The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, also known as the Karnataka State Cricket Association Stadium, is widely known as a batting paradise. With its short boundaries, flat pitches, and high-scoring nature, defending competitive totals often can be challenging at this venue. But over the years, this iconic venue, which is home to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL, has witnessed numerous high-scoring encounters, making rare instance of successful low-score defences.
With a few low-scoring encounters seen at this venue, disciplined bowling and smart field placements have occasionally led to unforgettable matches which have resulted in teams defending low totals. The lowest total defended on this turf remains one from the IPL, where the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) defended 106/2 in IPL 2013 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
RCB keep playoff hopes alive with 24-run win over CSK in rain-marred game
In the 70th game of IPL 2013, CSK won the toss and invited the home team to bat first. The then skipper of the side, Virat Kohli played a blitz knock of unbeaten 56 off 29 deliveries to help the side post 106/2 in their 8 overs in a rain-marred game. In reply, CSK fought bravely with their star-studded lineup but could only get 82/6 in the 8 overs. Murali Vijay was the highest scorer for them that night, but could not help them finish over the line. With this, RCB only one edged over CSK, but also kept their playoff hopes alive, thus ticking a box.
