The Build-up

RCB sense a chance

CSK would be relieved to return to their fortress after successive losses. They’ve won nine games on the bounce at Chepauk. Also, R Ashwin might return, recovering from a split finger. It would be a big boost for the hosts if the offie passes the fitness test, but Bangalore have the wherewithal to upset the odds.

Chennai Express comes to a halt

David Warner props up SRH despite slow-gun Morgan. Bhuvi then bowls a wicket-maiden before a captain’s self-goal sinks CSK.

Mandy comes handy

Mandeep checked his grip before taking his stance. Something sensational followed. He hit a Russell yorker inside out over the point boundary. Another six over backward square leg did it for Bangalore. They won by seven wickets to be third on the table with nine points.
