Saini has been called back into the attack. Kohli reviews for LBW off the first ball against Holder, but the ball touched Holder’s bat on that occasion. Holder pulls the second ball for massive six, before inside edging off the next and yet, still finding a boundary. Sharma helps the ball on its way for a six off the penultimate ball before handing a simple catch to Gurkeerat in the deep. 19 runs and a wicket in that over.

After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 96/4 ( Abhishek Sharma 2 , Jason Holder 9)

Udana into his third over. Starts off with a slower one against Williamson, who holes out to Virat Kohli at covers. Once again, we spot an animated Kohli. Holder deposits a short delivery from Udana over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Nine runs and a wicket in the over.

After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 87/3 ( Kane Williamson 8 , Abhishek Sharma 2)

Right, spin from both ends as Sundar returns for his third over. Both the batsmen doing the wise thing, simply rotating strike as the required run rate is under check. Five runs off the over, all through singles.

After 11 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 82/3 ( Kane Williamson 5 , )

Chahal into his third over. Smart move this from Kohli, who knows now’s the time to go for the kill. Saha shimmies down the wicket and powers the first for a four towards deep mid-wicket. Chahal tempts Saha to go for the big shot and spins a web around the batter. And ABD dislodges the stumps in flash. Eight runs and a wicket in that over.

After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 74/2 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 33 , Kane Williamson 3)

Udana returns. Starts off with a full toss and Saha creams it through the covers for a boundary. The third ball slips out of Udana’s hands, Williamson thought that it was over the waist and should be called a no-ball. The umpire though had other ideas. Right, change of ball in the middle of the over. Can this also be a change of fortunes for RCB? Not quite! Seven runs off the over, courtesy a boundary and three singles.

After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 67/2 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 27 , Kane Williamson 2)

Chahal into his second over. Saha hits the ball straight to the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Chahal claimed he got a hand to that, but the third umpire turned down the decision. Fantastic display of swing bowling from Chahal, even though he is struggling to grip the ball because of the dew. Just three runs off the over.

After 8 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 64/2 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 25 , Kane Williamson 1)

Isuru Udana, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack. Williamson, the new man in, gets off the mark straight away, with a single towards backward point. Saha helps the second ball towards fine leg for a double. Lovely change of pace from Udana off the fourth. After getting beaten, Williamson carefully defends off the final two deliveries. Superb bowling from Udana, just four runs in his over.

After 7 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 38/2 ( Josh Philippe 20 , AB de Villiers (W) 4)

End of the strategic time out and Yuzvendra Chahal, Virat Kohli’s trump card, takes the ball. And the leggie lives up to his reputation, removes Manish Pandey with a tossed-up delivery off the fourth. Pandey handed a simple catch to Morris at long-on. Two runs and a wicket off Chahal’s first. RCB need more of such overs.

After 6 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 58/1 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 21 , Manish Pandey 25)

Final over of the powerplay and Mohammed Siraj comes into the attack. Right, once again, RCB are in a precarious position, can he help their case? Not quite as Saha collects a four and a six in his over. Clearly, the short ball ploy is not working. 12 runs off the over. And we head into the strategic time out!

After 5 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 46/1 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 9 , Manish Pandey 25)

Morris into his second over. Strays on the pads off the first and Pandey flicks the ball for a four. Once again, bowls the third into Pandey’s body and the batsman picks up a single there. RCB’s pace spearhead bowls three wides and struggles with his line in this over. But Kohli’s men do not have the luxury of giving away freebies. Pandey collects a boundary off the last. 15 runs off the over, costly one from Morris.
