RCB lose 5th wicket, Rajasthan on top

May 19, 2018 18:49

RCB 96-5 (12 ovs) vs Rajasthan 164-5 | Scorecard

AB punches Sodhi through the covers for two runs before he pulls a short ball through midwicket for a four to race to his fifty, from just 31 balls.

He takes a single off the next before new batsman Colin de Grandhomme also takes one on the off-side.

Rajasthan's tactics of employing spinners continues to reap dividends. Sodhi cripples RCB further with the wicket of de Grandhomme, who gets an edge and is caught by Rahane at slip for two.

RCB slip further as they are reduced to 96 for five in 12 overs, needing 69 from eight overs for victory. Their hopes now largely rest with AB, who is batting on 52 from 33 balls, but is not getting enough support from the other end.

The two spinners have done a splendid job for the hosts, picking up all the five wickets to fall so far.
