McCullum brought up his half-century with a straight drive to fence.
McCullum took the attack to Royal Challengers Bangalore once Raina departed after giving a simple catch to Shane Watson at short fine leg.
McCullum along with Aaron Finch (19) forged a 66-run third wicket partnership which will hold crucial in their chase. The former ultimately got out on 72.
