- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.6 unconvincing innings from Banton comes to an end. Tripathi must be wondering why he was dropped down the order. No risks taken. And he is bowled off the inside edge to a really quick delivery. At 148ks, short of a length, nipping in slightly, and Banton is done in 23/19.3 Gill has run himself out. He has put himself under so much pressure he is trying to steal non-existent singles. Morgan down the wicket, Sundar drags the length back, the ball turns, goes off the outside half of the bat to cover-point, who is in tight. Gill runs through, and has no chance of making it 55/37.6 and the slog-sweep gets him. He tries for the big six, and Sundar fires a quick length ball in. He is beaten, and his middle stumps is knocked back 51/211.1 make it three wickets. Sundar bowls short of a length, Morgan tries to make pace and go inside-out, but all he manages is a top edge to short third man 64/510.3 played on. Chahal teases him with a wide slow legbreak. Karthik is caught in two minds, eventually tries a late cover-drive, and the ball doesn't turn, and the inside edge crashes into the stumps 62/413.5 Udana gets his own back. Game over. RCB are relieved although this didn't even get to threatening proportions, but they have been at the wrong end of this before. Udana goes full and wide, away from the wheelhouse, and all Russell manages is a catch to extra cover 85/616.6 sensational catch by Morris. Tripathi gets no power in this pull, and Morris charges in from long-on. This has hardly gone past the 30-yard circle, but Morris makes the ground and dives to actually make it look relatively easy 99/814.5 and now the catches are sticking too. Slower ball, Cummins looks to go over long-off, but toe-ends it for a sitter to Padikkal 89/718.6 timber. Nagarkoti looks for the big swing to an on-pace full ball, but it tails back in to take the inside edge onto the wicket 108/9Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL112/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.6)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Tom Banton, 3.6 ov), 2-51 (Nitish Rana, 7.6 ov), 3-55 (Shubman Gill, 9.3 ov), 4-62 (Dinesh Karthik, 10.3 ov), 5-64 (Eoin Morgan, 11.1 ov), 6-85 (Andre Russell, 13.5 ov), 7-89 (Pat Cummins, 14.5 ov), 8-99 (Rahul Tripathi, 16.6 ov), 9-108 (Kamlesh Nagarkoti, 18.6 ov)
