KKR 151-6 (16 Ovs) vs RCB | SCORECARD

Liam Livingstone comes into the attack for the 14th over. Raghuvanshi and Rinku rotate the strike smartly, working the gaps and dealing mostly in singles. A short one from Livingstone is punished- Rinku pulls it away for four. A steady over, 10 runs come off it. After 14 overs, KKR are 141-4.

Krunal Pandya continues and keeps it tight once again. The batters stick to singles, but Krunal strikes again! He finishes his spell in style, hitting the top of off stump to dismiss Rinku for 12 off 10 balls. Just 4 runs and a wicket from the over-Krunal ends with a superb spell. After 15 overs, KKR are 145-5.

Andre Russell strides out to the middle as the new batter. Suyash Sharma returns for his final over.

Raghuvanshi starts with a single. Russell defends the first ball he faces, then muscles the next one for a boundary. But Suyash has the last laugh-WICKET! A deceptive googly does the trick, and Russell is bowled for just 4 off 3 balls.

Ramandeep Singh is the new man in. He defends cautiously and finishes the over with a single. A tidy over with a big breakthrough-6 runs and a wicket. After 16 overs, KKR are 151-6.
