    End of over 16 ( 8 Runs )

    RCB 149/5

    Romario Shepherd* 14(8)

    Tim David 14(8)

    15.1

    George Linde to Romario Shepherd

    4

    FOUR, Four!

    Possibly the last over of the match, then. George Linde to bowl.

    14.6

    Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd

    1

    1 run, Full and straight, gets it full enough, does Avesh. Shepherd drives it to long off for a single. Still, 2 needed for the win for RCB.

    14.5

    Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd

    6

    SIX, SIX! Shepherd wants to end proceedings in this over itself. Slower ball, on a length and around off, Romario Shepherd reads it early, waits for it and powers it across and over wide long on for a biggie. Just 3 needed for the win now.

    14.4

    Avesh Khan to Tim David

    1

    1 run, Pitched fuller on middle, David clears the front leg but fails to get under the ball and drills it down to long off for just one more.

    14.3

    Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd

    1

    1 run, Back of a length and outside off, Shepherd glides the ball off the face of the ball and behind point for a single.

    14.2

    Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd

    0

    no run, Oh, a bit of yes and no, but the fumble from the fielder lets the batters off the hook again. Good length on off, Shepherd nudges it to the right of point and looks for the single. Abdul Samad moves to his right but fails to pick up the ball cleanly and the batters eventually backtrack and not go for the single.

    End of over 15 ( 0 Runs )

    RCB 136/5

    Romario Shepherd* 2(3)

    Tim David 13(7)

    14.1

    Avesh Khan to Romario Shepherd

    0

    no run, On a good length, around off, slanting it in. Shepherd gets forward and drives it towards mid off.

    13.6

    Digvesh Singh to Tim David

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! Misfield now from Linde. Flicks off the fingers, and lands it short, outside off. Tim David rocks back and executes the cut shot to perfection through the point gap. George Linde runs across to his left from deep cover. Puts in a dive, gets his hands on the ball, but ends up parrying it to the ropes behind.

    13.5

    Digvesh Singh to Tim David

    2

    2 runs, IN THE AIR... PUT DOWN! A top effort, goes in vain. Short ball on middle stump. David rocks back and goes for a big heave towards cow corner, but mistimes and does not have the distance or the power to clear the ropes. Abdul Samad moves to his left from deep mid-wicket, takes the catch while running, but then realises he is going beyond the ropes, so he lobs it up casually towards Markram converging from long on. The timing between the two fielders is completely off, almost as if they’re in different time zones. Markram is nowhere near in a position to complete it as Samad runs over the ropes. Two taken.

    13.4

    Digvesh Singh to Tim David

    6

    SIX, SIX! Hit flat and clean! Overpitched and around off, Tim David reads the googly nicely, gets under it and pumps it behind long off for a cracking six.

    13.3

    Digvesh Singh to Tim David

    0

    no run, Slows it up and slides it onto the pads. David gets on the front foot to push it straight back, but inside edges onto the pads.

    13.2

    Digvesh Singh to Tim David

    0

    no run, Pushed full and on leg, clipped gently to mid-wicket.

    End of over 14 ( 2 Runs )

    RCB 124/5

    Romario Shepherd* 2(2)

    Tim David 1(2)

    13.1

    Digvesh Singh to Romario Shepherd

    1

    1 run, The googly at 89.4 kph, around off and short. Romario Shepherd camps back and punches it through the vacant cover region for a single.

    12.6

    Prince Yadav to Tim David

    0

    no run, Low full toss, on off, David drives it straight to short cover.

    12.5

    Prince Yadav to Romario Shepherd

    1

    1 run, Back of a length and on the pads. Shepherd rides the bounce and steers it to the deep square leg region for a single.

    Another one bites the dust, and Romario Shepherd walks out to bat at number 7.

    12.4

    Prince Yadav to Jitesh Sharma

    W

    out, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Double strike by Prince as Jitesh bites the dust. Is there any twist left? Back of a length on a fourth stump line, jagging back in. Jitesh gets half forward and swings hard to go big down the ground, but only manages a faint outside edge. Mukul Choudhary gathers it safely in his gloves, goes up in an appeal instantly, joined by Prince Yadav, and the umpire raises the finger. RCB are 122/5, chasing 147.

    3 wickets for Prince Yadav. Prince Yadav is on a roll.

    5 wickets down for RCB. Out batsman is Jitesh Sharma

    12.3

    Prince Yadav to Tim David

    1

    1 run, At the stumps, full, David works it to long on for a single.

    The next batter is Tim David.

    12.2

    Prince Yadav to Rajat Patidar

    W

    out, OUT! STRAIGHT UP THE CHIMNEY AND TAKEN! An enterprising knock from Patidar comes to an end. Spears it full and on the stumps, does Prince. Rajat Patidar clears the front leg and looks to dump it behind deep mid-wicket, but only manages to get a thick top edge. The ball spoons high up in the night sky and swirls while descending. Digvesh Singh calls for his catch, moves to his right from cover and settles under it to take a fine catch. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 121/4, needing only 26 runs from 46 balls.

    End of over 13 ( 12 Runs )

    RCB 121/3

    Rajat Patidar* 27(12)

    Jitesh Sharma 23(8)

    12.1

    Prince Yadav to Rajat Patidar

    6

    SIX, SIX! Played with ease and at will! Prince fires it full in length, just outside off. Patidar stays put, and just lets his hands through the shot. Launches it over wide long off fence for half a dozen runs.

    11.6

    Digvesh Singh to Jitesh Sharma

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! Digvesh is taken to the cleaners! Short and wide, Jitesh Sharma picks the length nicely, goes deep in the crease and cuts it late behind point, beating Mitchell Marsh to his left in the deep for another boundary. 23 runs from this over. A massive one for the hosts.

    11.5

    Digvesh Singh to Jitesh Sharma

    6

    SIX, SIX! Jitesh in a hurry now! Digvesh serves it full and on off. Jitesh Sharma again nails the inside out shot over deep extra cover for a comfortable six more runs.

    11.4

    Digvesh Singh to Jitesh Sharma

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! Placed to perfection! Not that full and not too short either, somewhere in-between. Jitesh Sharma drops down to one knee and sweeps it behind square on the leg side for four more runs.

    11.3

    Digvesh Singh to Jitesh Sharma

    6

    SIX, SIX! Just over! Pitched full and around off. Jitesh Sharma takes the front foot forward, and lofts it inside out over the extra cover region. Himmat Singh, just for a moment, feels he is in the game, but sees the ball sail over his head. This is the 400th six in this season of the IPL.

    100 runs for RCB

    11.2

    Digvesh Singh to Jitesh Sharma

    2

    2 runs, Short again, outside off. Jitesh rocks back and punches it wide of cover. Mitchell Marsh runs to his left from deep point and fumbles to pick it up cleanly. Two taken.

    End of over 12 ( 2 Runs )

    RCB 93/3

    Rajat Patidar* 21(11)

    Jitesh Sharma 1(3)

    11.1

    Digvesh Singh to Rajat Patidar

    1

    1 run, Drops it short, on the stumps. Patidar camps back and eases it down to long on for an easy run.

    10.6

    Avesh Khan to Rajat Patidar

    1

    1 run, Hard length, on leg, Patidar knocks it off the back foot through wide mid on for a single. RCB need 55 runs from 54 balls.

    10.5

    Avesh Khan to Rajat Patidar

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! Easily done! Short of a good length, outside off, enough width to work with. Rajat Patidar uses the pace, opens the face of the bat and cuts it late, between and over the keeper and the short third fielder for a boundary.

    10.4

    Avesh Khan to Jitesh Sharma

    1

    1 run, Hits the good length, outside off, Jitesh cuts it uppishly over point for a single.

    10.3

    Avesh Khan to Jitesh Sharma

    0

    no run, Hard length, over off. Jitesh lets the ball come and dabs it in front of point with soft hands.

    10.2

    Avesh Khan to Jitesh Sharma

    0

    no run, Back of a length, on off, Sharma rides the bounce and eases it to the point region.

    Jitesh Sharma is sent up the order, at number 4.

    End of over 11 ( 0 Runs )

    RCB 86/3

    Virat Kohli* 49(34)

    Rajat Patidar 15(8)

    10.1

    Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli

    W

    out, OUT! TAKEN EASILY! Kohli departs two short of his half century. Nonetheless, a well-compiled knock. Full length around the fourth stump at 133.1 kph, shaping back in a touch. Kohli leans into it, looking to loft it straight over the bowler, but the bat turns in his hands and he miscues it off the inner half. In fact, Kohli didn't complete his follow-through after hitting the shot. The ball goes high towards long on, where Pooran settles under it and completes a safe catch. Avesh has two to his name. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 86/3, chasing 147 runs.

    3 wickets down for RCB. Out batsman is Virat Kohli

    Halfway reached. RCB in a very comfortable position. They need 61 runs from 60 balls, with 8 wickets in hand. Switch of ends for Avesh Khan. 2-0-8-1 so far. He replaces Shami.

    9.6

    George Linde to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Slightly short on middle, pulled down to long on for a single. RCB are 86/2 after 10 overs, in a chase of 147 runs.

    9.5

    George Linde to Virat Kohli

    0

    no run, Fuller this time, fired in a bit and just outside off. Kohli camps back and taps it down to point.

    9.4

    George Linde to Rajat Patidar

    1

    1 run, Linde goes quicker and bangs it into the pitch, taking a leaf out of Krunal Pandya's book, perhaps. This is short and around off, Patidar clubs it without much timing over mid off and gets a single.

    9.3

    George Linde to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Flighted this time, full and outside off, caressed through the cover region for another single.

    9.2

    George Linde to Rajat Patidar

    1

    1 run, Flatter on off, stays a tad low, Patidar hops back and cuts it to the right of deep point for one.

    End of over 10 ( 2 Runs )

    RCB 82/2

    Virat Kohli* 47(30)

    Rajat Patidar 13(6)

    9.1

    George Linde to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Full on middle, Kohli leans on and drives it along the turf to long off for a single.

    George Linde, LSG's impact sub, is brought into the attack now, replacing Avesh Khan.

    8.6

    Mohammad Shami to Rajat Patidar

    0

    no run, Pitched up fuller on off and middle, punched back straight to the bowler with the full face of the bat.

    8.5

    Mohammad Shami to Rajat Patidar

    6

    SIX, SIX! It's been nearly impossible to tie down Rajat Patidar this season. Shami goes short and directs it in towards the batter's face. However, Patidar rides the bounce well, uses those quick hands and clobbers the pull shot over backward square leg for another biggie. This is Patidar's 20th six this season, the most by any batter so far (shown on the on-air graphic).

    8.4

    Mohammad Shami to Rajat Patidar

    6

    SIX, SIX! Picked up and dispatched. Slower ball, just too full, though. Patidar waits well before laying into the lofted shot and launching it over long on for a biggie.

    8.3

    Mohammad Shami to Rajat Patidar

    0

    no run, Fuller this time, on middle, Patidar punches it across to short mid-wicket.

    8.2

    Mohammad Shami to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Shortish length, on the pads, nudged down through backward square leg for one.

    End of over 9 ( 0 Runs )

    RCB 68/2

    Virat Kohli* 45(28)

    Rajat Patidar 1(2)

    8.1

    Mohammad Shami to Virat Kohli

    0

    no run, That surprised Kohli. A quick bumper from Shami, actually, it is a cross-seamer as well and the ball climbs up quickly. Kohli looks to pull but is well beaten.

    Mohammad Shami (2-0-17-0) returns into the attack, replacing Digvesh Singh.

    7.6

    Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Slower ball, wide outside off, Kohli has to wait for it before he reaches out and taps it in front of point for just a single.

    7.5

    Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli

    0

    no run, Back of a length and outside off, Kohli looks to slap it through covers, but the ball doesn't quite come onto the bat, and Kohli chops it into the turf.

    7.4

    Avesh Khan to Rajat Patidar

    1

    1 run, Straighter in line this time, worked away on the leg side for a single.

    7.3

    Avesh Khan to Rajat Patidar

    0

    no run, Nicely bowled. Good length in the channel, seams away after pitching as well. Rajat Patidar plays inside the line of the ball and gets beaten past the outside edge.

    Out goes Padikkal and in walks the new batter. It is the RCB skipper, Rajat Patidar, in at number 4.

    7.2

    Avesh Khan to Devdutt Padikkal

    W

    out, OUT! CAUGHT! A well-directed short ball from Avesh Khan and the 57-run stand is broken. Avesh comes around the wicket and hammers the shorter length, angling the ball into the body of the batter. Devdutt Padikkal tries to rock back and pull but the ball gets big on him and he forces the pull shot aerially over square leg. The ball goes straight to the substitute fielder, Himmat Singh, at deep square leg, and he makes no mistake. 81 more needed off 76 balls.

    End of over 8 ( 2 Runs )

    RCB 66/1

    Virat Kohli* 44(25)

    Devdutt Padikkal 10(10)

    7.1

    Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Back of a length from Avesh, following the batter towards the leg side. Kohli gets cramped for room as he tries to come forward and plays it through mid on for one.

    6.6

    Digvesh Singh to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Flatter one on off and middle, swatted down to long on, off the back foot and for just another single.

    6.5

    Digvesh Singh to Devdutt Padikkal

    1

    1 run, Full and on leg stump, Padikkal goes on one knee, sweeping it towards deep backward square leg for a run.

    6.4

    Digvesh Singh to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, In and around off, nudged away with soft hands and past point for a run.

    6.3

    Digvesh Singh to Virat Kohli

    0

    no run, Oh, a better throw and Kohli was a goner! Fuller one on off, Kohli blocks it to the left of cover and sets off for the single. Padikkal sends him back but VK is almost halfway down the track when he turns back. Nicholas Pooran is the one who gets to the ball but fires in a wide throw at the keeper's end as Kohli dives in to safety.

    6.2

    Digvesh Singh to Devdutt Padikkal

    1

    1 run, Quicker through the air, angled across off, Padikkal backs away and smacks it through the point region for one more.

    End of over 7 ( 2 Runs )

    RCB 61/1

    Virat Kohli* 41(21)

    Devdutt Padikkal 8(8)

    6.1

    Digvesh Singh to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Dropped shorter and angled into the batter, Kohli rocks back to pull but snatches at it and mistimes it through square leg for a single.

    STRATEGIC BREAK! RCB moving at exactly 10 runs per over, in a modest chase of 147. Just shows how commanding they have been through and through. Virat Kohli has displayed the ideal way to play on a surface where the ball is staying low or holding on the surface. He has waited on the ball, and to be fair, has been offered a bit of generosity by the LSG bowlers who have been wayward. With just 87 runs needed in 84 balls, the Super Giants need to keep picking wickets or else this will be over a lot sooner than one expects. Digvesh Singh will bowl after the break. 

    5.6

    Avesh Khan to Devdutt Padikkal

    0

    no run, A tidy start from Avesh, 5 off his first over and RCB are 60/1 at the end of the Powerplay. Pace off delivery, dug in short and just outside off, Padikkal looks to pull but is undone by the lack of pace.

    5.5

    Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Excellent running yet again. Fuller than a good length, on off and slides onto the bat. Kohli drives it to the cover fielder and scampers through for a run.

    5.4

    Avesh Khan to Devdutt Padikkal

    1

    1 run, Back of a length, outside off, nudged down to the right of backward point for an easy single. The 50-run stand is also up between these two.

    5.3

    Avesh Khan to Devdutt Padikkal

    0

    no run, Good-length delivery, angled into the off pole from around the wicket. Padikkal tucks it down to mid-wicket. Kohli is eager for the single which isn't there and DDP rightly sends him back.

    5.2

    Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Shorter this time, over middle, Kohli swivels back to pull it away towards deep square leg for a single.

    End of over 6 ( 4 Runs )

    RCB 57/1

    Virat Kohli* 38(18)

    Devdutt Padikkal 7(5)

    5.1

    Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli

    2

    2 runs, Another misfield and the batters pinch an extra run. Bowled back of a length and outside off, smacked down back past the bowler, but without much timing. Nicholas Pooran at mid off runs to his right and dives but fumbles the ball away and concedes the second run.

    A double bowling change? Yes. Avesh Khan comes in to bowl the last over of the Powerplay.

    4.6

    Digvesh Singh to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Around off, on a good length, Kohli punches the googly to the right of the mid off fielder and sprints for a single. 10 runs from the over, 27 from the last 2 overs for RCB.

    4.5

    Digvesh Singh to Virat Kohli

    0

    no run, The wrong'un, at 96.1 kph, on the stumps. Virat Kohli gets squared up and tucks it to the mid on region.

    4.4

    Digvesh Singh to Devdutt Padikkal

    1

    1 run, Length ball, on off, Padikkal hangs back and drags it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

    4.3

    Digvesh Singh to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Drags the length back, another googly on middle. Virat Kohli bunts it down to long on for an easy single.

    4.2

    Digvesh Singh to Virat Kohli

    6

    SIX, SIX! Goodness gracious, that is such a magnificent shot! Googly from Digvesh, on off, on a length. Virat Kohli picks the length and variation very early and camps back before pulling it into the deep mid-wicket region for a big six. 50 UP FOR RCB!

    30 runs for Virat Kohli

    50 runs for RCB

    End of over 5 ( 2 Runs )

    RCB 46/1

    Devdutt Padikkal* 6(4)

    Virat Kohli 28(13)

    4.1

    Digvesh Singh to Devdutt Padikkal

    1

    1 run, A drag-downer to start with, on leg. Devdutt pulls it on the bounce to square leg, where Prince Yadav fumbles a bit and allows a single.

    Virat Kohli looks in sublime touch, and RCB have amassed 32 runs in the last 2 overs. Maybe it's time for a bowling change for LSG. Yes, it sure is, as Digvesh Singh has now been handed the ball.

    3.6

    Prince Yadav to Virat Kohli

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! Not sure if he timed well, but still a calculated shot over the inner ring. Full now, outside off at 137.8 kph. Virat Kohli comes walking down the track and lofts it over the cover fielder and it races away to the fence for four more runs. Four number six for Kohli so far. 17 runs off the over. 

    3.6

    Prince Yadav to Virat Kohli

    1wd

    wide, 1 run, WIDE! Down leg, straightish delivery, on a length. Kohli misses the flick shot.

    3.5

    Prince Yadav to Virat Kohli

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! Helped away! Loosener from Prince. Short and at the ribs of the batter. Virat Kohli gets inside the line, uses the pace and pulls it to the left of the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. Virat was onto it in a flash.

    3.4

    Prince Yadav to Virat Kohli

    0

    no run, Slightly pitched up, on off, nips back in a bit. Kohli gets well forward and blocks it off.

    3.3

    Prince Yadav to Virat Kohli

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! Right out of the coach's manual! Short of a good length, outside off. Virat Kohli uses the width, rises on the toes and knocks it with pure timing over the point fielder for another boundary. Kohli moves to 20 off 10.

    3.2

    Prince Yadav to Virat Kohli

    0

    no run, Misses this time around. A slight appeal for caught behind, but only the keeper, Mukul Choudhary, is interested. Back of a length and it stops on the surface, on leg. Virat Kohli is tucked up for room but goes for the pull shot. It stays a tad low and beats the inside edge.

    End of over 4 ( 8 Runs )

    RCB 32/1

    Virat Kohli* 16(8)

    Devdutt Padikkal 5(3)

    3.1

    Prince Yadav to Virat Kohli

    4

    FOUR, FOUR! Into the gap and in complete control! Way too short by Prince, on top of middle. Kohli takes a baby-step in front, and pulls it over mid-wicket for a cracking four.

    2.6

    Mohammad Shami to Virat Kohli

    1

    1 run, Almost a yorker, on the toes, Kohli flicks it behind square on the leg side for a single. A very profitable over for the Royal Challengers. 15 runs from it.

    2.5

    Mohammad Shami to Devdutt Padikkal

    1

    1 run, Around the stump now. Hits the length hard, outside off, shaping away at 142.3 kph. Devdutt Padikkal camps back and cuts it to Linde at deep backward point for a run.

    2.4

    Mohammad Shami to Virat Kohli

    Mohammad Shami to Virat Kohli

    FOUR, FOUR! All class! That's a Kohli special which gets the crowd go bonkers. Hard length and outside off. Virat Kohli shows patience for the ball to come at him, rides the bounce and slaps it over the wide cover fielder for a cracking boundary.

    Mohammad Shami to Virat Kohli

    FOUR, FOUR! Kohli getting a move on! Much fuller than the previous ball, on off, Virat stays in the crease, brings his wrists in play and whips it across to the deep square leg region. George Linde rushes across to his left, slides to flick the ball back in, but his knee gets stuck in the outfield and the ball evades him into the fence.

    End of over 3 ( 8 Runs )

    FOUR, FOUR! Elegance personified! A little bit fuller, swinging in from middle to leg. Devdutt Padikkal flicks it off the pads to deep backward square leg for a boundary to get off the mark.

    Just the start LSG would have wanted with the ball after the first innings. Devdutt Padikkal is in early at number 3.

    out, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Prince Yadav continues to impress this season and knocks Salt's off pole. Hits the deck hard, around off and it skids through the surface, nipping in a touch too. Salt is rushed on the back foot, trying to play the pull shot but misses it behind, and the off pole goes cartwheeling. RCB are 9/1, chasing a target of 147 runs.

    1 run, Length delivery outside off, this is guided with an open bat face to deep backward point for a single.

    A bit of drama to end the first over of the chase. Harsha Bhogle on air has confirmed that Nicholas Pooran is the acting captain for LSG right now. Also, it will be Prince Yadav to bowl from the other end.

    1 run, Oh, goodness me! This could have been terrible for RCB. An outgoing delivery, full and around off. Kohli presses forward and bunts it to the point region and is off for a single. He is more than halfway through but Salt is parked at the other end and sends him back on a late call. The fielder though, fumbles to collect the ball as it spins past him and eventually allows the batters to cross over.
