This is the third wicket-less powerplay for RCB, in which two have come against RR this season. This is also the third time RR failed to pick a wicket inside the powerplay (one was vs KKR).

Wanindu Hasaranga, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack
Timeout! This is the best start for RCB on their home ground. Can they make it count by batting sensibly through the middle overs and post a total in excess of 170?
Powerplay summary -- RCB openers get some luck going their way -- Salt dropped on 1 by Parag off Farooqui -- Kohli survives a couple of edges off Archer -- Deshpande hammered for three boundaries in his first over -- The bounce is inconsistent and the pitch is tricky to bat on
