Boult to bowl the 19th. de Villiers steps across going wide down the off stump before getting down on one knee playing a sweep shot and sending the 2nd ball over backward square leg for a SIX. de Grandhomme picks up a single to level the scores and bring de Villiers on strike. de Villiers ends the innings in style sending the ball down long off with a mighty swing of his bat for a SIX.
What a well-orchestrated run chase this has been by RCB.
Harshal Patel back into the attack. Big shout for lbw on the first delivery, Sarfaraz misses the low full toss that crashes onto his pads, Umpire says no but DD go for the review, the ball was missing the leg stump and they lose their review. Sarfaraz plays a good lofted shot over mid-off on the next ball for a FOUR. He then follows this up with a brilliant late cut on the 3rd ball, using the pace to send the ball to deep backward point for FOUR more. CAUGHT! Sarfaraz extends his bat facing upwards to scoop the ball back over the keeper’s head, but Iyer has Shaw placed there who runs quickly to his right and almost drops it before finally latching onto the ball. 14 runs and a wicket come off the over.
RCB need 10 runs from 12 balls to win.
Boult comes back into the attack with a bang! Sends in a good length delivery which Mandeep tries to play across the line, he misses the ball completely as it crashes into the stumps. The batsmen only pick up singles off the next 5 balls.
RCB need 24 from 18 balls to win.
Mishra to bowl his final over. Mandeep gets a big top edge as he tries to sweep the 2nd delivery but the ball lands safely in the midwicket area and the batsmen pick up a double. Good over by Mishra as he gives away just 6 runs off it.
Dala back into the attack. Mandeep picks up the shorter length delivery and pulls it over long leg for a SIX. Dala counters back with two dot balls. Mandeep slices the 5th delivery toward third man and picks up a double. 8 runs off that over.
RCB need 35 to win from 30 balls.
Mishra back into the attack. Kohli welcomes him by whipping the first ball to the cow corner for a FOUR. CAUGHT! Mishra has his revenge on the very next ball, tosses one up down the off stump luring Kohli into the shot, the ball finds some big spin as Kohli goes for the drive but only gets an edge on it and Pant collects it behind the stumps. Big breakthrough for DD. Can they pull themselves back into this game now.
RCB now need 43 from 36 balls to win.
Patel continues and Kohli welcomes him by whipping the first ball over midwicket for a SIX. That brings up the 100-run partnership between Kohli and de Villiers. de Villiers cuts the 4th ball past the man in the circle for a FOUR at backward point. He then brings up his fifty sending the very next slower ball high over long on for a SIX. What an over for RCB, 19 runs come off it.
