Gujarat 95-2 (9 ovs) vs RCB 213-2 | Scorecard

Negi comes back as McCullum swings the first ball behind square on the leg side for a six. The next ball is short as the Gujarat opener pulls it over midwicket for a four as the hosts continue their aggressive approach despite losing their captain.

Aaron Finch also wasting no time to get his eye in. He lofts Chahal over midwicket for a six to get off the mark in some style from the second ball he faces.

Two singles from the next two balls before Chahal beats Finch with one turns enough to go past the edge as the right-hander has a big swing.

Pacer Adam Milne comes into the attack. He starts with two wides before Finch swings the fourth ball on the leg side for a four to get 10 runs from the over.

Shane Watson comes into the attack. Three singles from the first three balls before McCullum lofts it straight down the ground for a six followed by two more singles to get 11 from the over.

Milne comes under attack from McCullum in the next over. He hits a full toss over mid-off for a four before chopping a short ball over the off-side for a six to keep Gujarat's hopes alive.

Gujarat are 90 for two in nine overs, needing another 123 runs from 11 overs for victory. They need another 119 runs from 11 overs for victory at an asking rate of 10.81, slightly more than their current run rate.

Their hopes largely rest on McCullum, who has so far smashed his way to 46 from 28 balls, while Finch has made 19 from 14 balls.
