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

Rahul Tripathi hit an unbeaten half-century but Umesh Yadav's three wicket haul helped Royal Challengers Bangalore restrict Rajasthan Royals to 164 for five.

Opener Tripathi carried his bat through with an unbeaten innings of 80 from 58 balls, to help rally the hosts after an early wicket.

After Jofra Archer was dismissed for a duck early on, Tripathi and Ajinkya Rahane (33) boosted Rajasthan as they put on 99 runs for the second wicket.

But Umesh's double strike in the 14th over saw Rajasthan lose their way in the middle as he dismissed Rahane and Sanju Samson (0) off successive deliveries.

Heinrich Klaasen (32 from 21 balls) and Krishnappa Gowtham (14 from five balls) scored some quick runs at the end to boost the total in the death overs.

RCB's dangerous batting line-up including the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers would be fancying their chances of chasing down this modest total.

RCB need to chase down 165 in 15.5 overs to leapfrog Mumbai Indians in the points table on the net run rate.
