~This was a good win for RCB against RR. After all, RR is the best team this season so far. In the end the match did end up getting very close. It was certainly very enjoyable for the fans. Toward the later part of the match, I thought RCB would do it once again. I thought they would lose this match. But they ended up defending quite well.

RR started the season with some strong performance but in the past few games they are completely messing up the chases as they are struggling to assign the batting position for certain players and then they are loosing wickets during crucial situation and loosing balls which is not helping their case either.
Was expecting Shimron Hetmyer to stay till the end but he was run out while wasting too many balls. Coaching staff needs to focus on preparing them to pace the innings if they need to start chasing totals again.

Losing crucial wickets is the prime reason. In today's match we were able to see this happen with the wickets of Padikkal, Jaiswal and Sanju Samson. If those wickets have extended for few more overs, atleast they could've brought the match under their control. Bowlers contributed good at the end overs, and failure of batsman too a reason. Hetmyer managed to score 3 runs of 9 balls at the end overs. The team that is at the strong position have started to experience continued loss. The team needs to find their mistakes and correct at the earliest.

The thing is, if RR was able to actually perform better, they would have been the winner. But because they were not able to actually perform well, in the end, RCB was able to win. But at one point it was looking like RR was going to win the match quite easily. But in the end, it was not the case because of the reasons you mentioned. And when the players are getting run out, it is an indication that they are not confident in themselves, and also with the partner that they have on the field.
