Royal Challengers Bangalore were taking on Lucknow Super Giants in their second clash of the season. Unfortunately for LSG, KL Rahul severely injured himself and had to be carried out off the field. On a slow Ekana Cricket Stadium surface, the Lucknow Super Giants spinners operated well and restricted the heavyweight batsmen of Royal Challengers Bangalore severely. Bangalore's hopes were highly pinned on their trio of Faf Du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Glenn Maxwell, but apart from skipper Du Plessis, the other two couldn't perform with the bat. The RCB skipper could only score 44 off 40 deliveries. In their quota of 20 overs, RCB could only score 126 odd runs.

The target looked like an easy one for the home team, the Lucknow Super Giants, but their batting turned out to be horrendous, especially when the target was so low for them to achieve. Lucknow never looked like chasing the target and were already missing on the services of their skipper KL Rahul. Within no time, LSG were reduced to 65/6 at the end of 10.4 overs. Lucknow tried to chase down the target, but the trio of Hazlewood, Hasaranga, and Karn Sharma strangled the LSG batters. KL Rahul did come out to bat at number 11, but considering the extent of his injury, he could not contribute and the home team lost by 18 runs.
