Buttler, Smith steady Rajasthan Royals

October 17, 2020 16:33

Royals 80-3 (10 ovs) vs RCB

Debutant left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed comes into the attack.

Smith drives the first ball down to long-off for a single to get off the mark and Buttler glances the next fine on the leg side for two runs.

Ahmed gives some width as Buttler drills it through the covers for a four and nearly chips the last ball to midwicket as he clips it uppishly.

Chahal continues as Smith clips the first ball on the leg side for one and Buttler reverses the third ball through the off-side for just one.

Smith then pokes at the fourth ball tentatively as he gets it to short thirdman and then takes a quick single despite the hesitation before Buttler clips the fifth ball for another run before the former offers no shot to the last ball.

At the halfway stage, Royals have reached 80-3 in 10 overs.
