FOUR! Swept away! FIFTY FOR KRUNAL PANDYA! His second fifty of the IPL career. Pitched fuller and outside the leg stump line, Krunal Pandya gets down on his knee and sweeps it past deep backward square leg for a boundary. 50 runs have come off the last 5 overs. RCB now need 49 off 30 balls.

Mitchell Starc to Virat Kohli

Mitchell Starc to Virat Kohli
A low full toss, outside off, Virat Kohli knocks it to straight to cover for one. Missed out on the opportunity to put it away, did, Virat Kohli!

Mitchell Starc to Krunal Pandya
DROPPED BY POREL! Total chaos on just one delivery! Mitchell Starc bowls the bouncer and Krunal Pandya is hurried onto the pull shot. He goes through and skies it in front of deep mid-wicket. Abishek Porel charges in and gets under the ball but fails to take the catch low in front. Krunal sets off for the second, but it seems like there is confusion between the batters, and Starc is left screaming for the throw to come to him. It does come, but a bit too late, and Starc misses to hit the stumps at the bowling end. The ball goes past, and the batters then take another run.

Mukesh Kumar to Virat Kohli
Low full toss, at the stumps, VK hits it stright back to the bowler.

Mukesh Kumar to Virat Kohli
FIFTY FOR KOHLI! The master of chases is yet again anchoring his team to one more victory. This is his 6th half-century of this season and 4th off the run chase. What a player! Another full toss, on the pads, Virat Kohli clips it to short fine leg who makes a fumble and allows the batters a run. This also brings up the 100-run partnership between these two. What an exceptional recovery this has been for RCB.

Mukesh Kumar to Krunal Pandya
In the air, but falls safe! It's all going RCB's way at the moment! Full and on off, Krunal Pandya slices it very high and over cover. Axar Patel moves back and tries to reach for it but the ball falls way beyond his reach. Two runs taken.

Mukesh Kumar to Krunal Pandya
FOUR! Top shot! Almost a perfect yorker, on middle and leg, Krunal Pandya gets his feet out of the way and flicks it in front of square on the leg side for a boundary.

Mukesh Kumar to Krunal Pandya
FOUR! Krunal Pandya is in a hurry to get things done! A better executed yorker, on off, but an even better shot from the batter. Krunal Pandya opens the bat face and squeezes it past point for another boundary.

Dushmantha Chameera to Krunal Pandya
Nails the wide yorker and Krunal Pandya fails to make any connection. He looks to the umpire in the hope for it to be called a wide, but it isn't. He decides to challenge it. The replay shows the batter to be in his usual stance and no part of the ball to be inside the tramline outside off. The on-field call is overturned to a WIDE. A good review this from Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Dushmantha Chameera to Krunal Pandya
FOUR! Just short! Full and on off, Krunal Pandya swats it off the lower half of the bat and does so a bit uppishly to the left of the fielder at mid off. Tristan Stubbs knows the ball was dipping ahead, but had to go for a try, and he does. The ball drops in front and evades him to race behind for a boudnary.

Nails the yorker at the toes again, Krunal Pandya does equally well to jam it to deep square leg for a single.

Dushmantha Chameera to Virat Kohli
OUT! CAUGHT! A bit too late, but a big wicket nonetheless for Dushmantha Chameera and Delhi Capitals! Can this be the opening they needed to make a miraculous comeback? They have done it in the past and will surely be on the hunt for a few more wickets. Chameers takes pace off and bowls it full and outside off, Virat Kohli looks to power it over the off side and is slightly deceived by the lack of pace as well. Hits it decently well off the lower half of the bat and to deep cover. Mitchell Starc stands just inches ahead of the ropes and takes a brilliant catch to his left.

Dushmantha Chameera to Tim David
Back of a length, on middle, Tim David miscues his pull through mid-wicket for a single and gets off the mark.

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David
SIX! Tim David doing Tim David things at the death! What a beast! A low full toss, on off, Tim tonks it straight back over the bowler's head for a six. Royal Challengers Bengaluru need 11 more runs off 11 balls.

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David
NO BALL AND FOUR! Mukesh Kumar is bowling way too many full tosses and is being taken apart. Seems unintentional this time as he serves this around the waist height, on middle, Tim David swipes it across, off the upper half of the bat and manages to get it over backward square leg for a boundary. RCB send it upstairs for a No Ball check and the Ball Tracker shows the ball to be fractionally above the waist height of Tim David! Another excellent use of a review from RCB and a Free Hit will follow.

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David
FOUR! Punished on the freebie! Full and on off, Tim David opens the bat face, uses his wrist and swats it through covers for a boundary. Just two more runs needed now.

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David
FOUR! 5 balls is all it took Tim David to wrap the game. Royal Challengers Bengaluru win by 6 wickets and 9 balls to spare. Mukesh Kumar goes very full and on middle and leg, Tim clears his front leg and flicks it behind square on the leg side for a boundary to get the win.
