Bangalore struggle after Gayle's early dismissal
May 22, 2014
Bangalore 36-1 (6 ovs) vs Kolkata 195-4 | Scorecard

Gambhir decides to continue with Morkel, who comes on to bowl his third over on the trot. He misses the first ball but lofts the next over mid-off for a four.

Takawale (7) gets a lifeline as he mistimes his lofted drive but Pandey clashes with ten Doeschate and drops the easy catch. The right-hander then steers the next ball over the slips for another four as 13 runs come from the over to take RCB to 30 for one in five overs.

Mystery spinner Sunil Narine is introduced. He starts with one on the pads which Takawale nudges fine on the leg side for a four.

Despite the boundary he concedes just six runs in that over as RCB reach 36 for one in six overs. They need 160 runs from 14 overs for victory at an asking rate of 11.42
