RR vs RCB: We understood what was needed, executed well, says Wayne Parnell

NEW DELHI: After two losses in a row, Royal Challengers Bangalore bounced back in style and registered a resounding 112-run win over Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

RCB pacer and Man of the Match pacer Wayne Parnell, who bagged 3/10, said that RCB knew what was needed and they executed the plans well.

"I think credit goes to our batters. That last over really brought momentum to our side. We understood what was needed and to execute the way we did was really pleasing. All of our batters had the same message - take the pace of it and hit the stumps," Parnell said after the match.

Parnell noted that the pitch in Jaipur was comparable to that in Paarl in South Africa. He went on to say that he tried to bowl at the stumps, forcing RR batters to venture across the line.

"To win by a big margin is also crucial for us. It (Jaipur pitch) was a similar surface to back in Paarl. I was trying to bowl at the stumps and make the batters go across the line. It is a long tournament, niggles occur, and it is about being switched on every single day," Parnell added.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will next face SunRisers Hyderabad on Thursday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
