Rajasthan 164-5 (20 ovs) vs RCB | Scorecard

Pacer Southee comes back into the attack. Four runs from the first four deliveries including a wide before Tripathi swings the fifth ball on the leg side where Kohli makes a diving stop to keep it down to two.

Tripathi manages just a single off the last ball as just six come from the 18th over.

Siraj, who bowled a superb final over in the previous game, to bowl the 19th over.

A single from the first ball before Klaasen makes room and carves the fast bowler over the thirdman region for a six.

He then shuffles across and scoops the next ball over short fine leg for another six.

Siraj tries the slower bouncer which Klaasen pulls to deep midwicket for two runs. He then beats Klaasen with a wide full delivery as the right-hander makes room but is unable to reach the ball.

Klaasen lofts the last ball down the ground but fails to make proper connection and is caught at long-off to perish for 32 from 21 balls.

Siraj went for 13 in his final over but still finished with good figures of one for 33 in four overs.

Southee to bowl the final over of the innings. The first ball is a yorker as Tripathi drives it down the ground for a single. Krishnappa Gowtham wastes no time in getting going as he pulls the slower bouncer over midwicket for a six to get off the mark in smashing fashion.

The next ball is fuller as Gowtham smashes it high over long-off for another six before he steals two runs off the next ball as Chahal takes his time to release the ball back to the keeper.

Southee then foxes Gowtham with the wide full delivery which he leaves alone thinking it to be a wide but it turns out to be the wrong decision.

He is beaten again off the next as Rajasthan look to steal a quick bye but Gowtham is run out at the non-striker's end to perish for a quickfire 14 from five balls.
