Early in the innings, Kohli (29 runs) and Padikkal (40 runs) attempted to steer the innings forward. Despite posting a healthy score during the powerplay, the team came under pressure as they lost wickets in quick succession during the middle overs. Bowlers such as Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, and Holder played pivotal roles by taking wickets at crucial moments to keep RCB in check.

While chasing the target, Gill provided Gujarat with a flying start, playing an aggressive innings. Scoring runs through a flurry of boundaries and sixes within a single over, he attempted to swing the momentum of the match in his team's favor. However, Bhuvneshwar delivered a brilliant spell of bowling to dismiss Gill, thereby rekindling hopes for RCB. Buttler also played aggressively, helping to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

Although the Gujarat team faced some difficulties after losing a few wickets in the middle overs, Tewatia played an unbeaten knock of 27 runs, guiding the team toward victory. With valuable support from Holder, Gujarat comfortably reached the target and secured a six-wicket win. Although Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three wickets and raised hopes for RCB, the Gujarat team clinched the match as the other bowlers failed to provide support. With this victory, the Gujarat team further consolidated its position in the points table.
