First victory for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home this season. Sensational performance by Josh Hazlewood with the ball.

Rajasthan looked in total control while chasing, but Josh Hazlewood's spell turned the match. With just 18 off 12, Hazlewood produced an over for the ages with two wickets, which helped Bengaluru register a memorable win.
