That's the end of the first innings, a superb bowling effort from the Capitals as they've restricted RCB to 175! It was a flying start from the RCB openers, and Phil Salt carried that momentum beautifully with a well-made 63. Tim David played a quick cameo, but once he departed, the Capitals clawed their way back brilliantly. From there on, it was all control and discipline, never letting the batters settle, squeezing the scoring, and finishing the innings firmly on top. Can RCB fight back with the ball, or will the Capitals cruise to a comfortable victory? Stay tuned, we'll be back in a few minutes to find out!
