RCB WIN BY 6 WICKETS (D/L)
RCB 83-4 (5.5 ovs), D/L Target: 81 in 6 overs | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar to bowl the final over. Karthik paddles the first delivery for a single to fine leg as the right-hander is nearly run out attempting the second run but is sent back.

Kohli gets a full toss but hits it straight back at his partner who sets off for a quick run but ends up deflecting it back to the bowler, who completes an easy run out.

12 needed from 4 balls for victory.

Bhuvi bowls a perfect yorker but Kohli squeezes it past point for a four, that was an unbelievable shot!

He then shuffles across and steers it through the gap between thirdman and point for a four.

Kohli lofts the next ball down the ground as Warner takes the catch on the edge of the ropes but is unable to maintain his balance and falls over but has touched the ropes as he tried to deflect the ball in.

The umpires check the replays which confirm that Warner ran out of room and touched the rope while falling over and it is ruled a six.

Infact, Warner started celebrating before he had steadied himself and despite taking the catch lost his balance in the process of his fist pumping and ultimately tumbled over!

Kohli finishes unbeaten on a superb innings of 44 from 19 balls, having hit three fours and three sixes, to steer RCB to 83 for four as they win by six wickets with a ball to spare.

RCB jump to second in the table with 15 points from 13 matches, while Sunrisers are fourth with 14 points from the same number of matches.
