN will play their second straight game at the Chinnaswamy Stadium after they faced PUN earlier on Monday, March 25. The hosts got the better of their opponents and secured a 4 wicket win in what can only be described as a thrilling run chase. Virat Kohli scored a classy 77 to put the hosts in a commanding position. Dinesh Kartik then provided the finishing touches with a breezy 28*. 

Meanwhile, KOL survived a Klassen scare as they just got over the finishing line in the last over. Thanks to Harshit Rana’s composure. Setting a daunting total of 209, KOL were well in control of the game when HYD required 76 runs off the final four overs. However, Heinrich Klassen and Shabaz Ahmed threatened to run away with the game and if it wasn’t for the young pacer’s final over HYD would have snatched the game from KOL’s jaws of defeat.
