Karnataka duo of KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal walk out to open the batting for Punjab Kings as they chase a stiff 186 for victory.

Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman to bowl the first over for Royals, who be eyeing a few early wickets to keep the Punjab's batting line-up in check.

Rahul pushes the second ball square on the off-side for a single and Mayank picks one off the next ball.

Some width from Rahman as Rahul plays the drive but straight to the fielder in the covers, followed by singles off the last two balls as just four runs come from the first over.

Left-arm pacer Chetan Sakariya from the other end. He gets the first ball to move away and bounce as Agarwal pushes at it from the crease and is beaten.

The Punjab opener steers the next ball on the off-side but Evin Lewis at point dives to his right to save some runs.

He flicks the third ball on the leg side as Parag dives to his right at mid-on to keep it down to one.

Rahul, on 2, gets a lifeline as he cuts Sakariya uppishly but Lewis puts down the sharp chance at point.

Agarwal punches the fifth ball through the covers for a couple of runs to the fielder in the deep and keeps strike with one from the last ball.
