Miller’s Last-Over Heroics Stun Bengaluru
The match began with RCB being invited to bat first. Phil Salt looked in devastating touch, powering RCB to 99/1 by the 10th over. However, the DC bowling unit, led by Axar Patel (2/18) and Lungi Ngidi (2/39), executed their wide-line plans to perfection. RCB’s middle order stalled, managing only 76 runs in the final 10 overs to finish at 175/8.
DC’s chase got off to a rocky start, losing three wickets for just 18 runs as Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/26) ripped through the top order. KL Rahul (57 off 34) and Tristan Stubbs (60)* then rebuilt the innings with a 69-run stand. Despite an injury scare for Axar Patel, who retired hurt, David Miller arrived at the crease with clinical intent.
With 15 needed off Romario Shepherd’s final over, Miller cleared the ropes twice to break RCB hearts and secure two crucial points for the Capitals.
