RCB enter fourth IPL final with aim to lift maiden trophy

It has been a phenomenal season for RCB this year. They were among the most consistent teams throughout the league stages, finishing second with nine wins and 19 points from their 14 matches.

After sealing a place in the top two, they crushed PBKS in what was a dominating win in the first qualifier on Thursday, May 29. They bowled Punjab out for a paltry total of 101 before chasing the target in just 10 overs with eight wickets to spare.

The Bengaluru-based franchise have made it to the IPL final thrice previously, making this their fourth appearance in the title clash. They played the final in 2009, 2011, and 2016 but fell short on all three occasions.

This time around, with a much more balanced side and contributions coming from everyone, they will be confident of ending the 18-year wait for their maiden IPL title.
