RCB 81-2

McCoy removes du Plessis! Bangalore captain departs after scoring a sedate 25.

Patidar carrying from where he left off in Qualifier-1! Short from McCoy and the RCB batter has a go at it with plenty of power. He gets a thick outside edge and it flies over Ashwin, who was stationed at short third man. Four runs!

RCB 78/1

Huge appeal from Ashwin! Rajasthan decide to go upstairs but ball tracking shows the ball was going down the leg side.

Patidar clips it away to deep mid-wicket for a single on the last delivery. Just five off the over 

RCB 71/1

Quicker delivery from Chahal and Patidar pushes it towards the fielder at long-on. Just a single to end the 11-run over... and umpire signals for a time-out!

Incredible power from Patidar! He hits a 86m six over long on against Yuzvendra Chahal.

RCB 86/1

Ravichandran Ashwin is into the attack!

Tidy from Obed McCoy. The left-arm seamer gives away six runs in his first over.

Dropped! Riyan Parag drops Patidar at backward point! This could prove costly. Nine runs off Prasidh's over and it's the end of powerplay.

RCB 46/1

RCB 37/1

Sanju Samson never stood chance there! Early movement from Prasidh, who completely outfoxed Patidar. The ball beats the inside edge to race towards the boundary fence. End of the fourth over!

RCB 25/1

Two slips for Patidar... healthy edge against the short ball and it flies to third man for a boundary! Four more!

RCB 21/1

Scooped over cover-point! That would release some pressure, especially after the departure of someone like Kohli. It was well outside off and du Plessis hit it to perfection. First boundary for the Bangalore skipper!

RCB 17/1

Rajat Patidar has joined skipper du Plessis in the middle. Boult comes in to bowl his second over.
