Pune 63-2 (9 ovs) vs RCB | Scorecard

Left-arm pacer Sreenath Aravind comes into the attack after two good overs with the new ball by Milne.

Tripathi goes after him rightaway as he lofts the first ball straight back over the bowler's head for a six. But Aravind makes a good comeback as he concedes just a single in the rest of the over.

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack in place of Badree, who bowled a superb first spell of one for 11 in two overs.

He starts with a slightly wide delivery as Tripathi crashes it through the covers for a four. He looks to the sweep the next ball and is nearly struck in front but somehow gets a glove to survive the LBW shout.

Tripathi continues his positive start as he comes down the track and lofts Chahal over mid-on for the second four of the over as the leg-spinner goes for 12 in his first over.

Left-arm spinner Pawan Negi comes from the other end. Smith and Tripathi collects singles and twos and get eight from the over without taking any risks.

Medium pacer Stuart Binny comes into the attack as RCB juggle their bowlers around. Tripathi plays a nice drive through the covers for a couple and then gets one followed by three more singles before Tripathi is beaten off the last ball as he looks to steer it fine.

Negi makes the breakthrough with the key wicket of the in-form Tripathi, who is caught behind for a good innings of 37 from 28 balls.

Manoj Tiwary, promoted to No. 4, gets off the mark with a boundary as he sweeps it fine on the leg side followed by a single.
