The 24th match of the Indian Premier League was played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Monday, April 17 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. And fans witnessed another run-fest in Bengaluru in which CSK defeated RCB in a nail-biting contest by 8 runs.

Talking about the match, RCB won the toss and opted to bowl first. Batting first, CSK lost Ruturaj Gaikwad early, but there was no looking back after that as Ajinkya Rahane attacked them right from the time he entered the pitch, and got the momentum back in CSK's favor. Devon Conway didn't waste any time either as he looked in sublime touch right from the start of the match.ย 

Along with Rahane, he had a lovely partnership, and once Rahane departed, Shivam Dube continued the attack. Dube hit a few of the biggest sixes of the evening, as he notched up a brisk fifty. Conway had a chance to notch up a century but Harshal Patel got him out with a yorker. Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja struck a few lusty blows towards the end and helped CSK post the second-highest total of the season 226 runs.

Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell's partnership went in vain

Chasing the target, RCB had a horrible start as they lost their first two wickets inside the powerplay. At 15/2, Faf du Plessis was joined by Glenn Maxwell and the two overseas RCB batters decided to take the attack to the CSK bowlers. The match-ups were ridiculed as Maxwell and du Plessis forged a 126-run stand for the third wicket and both were breathing fire from their bat.

But later, Maheesh Theekshana brought CSK back into the game by providing a crucial breakthrough of Glenn Maxwell. Du Plessis, who was dropped on 0 and 52, followed him in the very next over as he fell to Moeen Ali. Matheesha Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande were summoned to bowl in the death overs and they delivered under pressure by restricting RCB on the score of 218 runs.
