Devdutt Padikkal and Aaron Finch are the two openers for RCB, who need a good start in their pursuit of 178, while ace pacer Jofra Archer will be looking to strike with the new ball.

Archer starts with a wide yorker as Padikkal is late in getting his bat to it and is beaten before he defends the next with caution.

The left-hander then guides the third ball to thirdman for a single to get off the mark before Archer produces a beauty to beat Finch. Some extra bounce along with the away movement as Finch looks to defend but is beaten on the outside edge before Archer bowls a leg side wide and the right-hander clips the last ball behind square for two runs, as four runs come from the first over.

Leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal from the other end. Padikkal clips the first ball through square leg for two runs and then nudges the third ball to short fine leg for a single.

Finch comes down the track as he fails to read the googly which hits his pads and goes on the leg side for a leg bye and Padikkal picks one off the last ball, as RCB reach 9-0, in two overs.
