Gujarat 7-2 (2 ovs) vs RCB | Scorecard

Left-arm pacer Sreenath Aravind to open the bowling for hosts RCB. And up against him are the two most dangerous batsmen in world cricket - Aaron Finch and Brendon McCullum.

Finch defends the first two balls before he gets Gujarat off the mark with a leg bye. McCullum is watchful as he also takes a single off the last ball of the over to retain strike.

Spin from the other end as left-arm spinner Iqbal Abdulla is called into the attack to bowl the second over.

He strikes with his very first delivery, with the key wicket of McCullum. The Kiwi right-hander came down the track and looked to attack the spinner  but ended up holing out to AB de Villiers at long-off to fall for one.

Finch will not hold back despite the early wicket as he slashes at one but gets a thick edge which flies over Chris Gayle for a boundary.

Two balls later, Abdulla strikes again as Finch gets an inside edge and is caught by Gayle at first slip, for four.

A dream first over from Abdulla to leave Gujarat reeling on seven for two after two overs.
