19.3 to KD Karthik, holes out to long-off. Back of a length and outside off, skewed to Rahane for a simple catch. The bottom hand came off the bat, foiling DK's timing. 177/4

5.6 to CH Gayle, Kulkarni rattles the top of middle. Gayle races down the track and hunts for a big swipe. Dhawal marginally shortens his length. Gayle misses, Dhawal hits and exults. End of Gayle. End of Powerplay.. 41/1
7.3 to V Kohli, Two big wickets in four balls for Dhawal on day he was picked for Bangladesh tour. Kohli's attempted encore fails! This was on a length and just outside off, Kohli aims to turn it to midwicket, closes his bat face and chips it back to the bowler. Dhawal moves to his left and snaffles it. 46/2

BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB
402215.50133010
15.6 to CH Morris, Morris bags a duck, picks out Chahal at mid-off. Full and on middle, Morris backs away and slices it straight down the throat of Chahal. 95/8
402025.00132010
1.6 to SR Watson, Watson has nicked off! DK and Gayle go up straightaway.. The forefinger goes up slowly. This was on a good length and angling away outside off, Watson chases it and can only edge it to the keeper, who moves to his right and snaps it up. Kohli is pumped, super-pumped... 14/1
14.4 to JP Faulkner, Aravind claims a catch, appeals. He is celebrating.. They go to the TV umpire. Legal ball. This was a low full toss, dips in on off. Faulkner shuffles across, aims to slog, gets an inside edge onto the front boot and lobs it back to Aravind. Smart return catch after stretching to his left. RR slide to 92 for 6. 92/6
301525.0081000
4.5 to SV Samson, Harshal Patel strikes! The short ball works. This was banged in and climbs alarmingly on the stumps, Samson perhaps was caught in two minds whether to play at it or sway his upper body out of the way. He can't get out of the tangle and ends up faint-edging it to DK. 33/2
12.1 to KK Nair, caught behind! Simple catch for DK. On a length and zipping through outside off with some extra pace. Karun perhaps looked for the cut with his feet paralysed to the crease, only feeds an outside edge to the keeper, who throws the ball up in the air and celebrates. 79/4
403228.0084010
8.1 to SPD Smith, AB takes it at sweeper cover! Smith has to depart. Pitched up, outside off and cuts away, Smith nips down the track, but does not connect well with the lofted strike. Slices it into the hands of AB for a dolly. He reverse-cups his hands around it. 55/3
16.5 to DJ Hooda, another nail rammed in the RR coffin. Wiese bangs it short and outside off, Hooda is in no position to pull, mis-times it, hit high on the bat for a simple catch at deep square leg. 99/9
402025.0091000
13.6 to AM Rahane, Rahane gone now, he perishes to scoreboard pressure. RR continue to fade away. Flat around off, Rahane sinks to one knee, goes for a slog sweep and top-edges it to AB at deep midwicket. 87/5
18.6 to DS Kulkarni, bowled'im. RCB advance to Qualifier 2. They set up CSK Ranchi date for a place in the final. Chahal slips in the googly, Kulkarni fails to pick it after making room, he drives and doesn't connect. Chahal hits middle and off.. 109/10
