May 19, 2018 17:13
Rajasthan 104-3 (14 ovs) vs RCB | Scorecard
Rajasthan's batsmen doing well to keep the runs coming. RCB's plan is to dry up the boundaries and build some pressure but Rahane and Tripathi have kept the scoreboard ticking with regular singles and twos.
Tripathi pulls de Grandhomme square on the leg side for two runs to bring up his fifty from 38 balls.
He then chips down the track and lofts the Kiwi bowler back over his head for a six to get 12 from the over.
Chahal comes back into the attack. Tripathi flashed at a wide delivery only to get a thick outside edge for a boundary through thirdman. He then drives the next ball through the covers for two runs followed by another couple off the last ball to take Rajasthan past the 100-run mark, in the 13th over.
Umesh comes back and makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Rahane, who is given out leg before wicket after a steady innings of 33 from 31 balls.
Rahane walks across and tries to have it on the leg side but misses and is hit on the pads to give out LBW. He takes the DRS but the review goes against him as the Rajasthan captain walks back.
Umesh strikes with the very next ball with the big wicket of Sanju Samson, who chips it straight to Moeen Ali at midwicket to perish for a golden duck.
Umesh makes it three wickets in the over with the dismissal of Heinrich Klaasen, who is given out leg before wicket.
The South African takes the DRS which turns out to be a good call as he had got a big inside edge before the ball went on to hit the stumps.
A good final over from Umesh, who picked up two key wickets, while conceding just three runs to check Rajasthan's progress.
Another good spell from Umesh, who finishes with good figures of three for 25 in four overs including a maiden.
