RCB 106-1 (12 ovs) vs Pune | SCORECARD

AB continues his positive approach as he crashes Bhatia through the covers for a four. He gets two runs from the fifth ball through the off-side for two runs to bring up the 50-run stand between the two RCB batsmen, for the third time in four games.

10 runs from the 10th over as RCB reach 79 for one at the halfway stage.

Leg-spinner Murugan Ashwin comes into the attack. AB brings out the sweep once again for a six over square leg as RCB make good progress in the middle overs.

In the same over, Kohli slaps it through the covers and looks set to get a boundary but Steven Smith running to his left at long-on pulls off an astonishing save to keep it down to two.

AB ends the over in the same style as he started it, with a huge six, pulling it a long way over long-on.

A horror start for Ashwin as he hit for 18 runs in his first over, forcing Dhoni to bring back his premier spinner Ravi Ashwin from the other end.

Five easy singles from the first five balls before AB smashes the last ball through the off-side for a four to race to his half-century in some style, from just 25 balls.
