After coming out on tops in their first two matches, RCB took an about turn by snatching an unexpected defeat from the jaws of a certain victory against KKR on Thursday. On Saturday, the team did much worse, after being put into bat by RR, who won the toss. In the simmering Dubai heat, it appeared as if the RCB batsmen quickly wanted to return to their shaded dug-outs rather than be under an unwelcome sunshine that would have, otherwise, been beating down on their backs, had they continued. They lost badly but saved the ignominy of creating a record for the lowest IPL in history by crossing 58. In yet another low-scoring game, played later in the evening, KXIP continued their unabated winning march by successfully defending 132 runs against KKR, who they beat by 23 runs.
