and moved to the 5th spot of the VIVO

Manish Pandey accompanied him but somewhere, de Villiers and Moeen Ali's knock
overshadowed it. The suspense only ended in the last over after Williamson fell
on the first ball, the match kept swinging in either direction and just when it
looked that Williamson's side was closer to seal the victory, RCB swung back
in, courtesy, the last two overs by Tim Southee and Mohammed Siraj.

Moeen Ali were back into the pavilion. Sarfaraz and Grandhomme played an

knock and Pandey accompanied him but they just fell short of a few runs.
