What incredible scenes at the Narendra Modi Stadium with RCB fans celebrating after witnessing their long-awaited dream come true! Virat Kohli is overwhelmed with emotion and his RCB teammates are celebrating with him. Coming to the match, it was a tricky target but one Punjab Kings would have felt confident chasing, given their form. However, apart from Shashank Singh, who smashed 61* off 33 balls, no other batter could convert their start into a substantial total. Punjab Kings' middle-order of Shreyas Iyer (1), Nehal Wadhera (15) and Marcus Stoinis (6) had off-days. For RCB, it was Krunal Pandya who totally turned the tide of the game in his side's favour. His figures of 2/17 off four overs tightened the screws on Punjab Kings' run-chase and Bhuvneshwar Kumar also bagged two wickets. Yash Dayal (1/18), Romario Shepherd (1/30) and Josh Hazlewood (1/54) were amongst the wickets as well. RCB have finally joined the list of teams to have won the IPL and it surely would go down as a memorable night for the RCB players and their legion of fans all over the world!

Bowlers continue to keep RCB on top here with Suyash Sharma now bowling a five-run over. RCB will be happy with how things have gone so far and Punjab Kings need a couple of good overs to bounce back in this match.

03 Jun, 22:10 (IST)

Punjab Kings are 52/1 at the end of the powerplay and they would not be too unhappy with this performance. Josh Inglis and Prabhsimran Singh will look to build a partnership while RCB continue their search for wickets. How the spinners--Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma operate here will be key. Suyash Sharma has replaced Mayank Agarwal and is RCB's Impact Player.

03 Jun, 22:05 (IST)

OUT! Josh Hazlewood has provided the breakthrough for RCB here and it is Priyansh Arya who has to depart! The left-hander hit the ball in the leg-side and for a while it seemed to be going for a six. But Phil Salt did well to catch the ball and he hurled it back in with the momentum taking him over the fence and completed the dismissal. Priyansh Arya c Phil Salt b Josh Hazlewood 24(19

03 Jun, 21:58 (IST)

03 Jun, 21:53 (IST)

Josh Hazlewood could have had a wicket off his first over but Romario Shepherd dropped Prabhsimran Singh's catch at fine leg. The right-hander pulled this delivery and the ball went straight into Romario Shepherd's hands before bouncing out. 

03 Jun, 21:48 (IST)

Punjab Kings are off to a good start here with Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya scoring 23 runs off the first two overs. RCB need wickets up front and if it doesn't happen, Punjab Kings might run away with this game. 

03 Jun, 21:43 (IST)

Punjab Kings get 13 runs off the first over, much like what RCB got. And Prabhsimran Singh too has struck a six which teased the fielder for a bit like Phil Salt earlier in RCB's innings. 

03 Jun, 21:27 (IST)

Arshdeep Singh takes a third wicket in the over and RCB have finished with 190/9. Matthew Hayden on commentary, says that they are 30 runs short and it seems to be right at this stage. However, RCB do have a very good bowling line-up and are capable of defending this. RCB never really got any momentum going in this innings and would not be too happy with this. Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson got three wickets each while Azmatullah Omarzai, Vijaykumar Vyshak and Yuzvendra Chahal got one each. Is it enough for RCB? Or would PBKS chase it down? The second innings is set to resume shortly!
