De Villiers, Parthiv rally RCB

May 19, 2018 18:24

RCB 55-1 (6 ovs) vs Rajasthan 164-5 | Scorecard

Archer comes under attack from AB de Villiers, who is looking to assert himself in the early overs and rally RCB after the wicket of Kohli.

He clips a short ball from Archer through square leg for a four and then slaps the fifth ball through the off-side for another boundary.

The fielder is moved to the off-side from midwicket and AB plays the last ball through that vacant region for the third four of the over.

14 runs from the over as Archer suffers with the new ball, conceding 28 runs in his first two overs.

Ben Laughlin comes into the attack. A single to Parthiv before AB punches the third ball down the ground past mid-on for a four. Parthiv swings hard at the last ball but gets a thick outside edge over the short thirdman fielder for another boundary.

Jaydev Unadkat comes into the attack. Samson at deep square leg nearly repeats the Trent Boult catch as he initially misjudges the catch after Parthiv pulls Unadkat. He has to backtrack and makes a one-handed effort but is unable to hold on and also gives away a four.

Parthiv then crashes the fifth delivery through the off-side for another boundary followed bye one.

Despite the early wicket, RCB have made a good start to race to 55 for one in six overs.

AB de Villiers has got off to a brisk start, scoring 21 from 12 balls, while Parthiv has stroked 29 from 15 balls.
