Royals 177-6 (20 ovs) vs RCB

Udana to bowl the penultimate over.

Smith takes a single from the first ball before Tewatia swings a full toss from outside off-stump over midwicket and he makes pretty good connection to get it over the ropes for a six.

He then gets two through point and then attempts the paddle scoop but is beaten before hits the fifth ball straight down the ground for two more runs.

Tewatia finally connects with the paddle as he scoops the full toss over short fine leg for a four, to get 15 runs from the over.

Morris to bowl the final over. The first ball is a wide yorker before Smith falls next delivery courtesy of a stunning diving catch from debutant Shahbaz Ahmed at sweeper cover.

Smith had hit over the off-side as Ahmed put in a full length dive to his right and takes it inches inside the ropes to send back the Royals captain after a good innings of 57 from 36 balls.

Tewatia manages just a single off the third ball followed by a dot ball to Jofra Archer, who has a swing but misses.

Morris then bowls a wide outside the off-stump and Archer then hits a full toss on the bounce over the bowler for two runs to long-off.

The last ball is a cracking yorker as Archer is struck on the boots right in front of the stumps to be dismissed leg before wicket for two.

Royals manage just four runs from the final over to finish on 177-6 in their 20 overs, with Tewatia unbeaten on 19 from 11 balls.
