RCB In Finals After De Villiers Act as Rescuer.

Tumbling Wickets,A high but not out-of-reach asking rate. An atypically dry and grippy pitch provided the conditions for a situation,usually more common in 50-overs cricket than in T20- to arise in the first Qualifier of IPL 2016. AB De Villiers was the specialist batsman,and when Iqbal Abdullah joined him in the 10th over of Royal Challengers Banglore's chase of 159,they needed 91 to win off 62 balls with four wickets in hand.
Royal Challenger's lost Virat Kohli for a duck and slipped to 29 for 5. Then, when Ravindra Jadeja had Stuart Binny  lbw sweeping -though replays showed ball hitting pad marginally outside off stumps- they were 68 for 6. From here AB and Abdullah took Royal Challenger's to the win and they qualify for the finals.
