RCB 7-1 (2 ovs) vs Punjab | Scorecard

And Kings XI Punjab straightaway start with spin as Axar Patel opens the bowling. And the move pays off as Axar claims the big wicket of Watson in the first over as he inside edges it back on to his stumps to be bowled for one.

Sandeep Sharma to bowl from the other end. Vinod chips down the track and has a wild swing but misses as the ball just misses the stumps. He gets an inside edge on the leg side for a single before AB de Villiers plays a superb shot off the first ball he faces.

Back after an injury, de Villiers drives Sandeep through the off-side for a four to get off the mark in style. He is beaten off the last ball as he attempts to hit the last ball again through the off-side.
