7.45pm Glenn Maxwell has been named player of the match for his 44-ball 77. Faf du Plessis, Harshal Patel and Siraj all played important roles as well. RCB win their third home game of the season. That's all the action from here, but you can head over here to catch the action from the Eden Gardens as Kolkata Knight Riders take on Chennai Super Kings. From the Chinnaswamy this is me, Abhimanyu, signing off on behalf of Sidharth Monga, Chandan Duorah and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo.

Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan Royals captain: "I think we are playing in this ground, I think 10, 12, 13 per over is chaseable. It was just about momentum and hittin a few more sixes. Normally Hettie does it but today Jurel was hitting it well. It was just about one shot here and there. IT depends on who is bowling and what the situation is and whether we are chasing and setting a target. I think Ashwin with his experience and what he has done in the last couple of games has delivered. That's what the planning was. I think with the IPL games, the winning and losing is done with very small margins so we have to keep checking our routines."

7.30pm RCB manage to defend 190 despite that 98-run stand between Jaiswal and Padikkal. But the big questions will be about some of the decisions Rajasthan Royals made, like sending Ashwin over Holder, and then bringing in the Impact Sub in the last over while still keeping Holder in the dugout. The decision for themto run two in the last ball of the penultimate over and the second ball of the final over to keep Ashwin on strike was also questionable. But RCB have done a great job with ball in hand and in the field, after Maxwell and du Plessis' assault with the ball.

Patel to Jurel, 1 run, Short and wide, he cuts it straight to backward point. Virat Kohli pumps his fists as RCB collect the two points!

Patel to Abdul Basith, 1 run, Slower ball outside off, he can only pull it out to deep midwicket and the Chinnaswamy roars with the win all but sealed!

With two balls to go, Basith has come on as the Impact Sub! No Holder. And 10 needed to win

Patel to Ashwin, OUT, Picks out deep midwicket now! It's full outside off, Ashwin looks to swing it leg-side but doesn't hit it well enough. Prabhudessai makes no mistake and now it's 9 off 2 with Jurel off strike!

Patel to Ashwin, FOUR, And why shouldn't Ashwin keep strike?! Full on leg and he swings it behind square and Siraj can't cut it out in the deep!

Patel to Ashwin, 2 runs, Harshal nails the yorker and Ashwin digs it out through midwicket. Harshal chases after it and throws it. Willey can't collect and then tries to kick the ball onto the stumps but misses. Ashwin keeps strike

Patel to Ashwin, FOUR, Oh that's gone for four! What's happened there?! It's a slower ball outside off, Ashwin is looking to pull and checks his shot in the last moment. But the top edge takes it over the keeper and the ball runs away! Royals will take that any day of the week!

Harshal Patel has 20 to defend in the final over. Ashwin on strike for the first ball, with Jurel in red hot form. Only four fielders outside the circle
