Bowlers usually play a crucial role in T20Is and their spells can restrict the teams heading towards a decent total on a low score. Prasidh Krishna produced such a wonderful passage of bowling as he scalped two crucial wickets of Dinesh Karthik and Wanindu Hasaranga on two consecutive deliveries.

Royal Challengers Bangalore are playing against Rajasthan Royals in the Qualifier 2 to get into the final of the tournament. Batting first, RCB have posted a total of 157/8 courtesy of a half-century from Rajat Patidar who scored 58 runs. RCB were poised on 146/5 with two overs to go and Dinesh Karthik was in the middle. Karthik was expected to take the team to a total of at least 160 but Prasidh Krishna prevented him from doing so.

Krishna was bowling the penultimate over of the innings and he bowled a length delivery outside off to Karthik on the first ball. The batter tried to loft it over long-on but miscued it and Riyan Parag caught a sitter. Wanindu Hasaranga walked in to bat on the next ball and Krishna nailed a perfect yorker to him shattering his stumps. These two wickets changed the momentum and RCB ended up on a total of 157/8.

Just brilliant!

Superb Bowling!

Ruthless Rajat!

collapse!

34/5 in the last 5! A late collapse has put RCB on the back foot here and they will have to bowl really well to defend this.

RR need to be at 25/0, 32/1, or 39/2 after the powerplay to stay ahead in the chase.#RR #RCB #RRvRCB #RCBvRR #MachineLearning #IPL2022 pic.twitter.com/SRuj0gkPAo

158 Target Looks Like 208 When Bowling Team Have Bowlers Like Siraj , Harshal , Hasranga, Maxi , Hazelwood and Shahbaz 😷😷

Easy Win For RCB Imo 😢
