RCB Clinches First Home Win
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally broke their home losing streak with a thrilling 11-run victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL 2025. After posting a formidable total of 205/5, RCB’s bowlers held their nerve to restrict RR to 194/9. As a result, RCB earned their first win at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium this season.
Moreover, Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood turned the game on its head with a spectacular performance. Not only did he take 4 wickets, but he also delivered a crucial 19th over, conceding just one run. Consequently, the momentum shifted entirely in RCB’s favor during the death overs.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals, who were once strong playoff contenders, suffered their fifth consecutive defeat. Despite a solid start, they couldn’t keep up with the rising required run rate, falling short in the final overs.
In conclusion, this win not only boosts RCB’s confidence but also keeps their playoff hopes alive. On the other hand, RR must now reassess their strategies quickly if they hope to stay in the race.
