RCB have brushed aside KKR by 8 wickets. The match was lost in the first half of KKR innings itself. 84 was too low a total for any team. Virat Kohli and Gurkeerat Mann wrap it up quickly in the end with the latter scoring two consecutive fours afainst Varun Chakravarthy in the penultimate over. RCB: 85/2 (13.3 Overs)
21 October 2020, 22:26 PM
Kohli and Gurkeerat are making sure that they don't lose their wickets by playing any risky strokes. Just 18 needed from 54 balls now. RCB: 67/2 (11 Overs)
21 October 2020, 22:07 PM
RCB just need to stick around in there. Kohli an Mann are now at the crease. They must not try any rash shots with only 31 needed from 66 balls. RCB: 54/2 (9 overs)
21 October 2020, 21:58 PM
OUT!! Two wickets in three balls!! Devdutt Padikkal is run-out after a terrible mix-up with Gurkeerat Mann. Mann defended the ball and Padikkal came too far down the pitch to go back. RCB: 46/2 (7 Overs)
21 October 2020, 21:53 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Ferguson removes Aaron Finch. It was an angling in delivery from the Kiwi pacer which took the outside edge from Finch's bat and goes straight to Karthik. RCB: 46/1 (6.2 Overs)
21 October 2020, 21:42 PM
Now this is poor captaincy from Morgan. It's already the end of the first powerplay and we have not seen Lockie Ferguson into the attack. He was the hero in their Super Over victory against SRH and should have been handed the new ball. Meanwhile, Padikkal and Finch are crusing towards the small target. RCB: 44/0 (6 Overs)
21 October 2020, 21:39 PM
13 runs come from Prasidh Krishna's second over. Devdutt Padikkal is elegance personified as he hits a beautiful inside out shot over the top for four. RCB will look for a 10 wicket victory here. RCB: 28/0 (4 Overs)
21 October 2020, 21:32 PM
This is a difficult pitch to bat and even the RCB openers are finding it tough. The good thing is that they are respecting the wicket and not playing any rash shots. 4 runs apiece come from the first two overs bowled by Cummins and Prasidh Krishna. RCB: 8/0 ( 2 Overs)
21 October 2020, 21:23 PM
Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal will open the RCB innings. Pat Cummins to start for KKR. RCB: 0/0 (0 Overs)
21 October 2020, 21:12 PM
KKR have posted just 84/8 from their 20 overs. It was just one way traffic right from the get go. 10 runs come from the final over bowled by Morris, which was the most expensive over the innings. KKR: 84/8 (20 Overs)
21 October 2020, 20:58 PM
KKR are just making sure that they don't lose wickets every over form here. Forget the runs. The result of the match is already a foregone conclusion. Kuldeep Yadav and Lockie Ferguson are now at the crease. Can Lockie Ferguson repeat his heroics with the bat ? Morris and Siraj are operating now. KKR: 68/7 (18 Overs)
21 October 2020, 20:50 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Eoin Morgan is gone. He was fighting the lone battle and is finally dismissed as he tried to go big against Washington Sundar. It's already game set and match to RCB. Gurkeerat Mann takes an easy catch deep midwicket. KKR: 58/7 (16 Overs)
21 October 2020, 20:37 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Chahal has his second. Pat Cummins tried to go over long-off but ends up hitting it straight to Padikkal. Cummins made 4 off 17 balls! Yes, you read that right. KKR: 41/6 (13 Overs)
21 October 2020, 20:28 PM
There was another LBW shout against Pat Cummins and he was given out. He was again wrapped on the pads right on the next ball after Karthik's dismissal. Cummins took a review and umpire had to change his decision on the second consecutive ball. Sundar and Chahal are bowling as if they will take a wicket on every ball. KKR: 39/5 (11 Overs)
21 October 2020, 20:26 PM
WATCH - Siraj picks 2 in 2
First Tripathi, next ball Rana - Siraj was on a roll as he picked two wickets in two balls to wreck KKR early. Splendid bowling from Siraj.https://t.co/gf6m8Ijczn #Dream11IPL

21 October 2020, 20:20 PM
OUT!! Dinesh Karthik is gone. Chahal removes him LBW. It was a wrong one and wrapped Karthik on the pads. Original decision is not out but Kohli takes the review just in time and the umpire has to change his dicision. KKR: 33/5 (9 Overs)
21 October 2020, 20:08 PM
The experienced duo of Dinesh Karthik and skipper Eoin Morgan are now at the crease. Morgan was batting at 2 off 12 balls before finally freeing his hands against Isuru Udana. Karthik is playing similarly from the other end. KKR: 23/4 (7 Overs)
21 October 2020, 20:01 PM
He’s bowled deliveries, picked wickets and is yet to concede a run off the bat!

OUT!! WICKET!! Tom Banton is out caught behind and Mohammad Siraj has his third. Again a beautiful outswinger. Banton pokes at it and pays the price. Have KKR lost the match already ? Siraj has bowled two maidens and picked up three wickets. What a display from him. KKR: 14/4 (4 Overs)
21 October 2020, 19:46 PM
OUT!! HUGE WICKET!! Another one bites the dust. What is going on. Shubman Gill is dismissed by Navdeep Saini. It was a poor shot from Gill. A half-pull it was. He mistimed it completely and the ball went straight up and Morris takes an easy catch. KKR: 13/3 ( 3 Overs)
21 October 2020, 19:45 PM
Siraj cant complete his hat-trick. Still what an over. Two wickets and a maiden. KKR: 3/2 (2 Overs)
21 October 2020, 19:43 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Mohammed Siraj takes two wickets in two balls! He is on a hat-trick. He bowls out Nitish Rana with a tremendous in-swinger to the left hander. This is going to go down as one of the balls of the tournament. KKR: 3/2 (1.4 Overs)
21 October 2020, 19:39 PM
OUT!! WICKET!! Rahul Tripathi is dismissed caught behind to Mohammad Siraj. It was a beautiful away swinger from Siraj and Tripathi tries to poke at it. The ball takes a thick edge and goes straight to keeper De Villiers. KKR: 3/1 (1.3 Overs)
21 October 2020, 19:30 PM
Shubman Gill and Rahul Tripathi will open the KKR innings against RCB's Chris Morris. KKR: 0/0 (0 Overs)
