You feel that anything under 200, Punjab will back themselves to chase.
It's a lengthy over from Vijaykumar Vyshak, not just because he's competing with Yuzvendra Chahal my personal over-speed rankings but also because he throws a couple of wides into the mix.
But even with the two wides, RCB only had eight runs to their total.

Good running is something that you'll get whilst Virat Kohli is out there. You see those singles being turned into twos.
Yuzvendra Chahal rattles through his overs, doesn't he?
Six runs come from it. He's only got one left.

Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
We know Virat Kohli has got the ability to go through the gears but he knows the importance of his wicket and the psychological effect that it has.
Another timely breakthrough for Punjab Kings. Each RCB partnership is being halted just as they start to look dangerous.
Liam Livingstone is the new batter.

Rajat Patidar was beaten by the length and the pace.
Nikesh Rughani
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
Lovely delivery it was absolutely plum. Rajat Patidar knew it straight away, he was completely foxed by that.
This could get interesting now.
Patidar lbw b Jamieson 26 (RCB 96-3)
Kyle Jamieson goes big with the celebrappeal and the umpire raises his finger. No complaints from Rajat Patidar, who has to walk off for 26.
Jamieson is proving expensive - Patidar hit him for six two balls earlier - but he's taking wickets.

It's been a cautious start from RCB.

RCB don't want to leave it too late. I think we'll see a change of gear from Virat Kohli now. This is the perfect foundation, two set batters and a lot of depth still to come. They are in a very good position.
Kohli 27, Patidar 18
RCB called for a strategic timeout after the ninth over.
Azmatullah Omarzai returns to the attack and concedes a relatively tidy seven runs. However, there is a boundary for Virat Kohli, ramping a short delivery past the wicketkeeper. Will we see him kick into gear now?

Someone will have to play the big shots. Yuzvendra Chahal is a good bowler so to go after him like that, that wasn't an easy shot.
Rajat Patidar is taking the fight to Yuzvendra Chahal.
He had one ball in Chahal's previous over to size him up. When he gets on strike in the ninth, he immediately tonks him for a big six.
11 off the over.
Rajat Patidar frees his arms off the first delivery of the over to pick up his first boundary of the final, guiding the ball through deep third.
He defends the next ball before rotating the strike with Virat Kohli for the remainder of Vijaykumar Vyshak's second over.
Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special
Both teams are quite happy at the moment. Punjab haven't allowed RCB to run away but it has been a steady start from them. They just need to create a good partnership here.
A good bowling change by Shreyas Iyer, with Yuzvendra Chahal bagging the wicket of Mayank Agarwal.
RCB add six runs to their total.
Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special
You can tell that Mayank Agarwal was told to hit absolutely everything out there. That was an absolute dolly for Arshdeep Singh.
Nikesh Rughani
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
It's a simple catch for Arshdeep Singh in the end.
Agarwal c Arshdeep b Chahal 24 (56-2)
Yuzvendra Chahal strikes with just his second ball of the day and RCB have lost their second wicket.
It's a routine take for Arshdeep Singh, who barely has to move.
In comes RCB captain Rajat Patidar.
