RCB 185-3 (20 ovs) vs Pune | SCORECARD

Ishant to bowl the 19th over, he has struggled to keep the runs in ODIs and T20s for India at the international level.

He starts with a wide followed by a dot ball to Kohli. The RCB captain then paddles the next ball over short fine leg for a four before he smashes the next over the off-side for another boundary.

Kohli then picks one before AB has a wild swing but fails to make connection, the only fourth dot ball for the South African out of a total of 44.

He makes up for that blip as he whacks the last ball over square leg for a six as Ishant ends up giving away 16 runs in his final over to finish with expensive figures of 47 runs in four overs.

Medium pacer Perera to bowl the final over. It is flowing boundaries at the moment as Kohli slaps the first ball square on the off-side for a four to bring up the 150-run stand for the second wicket.

He looks to bowl the next one away from Kohli but ends up bowling a wide on the off-side.

Kohli walks a long way across to the second ball and sweeps the low full toss behind square on the leg side for a four, he has smashed 27 runs from his last 10 balls.

However, he ends up hitting the third ball straight into the hands of the fielder at deep midwicket.

Kohli walks back after a good innings of 80 from 63 balls, having hit seven fours and two sixes, after he had put a huge partnership of 155 runs from 95 balls for the second wicket.

Perera makes it two in two as AB mishits it on the off-side and is caught by Ankit, who manages to hold on this time around.

AB has gone back after a smashing knock of 83 from 46 balls, which was laced with six fours and four sixes.

Shane Watson gets one from the fifth ball before Sarfaraz Khan gets two runs from the last ball.

RCB finish on a huge 185 for three in their 20 overs, having smashed 57 runs in the last five overs for the loss of two wickets.

Perera was Pune's best bowler, taking three for 34 in his four overs and was the only wicket-taker for the hosts.

Ravi Ashwin didn't complete his quota despite bowling well as he got just three overs and so did Bhatia.

RCB will fancy their chances of defending this total, having got past the 180-run mark, but Pune have a strong batting line-up and are capable of getting the runs if their top order gets going.
