Pathirana to bowl the 18th over. Tim David has a close shave as he plays the cut shot which goes through Ayush Mhatre's legs at point. He failed to get low to a possible catch as the ball went through for a single.
However, Pathirana strikes a couple of balls later. Patidar, who struggled for 11 from 15 balls, lofts the length ball straight to Curran at mid-off.
Romario Shepherd misses out on the upper cut off a short wide delivery before he reviews and manages to get a wide using the review.
He clips the next uppishly but fails to find the gap as it falls short of the fielder at fine leg for one.
Just five runs from the over as CSK manage to keep things under check in the last few overs.
RCB slip to 159/5 in 18 overs, having lost four wickets for 36 runs in the the space of 35 balls.
