In the final over, Pant chose Rathi over Shahbaz Ahmed. Explaining his decision, Pant said, "It was a tough call."

“We were under pressure. But at the same time you've got to trust your bowler. Rathi was the right matchup for sure against Shepherd. He trusted himself and got the job done for the team.”

Marsh was in top form for LSG with the bat, striking at 198.21 and also clobbering nine fours and nine sixes. Other than Marsh's batting, the bowling department put in a collective effort. “We know that as a team we've been grinding hard. Our strength this season has been bowling, the way all the bowlers have put their heart out, especially Prince, Shami bhai, Rathi, all the bowlers.. Avesh, Mayank. There has been some good things as a bowling unit, and looking forward to that,” he said.

Chasing 210, RCB lost both their openers early. They did try to counterattack through Devdutt Padikkla and Rajat Patidar, who got a 95-run stand for the third wicket. But Prince Yadav broke that stand, and soon RCB slipped from 104/2 to 112/5. Tim David tried to stage a fightback, but it wasn't enough for RCB.
