Dhawan changes gears as he hits the first two balls of the over for boundaries to bring up Hyderabad's 50.

Two balls later the left-hander smashes a wide full delivery through the covers for the third four of the over. Watson drops short again as Dhawan pulls him behind square on the leg side for the fourth boundary of the over before taking a single from the last ball to take Sunrisers to 59 for one in six overs.

Chahal restores normalcy for RCB as he bowls another quiet over, giving away just six singles.

Part-time off-spinner Travis Head comes into the attack. Three singles from the first three balls before Henriques chips down the track and lofts it straight down the ground for a six followed by two more singles to get 11 from the over.
