RCB all out for 109
That’s the game for Punjab. They beat RCB by 97 runs, a massive victory for them. Chahal the last man to be dismissed. Fuller from Ashwin, Chahal sweeps but missed and the ball hits the pad, Punjab appeal and umpire raises the finger to finish the game. Punjab collect their first points. An embarrassing loss for RCB!

10.58pm
RCB 9 down
Brilliant from Ashwin, straighter and sharper, Saini gives it a go with a big swing but misses it, but the ball does not miss the stumps. RCB nine down.
10.56pm
Royal Challengers Bangalore need 105 runs in 24 balls
Bishnoi completes his spell. What a match this has been from him. When he came on, ABD and Finch targeted him but he came back strongly. He has finished with figures of 3 for 32. RCB- 102/8 after 16 overs
Another one bites the dust.
Bishnoi picks up his 3rd wicket of the game. #RCB in all sorts of trouble as they lose their 8th wicket.

2nd strategic timeout; RCB 8 down
Ravi Bishnoi has his third, Washington Sundar as soon as he hit it that it was nowhere near the middle of the bat. A simple catch in the deep and RCB are 101 for 8 as the umpire signals for the final strategic timeout.
Sundar batting, ati sundar bowling 👌

10.45pm
Umesh gone; RCB 7 down
Wild swing from Umesh, wrong’un from Bishnoi does the trick as the batter misses it completely. Bishnoi has his second wicket. RCB seven down.
10.40pm
Maxwell bowls a faster one and catches Dube off guard on back foot, misses the connection and the ball hits the middle stump. RCB lose their sixth.
10.36pm
Shami returns in the 11th over. Sundar takes a swipe at him and the ball lands just short of third man. Murugan Ashwin looks to have done enough to stop the four, but replays show his feet touched the rope. Four to start off but just three singles in the rest of the over. Neesham continues in the 12th over. Dube picks up a short ball and smashes a six to midwicket. RCB-80/5 after 12 overs
10.32pm
RCB-70/5 after 11 overs
Shami comes back into the attack. Gets hit for a boundary on the first ball but comes back well to give just three singles and bowl two dots. Royal Challengers Bangalore need 137 runs in 54 balls.
10.27pm
It’s been KXIP all the way today. At no point of the match has RCB been on top of this match. Sundar and Dube happy to play out Murugan’s over without incident. A first look at James Nessham in the 10th over as KXIP decide they can take their foot off the gas for a bit. RCB-63/5 after 10 overs
At the halfway mark, #RCB are 63/5.

10.20pm
1st Strategic Timeout
ABD goes back. Googly from Ashwin, de Villiers goes for the big one but gets caught at deep cover by Sarfaraz. Time out also called.
10.17pm
Fifty for RCB
Bishnoi continues. And just when things were looking good for RCB, one more wicket goes down, their fourth, in form of Finch, who was done in by a brilliant leg spinner from Bishnoi. Washington Sundar joins ABD in the middle. Five and a wicket off the over. KXIP-53/4 after 8 overs
10.15pm
Bowled’em!
Bishnoi gets Finch, lovely leg spinner, turns a little off the pitch and hits the top of off. Finch has to go, he goes back for 20.
10.09pm
RCB-48/3 after 7 overs
10.06pm
End of Powerplay; 15 off the over
Ravi Bishnoi, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack. He is being put under pressure from Ball 1. Finch goes down the ground to get four. Bishnoi strays down the leg stump line too much and gets hit for one more boundary by ABD. Comes back well with two dots. Needs to target the off stump more often. RCB-40/3 after 6 overs
10pm
De Villiers signals his intentions as Cottrell bowls the fourth over. A six over long on sets the fake crowd noise going ‘ABD, ABD’! Might need to set it to default if ABD gets going. A four through the covers later in the over. 14 runs off the over – the first sign that RCB are not going down tonight without a fight. RCB-25/3 after 5 overs
9.56pm
Shami continues. Both the pacers getting great movement off the pitch. DRS saves Finch for caught behind. Shami continues to bring it in to him. Finch has had his issues with the one that comes in sharply from outside the off stump line. Just 6 off the over. RCB-11/3 after 4 overs
9.53pm
RCB look to wake up from the nightmare they find themselves in. Shami gets one wrong, bowls a full toss. Finch swings and gets a four. Next ball, there are hige appeals. Finch is given out caught behind. He Reviews. No bat. Check for Lbw. Not out on that count too. Finch survives.
9.52pm
DRS saves Aaron Finch
Decision reversed. Aaron Finch survived. He knew it straight away that he hasn’t hit it. It was on length from Shami, came back in sharply, got Aaron Finch into a complete tangle, the ball hit his pads and lobbed straight into keeper Rahul’s hands. The umpire raised his finger but replays showed there was no bat involved and the ball would also go on to miss the stumps. RCB 11/3 after 4 overs.
9.50pm
KXIP-5/3 after 3 overs
Cottrell continues. Superb from him. Three dots to start the over and then removes Kohli on the fourth. Second wicket for him and the salutes are back. AB de Villiers joins Finch as RCB are in deep, deep trouble. Just 1 and one wicket in the over.
9.46pm
Virat Kohli departs for 1
Kohli gone! Huge one this for Punjab. Three dots created pressure on RCB captain and Kohli tried to pull, the ball went up in the air and Ravi Bishnoi took a safe catch.
The celebration says it all.

9.41pm
Josh Philippe gone; Shami joins the party!
Philippe goes fo a 3-ball duck. He has not never played Shami and the ball came in sharply at quick pace, trapping him in front of stumps. Second wicket down for RCB in just the second over of the innings.
9.37pm
Padikkal gone for 1
Cottrell removes Padikkal to get his first wicket in just the first over of the match. Got too big on Paddikal who went on with his pull but ended up being caught at mid on. RCB-2/1 after 1 over
9.30pm
Aaand we are back with RCB chase
Cottrell to open the bowling for KXIP. Padikkal to take strike.
9.20pm
4,6,6;
End of 20 overs
It’s Shivam Dube for the 20th over. Karun Nair pulls him for four off the second ball. Rahul on strike for the second half of the over. And he ends with a bang. What a show from KL Rahul as well. KXIP-206/3 after 20 overs
Innings Break!
132* by KL Rahul as #KXIP post a formidable total of 206/3 on the board.

9.17pm
Steyn back in the 19th. Six off the first ball to midwicket. Four off the second ball to third man. 100 for KL Rahul! Off 62 balls. The first 100 of the season. A huge pull off the fourth ball. 95 metres that travels over midwicket. Fifth ball – another six. A carnage from KL Rahul. Steyn has a smile on his face and it looks like a smile of resignation. Four off the last ball. 26 runs off the over.
9.11pm
End of 18 overs; KXIP-157/3
Virat Kohli drops KL Rahul yet again and the KXIP skipper will be seeking to make the most out of it in the last 2 remaining overs
9.05pm
That was close!
Steyn almost gets rid of Rahul off the final delivery as the Kings XI captain miscues a pull towards deep midwicket, with his opposite number Kohli putting down the chance near the boundary rope.

9.04pm
Dale Steyn returns; goes for 14 runs
Dale Steyn returns as the innings heads into the slog overs, and bowls much better in the first four deliveries, keeping Rahul and the new batsman Nair to the ones and twos. Concedes a wide off the fifth delivery while attempting a slower yorker, and is smacked for a six next ball. KXIP-146/3 after 17 overs
8.58pm

50 for KL Rahul
His 17th in the Indian Premier League! Has been a refreshing knock from the skipper today so far, his strike rate touching 140 at the moment, and he’ll hope to anchor the innings from hereon and help them finish on a total that’s hopefully out of RCB’s reach. KXIP-100/1 after 12 overs

Rahul and Pooran decide against attacking the in-form Chahal, who had foxed Agarwal earlier today, opting instead to keep the scoreboard ticking with the ones and twos. Four off the over, with Rahul one short of his fifty at the moment. KXIP-95/1 after 11 overs

8.16pm
1st Strategic Timeout
KL Rahul and Pooran shoulder the KXIP innings. The skipper has looked in good form so far, playing some excellent cricketing shots. Is KXIP on course for a big total tonight? KXIP-70/1 after 9 overs
8.11pm
Washington Sundar bowls the 8th. Steyn misfields to give Rahul another easy four to third man. Nicholas Pooran comes in at 3. Gets off the mark in IPL 2020. KXIP-65/1 after 8 overs
8.06pm
Chahal gets the breakthrough
Mayank Agarwal’s stumps broken as the Chahal change works once again for RCB. Agarwal’s undone by a googly from Chahal, and RCB get the first breakthrough! The batsman was playing for the turn and tried to drive it through the covers, but was beaten completely. FOW-57/1
8pm
End of Powerplay
50 up for KXIP
Josh Philippe dives to his left and saves four byes as Saini bowls a big wide down leg side. Philippe had a disappointing first game behind the stumps, there’ll be a lot of attention on his show today. Saini applauds Philippe’s collection. Saini bowls another wide, then a full toss, Mayank drives it for an easy four. KXIP-50/0 after 6 overs
A steady start for #KXIP.
At the end of the powerplay, the score reads 50/0

Change of ends for Steyn in the penultimate over of the powerplay. Singles collected off each of the first two deliveries, before Agarwal pulls the third over midwicket for his third boundary, forcing Kohli to make a shuffle in the field towards the leg side. A dot and two singles off the last three deliveries. KXIP-41/0 after 5 overs
7.50pm
Navdeep Saini brought into the attack in place of Dale Steyn, with a slip in place. Barring getting hit for a boundary off the fifth delivery that is the result of some exquisite timing on Rahul’s part, Saini keeps it tight, giving away three runs off the remaining deliveries. KXIP-33/0 after 4 overs
7.46pm
Umesh continues in the 3rd. Mayank manufactures room and goes inside out over covers for a four off the first ball of the over, Finch beaten by the ball in the chase. Mayank times it to square leg for another four off his pads as Umesh again strays down leg. KXIP-26/0 after 3 overs
