Krunal, Patidar keep chase moving

Harshal Patel returned to the attack, but Krunal Pandya kept the pressure on for Royal Challengers Bengaluru with a crisp boundary to start the over. He followed it up with a couple of runs and then nudged another single into the leg side.

At the other end, Rajat Patidar soaked up a dot ball before responding with a boundary of his own to keep RCB's chase alive.

A productive over for RCB -- 12 runs from it as they move to 139 for 3 after 14 overs.

The equation has now become even more interesting: RCB need 166 to secure a top-two finish, and 178 to go top of the table, with Gujarat Titans closely tracking this result.

Nitish Kumar Reddy was introduced into the attack, but Patidar welcomed him with another boundary. A slower bouncer sailed too high and was called wide before both batters settled into rotating strike with singles.

RCB continue to stay in the race -- 10 runs came off the over as they reach 149 for 3 after 15 overs, needing 107 from 30 balls.

Qualification scenarios:

If RCB finish between 166 and 177: GT finish 1st, RCB 2nd, SRH 3rd.

If RCB score 178 or more: RCB finish 1st, GT 2nd, SRH 3rd.
