Harshal Patel returns to the attack, but Patidar wastes no time welcoming him with a crisp boundary. The boundaries keep flowing for RCB as Patidar keeps the pressure on. He's beaten off the next delivery, then Harshal drifts wide of the crease. Patidar nudges through for a couple of runs, before lofting one up - the ball drops perfectly between long-off and deep cover, allowing him two more runs.
Ten runs come off the over, RCB are cruising at 148-3 after 13 overs.
Jaydev Unadkat is back, with Abhishek stationed at deep midwicket, another chance goes begging for SRH. Meanwhile, Jitesh responds with a boundary, followed by a massive six that electrifies the crowd. An easy single follows. Unadkat tosses in a slower ball, Patidar picks up a couple of runs, and two more singles come at the end of the over.
Fifteen runs come off it, RCB now 163-3 after 14 overs, needing 69 runs from 36 balls.
