RCB 112-2 (13 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard


RCB nearly lose another wicket in the next over. Kohli taps the first ball to point and sets off for a quick single but McCullum is struggling to make his crease. However, Duminy at point misses the direct hit with McCullum (6 from 9 balls) way out of his crease to give the veteran a lifeline.

McCullum then chips down the track as Pandya bowls a high full toss which goes off the edge and hits the thirdman boundary for a six. That is ruled a no-ball for height as RCB are gifted a free hit.

McCullum makes most of the free hit as he shuffles across and scoops the full toss straight back over the wicketkeeper for another six, with Hardik giving away 14 runs from his first two deliveries.

McCullum comes down and has another swing but is beaten before he smashes the next over the covers for a four.

Two singles from the last two balls with Hardik going for 20 in his first over to take the total to 82 for two in 10 overs.

Krunal comes back into the attack. The first ball is pitched up as Kohli brings out his trademark cover drive for a boundary followed by two runs on the leg side.

Three more singles as Krunal concedes nine from his third over.

In the next over, Kohli smashes Markande's first ball for a four before he takes one.

McCullum then takes over as he smashes the leg-spinner for back to boundaries, sweeping him twice through midwicket as RCB go past the 100-run mark, in the 12th over.

Kohli comes down the track and lofts Krunal over long-on for a six before he takes one and McCullum takes one off the last ball.

Krunal goes for eight in his final over to finish with 24 runs from four overs.

RCB are well placed on 112 for two in 13 overs, with McCullum on 33 from 20 balls and Kohli on 23 from 15 balls.
