In response, the Bengaluru Blasters struggled to keep up with the required run rate. LR Chethan top-scored with 51 runs off 32 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to make a significant impact. Kranthi-Kumar‘s unbeaten knock of 39 runs provided some resistance, but the Warriors’ bowlers, particularly Vidhyadhar Patil who claimed 3 wickets for 19 runs, kept the pressure on throughout the innings.
