Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders: 129 was not easy to get for RCB. It required contributions from Willey, Rutherford, Shahbaz, and Dinesh Karthik to overpower Southee and Umesh

8:15 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 58-4 after 08 overs, Narine opens up

 

Four!! Pitched up and Sunil Narine goes for his favorite straight drive over the mid-off field and gets a four

 

Six!! After bowling full, Narine now goes short and this time without being in control, Narine pulls and pulls this behind the wicketkeeper for a six. would you believe it?

 

After a four and a six only two more runs come from it and it would be 58-4 after 8

8:08 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 46-4 after 6.4 overs, Shreyas Iyer gone

 

Wicket!! Here we go..are we in for a collapse here as Shreyas Iyer hits the googly from Wanindu Hasaranga straight into the hands of Faf du Plessis at long-on. Iyer c du Plessis b Hasranga for 13

8:04 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 44-3 after 06 overs, Akash Deep gets Nitish Rana

 

Six!! Bamn goes Rana who stays back in the crease and hits this short of a good length ball to a six over deep square leg to start proceedings for himself 

 

No ball and a free hit will follow. Not the first time that we are seeing this in the IPL are we?

 

Four off the Free Hit!! A wide yorker was nailed in by Akash Deep but Rana was up to the task and dug it out past the cover-point fielder for a four-run 

 

Willey-up!! That was a magnificent catch from David Willey as the ball was short and Rana, true to his attacking nature went for the pull shot. However, the ball was fast and hit high on his bat and went in the air behind the short square leg and Willey ran from the short fine leg position and grabbed an unbelievable catch to remove Rana, and now KKR is three down. Rana c Willey b Akash Deep for 10

7:55 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 32-2 after 05 overs, Siraj gets Rahane

 

Four!! On the hips and Iyer guides this for four down the fine-leg boundary as the balls beat a diving Shahbaz Ahmed 

 

Mohd Siraj is straying down the leg in this over but has been punished only once so far. 

 

Dropped!! That should have been taken by Siraj. It wasn't that fiercely hit as Iyer tried to make room and hit a ball coming into him to the leg side, but instead only managed to lob it back to Siraj at his ankle length. The bowler got his palms to it but was not able to hold on to it. It would be interesting to see how much it costs them

 

Wicket!! If not Iyer, Siraj would have Rahane at least. It was short and Rahane pulled it, but the ball hit high on his bat and was not able to get the elevation or the distance and went straight to Shahbaz Ahmed at deep fine leg who caught it with much ease. Rahane c Shahbaz b Siraj for 9

7:50 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 25-1 after 04 overs, Shreyas gets it going

 

Four!! What a way to start your innings, Shreyas Iyer. Full and there to drive and Iyer has no two thoughts and drives this for a glorious four to start his innings. 

 

Ajinkya Rahane raises this in the air  and in the gap too to get two runs

 

Four!! Edge and beats the flying slip to get to the third-man boundary for four. Expensive over and a wicket from it 

7:48 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 14-1 after 3.1 overs, Venkatesh Iyer gone

7:43 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 14-0 after 03 overs, Batters stuck in the crease

 

Willey has started well once again as he has bowled wicket to wicket and is not giving any room whatsoever for the batters to try and free their arms and there is no attempt from the batters to come down the ground and disturb Willey's length either 

 

Three runs from the first five balls and yet another good over from Willey here is about to end. What can he do off the very last ball? 

 

Venky comes down the crease but Willey shortens his length and only one run can be taken. Just four from the third over as well

7:38 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 10-0 after 02 overs,brilliant over from Siraj

 

Four!! Wow...just creamed this one from Venkatesh Iyer. It was full and it was at the driving length and Iyer drove it past Point and Cover-Point for four runs 

 

A compulsory change has been made and a man is pushed to deep Point as Siraj continues to probe the off stump area of Iyer

 

Saved!! That was pretty close to getting played down as it hit Iyer's at and was almost sneaking onto the stumps before Iyer feigned the ball away with his boots

 

Siraj has bowled a brilliant over here as he has mostly found the outside edge of the bat or has been there and there about. Six runs from the over 

 

7:34 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 4-0 after 01 overs, Tight start from Willey

 

David Willey has the ball in hand and Faf du Plessis has the orange cap on his head just after the first set of games is completed in the IPL. Willey starts with an away swinger 

 

Four singles from the over so far as Willey is not allowing the KKR players to cut loose here and it would remain 4 from the first over

7:28 PM

RCB vs KKR Live | KKR Live Score 0-0 after 00 overs

 

So we are all set for the game here as players from KKR and RCB take the field at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The two openers for KKR are Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane and the RCB side is in a huddle too. It's time for the game and here we go..
