RCB 120-1 (11 ovs) vs Sunrisers 208-7 | Scorecard

Mustafizur is called back into the attack. This time it is Kohli, who comes down the track and hits a full toss through the covers for a four. The RCB captain makes room and comes down again before he lofts the next ball straight down the ground and gets enough elevation and distance to get it over long-off for a six.

Fizz bowls a good bouncer to Gayle, who opts to sway out of the way before taking a quiet single.

12 runs from the over as RCB reach 112 for no loss in 10 overs, with Gayle on 75 from 36 balls and Kohli on 31 from 24 balls. They need another 97 runs from the remaining 10 overs for victory with all 10 wickets in hand.

Kohli gets a thick outside edge off Cutting as Mustafizur at short thirdman makes a good effort but fails to hold on.

However, Cutting strikes with the next ball and gets the wicket of the dangerman Gayle. The left-hander was done in by the slower ball as he looks to heave it across the line but ends up getting a thick outside edge to be caught at thirdman fence.

Gayle, though, has put RCB in the driver's seat courtesy of his blazing innings of 76 from 38 balls, having hit four fours and eight sixes, putting on 114 runs for the opening wicket from just 63 balls.
