In an IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings, Super Kings posted 226 for 6 thanks to Devon Conway’s 83 off 45 balls and Shivam Dube’s 52 off 27 balls.
They then struck early, dismissing Virat Kohli for 6 in the first over, and Mahipal Lomror fell in the next over. However, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell then took control of the game, tearing into Super Kings’ inexperienced seamers and powering Royal Challengers to 141 for 2 in 12 overs. The Sri Lankan pair of Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana saved the day for Super Kings by taking late wickets and using nifty variations to defend 18 off the final over. Despite a strong performance from Dinesh Karthik, Royal Challengers were unable to chase down the total and fell short by 7 runs. Pathirana showed excellent control with his variations and proved why Super Kings were interested in signing him up. The match saw a record-equalling 33 sixes being hit.
