More things have gone right than wrong for RCB this season, and as a result, they sit where they are in the points table now. While Virat Kohli and Josh Hazlewood sit at the top of the runs and wickets charts respectively, almost every part of their machinery has done their part to perfection. RCB don't boast of big ticket names in their spin attack, but they have been crucial in winning key phases of play more often than not.

Coming into Friday's game, only SRH's spin attack (11 wickets) had taken fewer wickets than the 20 managed by RCB spinners but their ER of 8.40 was the fourth best in the competition, and of the two of the attacks ahead of them, one boasted of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, and the other Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. It was RCB's spin attack that turned games in their favour in Kolkata and Mullanpur after the home sides got off to dominating starts of 107/2 and 62/1.
