RCB captain Faf du Plessis went on to say that the team had “no way to hide”.

“Our (batting performance) was much better and it was a proper T20 wicket. In the end it was just trying to get close but 280 was long. It was difficult. We tried a few things, we tried different things. There was no way Fast bowlers find it very difficult when your confidence is low, similar to batting angles, we need to make sure the run rate doesn’t drop off their hands after the powerplay and never give up (in run chases), ” explained Fife.

“It was good to see the game, from a bowling perspective, 30-40 runs was a bit too much. It’s important to get away and refresh your mind, it’s a mental game. Sometimes you feel like your head is going to explode .When you get back into the game, you have to give it your all,” he added.
