RCB batted first in the contest after losing the toss. Virat Kohli continued his great form at the tournament by breaking his third half-century of the season in just four games.

However, he did not receive much support from the other hitters. Kohli hit her half century in the ninth to warm applause from the fans and Anushka Sharma.

Faf du Plessis and Mahipal Lomror got off to a good start but failed to convert. Glenn Maxwell (24) looked menacing for a while with a flurry of big shots against the spinners.

Kuldeep Yadav dismissed him and Dinesh Karthik on successive balls at 15 to derail RCB’s innings. Anuj Rawat (15* from 22 balls) and Shahbaz Ahmed (20*) led the hosts to 174/6.

Reflecting on the first innings during the mid-inning break, Kuldeep Yadav said:

“The wicket wasn’t on the slower side so I was trying to keep my lengths. I was checking his (Virat) early move. I also hit him with some open shots. He (Maxwell) was doing really well and I believe in myself “Once we got him out, the next ball was taken out by DK bhai, so we were back in the game. Just concentrating on bowling in the right area.”
