RCB 110-6 (15 ovs) vs Gujarat 158 | Scorecard

Abdulla survives a huge appeal for caught behind against Bravo and rightly so. A tidy over from the West Indian, giving way just four runs to build up the pressure with 63 needed from six overs for victory.

Abdulla has a wild swing to a wide delivery from Dwayne Smith but fails to make connection. Immediately, captain Kohli signals from the dugout to Abdulla to quietly take the single and bring AB back on strike.

He takes one from the next ball before AB smashes the third ball straight down the ground pat mid-on for a four to race to his 50, from 31 balls.

AB has a wild swing at the next ball but fails to make proper connection and just about manages to clear Finch at long-off to get a six.

The South African swats at a short ball as Bravo makes a superb stop at long-on, running to his right to keep it down to one.

The gamble of bringing in part-timer Smith fails as he goes for 14 runs in his first  over with RCB reaching 110 for six in 15 overs, needing 49 from five overs for victory.
