April 24, 2019 20:34

RCB 70-1 (6 ovs) vs Punjab | Scorecard

Rajpoot continues as he drops short with De Villiers pulling it through midwicket for a four.

The next ball is pitched up as AB plays the drive through the covers where Mandeep Singh dives full length but gets his finger tips on it, deflecting the ball away from Mayank Agarwal, who had it covered, to give away three runs.

Rajpoot pitches it right up as Parthiv lofts it straight down the ground for a six, to bring up RCB's 50, in the fifth over.

Parthiv continues his attacking approach. He lofts the first ball of Shami's third over, lofting it over the off-side for a four. The next ball is short and wide as Parthiv slices it square, over point for another boundary.

Parthiv plays another attacking trying to heave it on the leg side but fails to make proper connection before he hammers Shami again over the off-side for another four.

Shami then bowls it full on the stumps as Parthiv flicks it uppishly as it carries over the square leg fence for a six as Shami goes for 18 in his third over.

Parthiv has smashed his way to 43 from 23 balls as RCB rally to 70 for one in six overs, having scored 32 from the last two overs.
