- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Saha makes room, Swapnil slows the pace down and has him caught at short third! Saham pre-meditated, made room to open up the off side. He tried to lift the length ball at the stumps over cover but it seemed to keep drifting away from the middle of his bat. One hand came off and he plinked it right up. Dolly for the fielder. RCB strike with spin first up yet again 6/16.4 Green takes a skimmer at long-on, Maxwell takes out Gill in his first over! His veins are popping as he thunders about in celebration. Length ball, drifting away on a wide line, did sit up and Gill tried to forehand-smash it straight. The connection was good, the trajectory was flat. Green charged to the left, tumbled across and held on with both hands. The pace was 94ks if I looked at it right 45/214.1 Reverse-swings at 140ks to castle Shahrukh. Not a yorker but very full, very little Shahrukh could've done about it. He tried whipping it through midwicket but got nothing on it and fell over. Middle and off were rattled. As sexy as it gets with pace bowling. 131/3Extras11 (lb 1, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL200/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Wriddhiman Saha, 0.6 ov), 2-45 (Shubman Gill, 6.4 ov), 3-131 (M Shahrukh Khan, 14.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 taken at deep midwicket! This seemed like a variation from Sai, who also went quicker. The release seemed like that of a wrong 'un for a moment. Anyway, Sai saw du Plessis back away a little, and bowled on a short of a length while angling it into middle and leg. Du Plessis went pulling hard and through the line, but found the man in the deep, who had to move a few steps to his left to take that 40/1Extras12 (b 4, lb 4, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL206/1 (16 Overs, RR: 12.87)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Faf du Plessis, 3.5 ov)
