A fine effort by the Punjab Kings bowlers after the half-century stand by Rajat Patidar and Glenn Maxwell limited Royal Challengers Bangalore to 155 for 9, helping their team secure a 54-run win. The foundation for PBKS' big score was led by two Englishmen - Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone - who stroked quickfire fifties. With their sixth win in 12 games, importantly with a big margin, PBKS have kept themselves in with a chance for a playoff spot.

Glenn Maxwell gone, Dinesh Karthik gone. Is the chase already over for RCB?
