The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) decimated the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) with a 112-run win at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday, May 14.

RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and elected to bat first in the afternoon contest. Virat Kohli got off to a sluggish start and was dismissed by KM Asif right after the powerplay to break the 50-run opening partnership.

The task of guiding the innings was once again down to Du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell, who responded with a 69-run partnership for the second wicket and notched their respective half-centuries as well.

RCB's middle order once again failed to fire as they collapsed from 119-1 to 120-4 in no time. Anuj Rawat played a crucial cameo, which included 16 runs off the last three balls to stretch RCB's total to 171-5 in 20 overs.

RR fell into early trouble after losing their top order inside the powerplay itself. The home side were reduced to 20-4 in the fifth over. RR's innings took a turn for the worse and barring a few sixes from Shimron Hetmyer, it was a dominating display from the RCB bowlers.

The home side were dismantled for just 59 runs, which is also the third-lowest total in the history of the competition.
