Patel out for 9 but Punjab in control
April 10, 2017  22:35


Punjab 85-2 (9 ovs) vs RCB 148-4 | Scorecard


Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack. Amla drives the first ball down the ground for two runs before he takes a single to long-off and new batsman Axar Patel gets off the mark with one. Amla keeps strike with another single from the last ball as Chahal makes a tidy start.

Abdulla comes back but he struggles with his control as he drops one short which Axar pulls over midwicket for a six to get 11 from the over.

Chahal makes the breakthrough to keep RCB's hopes alive with the wicket of Axar. The left-hander has a huge swing across the line but misses the googly and is bowled for nine.

Amla ensures Punjab don't lose the momentum as he lofts Chahal back over his head for a straight six to take his score to 32.

Despite the wicket, Punjab are looking in control on 85 for two in nine overs, with 64 needed from 11 overs for victory.
