Royals 133-4 (16 ovs) vs RCB

Left-arm pacer Udana is called back into the attack.

A single each to Smith and Buttler off the first two balls before the Royals captain cuts a short wide ball over point for a four.

Udana makes the same mistake again as Smith again slashes it, this time over short thirdman for another boundary and keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Morris makes a comeback to the bowling attack.

Smith wastes no time as he heaves a full delivery high over square leg for a huge six and then clips the next behind square for one.

Morris then makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Buttler, who attempts to loft it down the ground but fails to get hold of it and is caught at long-off for 24.

Smith continues to look in good touch as he guides a wide delivery from Morris to the right of the wicketkeeper for a four and then picks one and Rahul Tewatia takes one off the last ball as Royals reach 133-4 in 16 overs.
