Faf du Plessis' 96 powered Royal Challengers Bangalore to 181/6 against Lucknow Super Giants in the 31st match of the IPL 2022 at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai.
On being asked to bat first, RCB had a horror start as Dushmantha Chameera removed both Anuj Rawat and Virat Kohli in the first over itself. Glenn Maxwell counter-attacked and scored 23 in 11 balls but got out in the sixth over as RCB finished the powerplay at 47/3.
