Here are the Live Score and Updates from IPL 2023 match between RCB and GT, straight from Bengaluru:







  • 21:21 (IST)

    RCB vs GT Live: Back-to-back FOURS!

    Michael Bracewell hit two fours to Mohit Sharma on consecutive deliveries of the latter’s first over. This is good intent from RCB as anything below 200 on this surface is hard to defend. They need to keep going.

    RCB 104/3 (11)

  • 21:15 (IST)

    RCB vs GT Live: Noor Ahmad strikes again!

    9.2 – Wide ball and a wicket for Noor Ahmad! The delivery has to be bowled again but Noor Ahmad has got the wicket of Mahipal Loror on it. He saw the batter coming down the track and fired the ball towards leg and got him stumped out. RCB are in real trouble now.

    RCB 93/3 (10)

  • 21:10 (IST)

    RCB vs GT Live: WICKET!

    8.2 – Rashid Khan has got the big wicket of Glenn Maxwell. The batter had hit a six and a four in the first four balls he faced in this game and was looking really dangerous but Rashid has given GT some reprieve. 

  • 21:03 (IST)

    RCB vs GT Live: Du Plessis is gone!

    7.1 – Noor Ahmad has got the wicket of Faf du Plessis. The RCB captain got an inside edge on the ball that hit the right pad of GT wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha and went into the hands of slip fielder Rahul Tewatia. Du Plessis fell for 28 runs off 19 balls.

    RCB 79/1 (8) 

  • 21:00 (IST)

  • 20:49 (IST)

    RCB vs GT Live: 50 up for RCB!

    This is brilliant start for RCB, considering they had scored only 10 runs in the first two overs. Once the duo of Kohli and du Plessis got settled, they went out all guns blazing. Du Plessis started the attack and Kohli followed it with similar masterclass. RCB have crossed 50 runs in five overs that too without losing any wicket.

    RCB 53/0 (5) 

  • 20:45 (IST)

  • 20:38 (IST)

    RCB vs GT Live: Hat-trick of FOURS!

    2.4 – Faf du Plessis has decided to change gears. He danced down the track on the bowling of Mohammed Shami and slammed a four over mid-off before he timed better next time to hit another four. The third four came off a mishit, but RCB won’t mind it.

    RCB 26/0 (3)

  • 20:36 (IST)
