After 16 overs, 136/6
It has definitely stopped and gripped a bit and Richardson used it excellently to get rid of Dube. The batsman got a boundary with the outside edge running past the short third man fielder. He once again went for a wild slog on the leg but failed to time his shot. Maxwell took the catch with a good diving effort at longon. Good innings by Dube. Eight from the over. Chris Morris now joins Tewatia.

After 15 overs, RR 128/5
Washington comes into the attack. Eight off the over with boundary for Tewatia as a result of a well-executed reverse sweep shot. RR are five down but there seem to be no demons in the pitch. The only thing, it has gripped a bit.
FOUR! Reverse sweep boundary for Tewatia. The delivery was angeled into Tewatia by Washington and the batsman showed good improvisation there.
After 14 overs, RR 120/4
Harshal Patel gets his first wicket. Parag got a boundary for himself with a helicopter shot breaching the midwicket fence but then fell trying to play the scoop shot.

He gets a boundary on the last ball with another flick shot to fine leg. 16 from the over.
FOUR! Poor bowling from Harshal. Tewatia walks across to off stump. Harshal bowls full on leg and the batsman flicks it to fine leg.
SIX! Rahul Tewatia nonchalantly plays the flick shot over the fine leg fielder for a maximum.
Gone! Riyan Parag c Chahal b Harshal Patel 25(16)
Harshal Patel breaks the partnership. Parag moved across to play a scoop shot but the ball took the back of the bat on its way to Chahal at third man. Harshal then gives Parag a send off.
FOUR! Helicopter shot from Parag. Fuller delivery from Harshal and he gets punished with a shot to midwicket.

Preview: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 16 of IPL 2021 on Thursday.
RCB have long endured the tag of perennial underachievers but are flying high at the moment in the IPL 2021 with three wins from as many games. In fact they are the only team with 100 per cent win record in the tournament now.
With six points already in the bag, RCB have one leg almost in the playoffs but Virat Kohli knows it better than anyone that the job is far from over. The team cannot afford to be complacent and that will be the aim as they seek the fourth consecutive win of the season against RR.

Apart from complacency, RCB also have the challenge of quickly adapting to new conditions in Mumbai. All of their three matches had taken place in Chennai. RCB's winning streak has been a result of their players performing well in all departments. Their only area of concern at the moment is the lack of runs from the openers. Both Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal are yet to play an innings of note.
On the other hand, RR are on a sticky wicket losing two out of their three matches. Their only victory came against Delhi Capitals. They come into the match after losing to Chennai Super Kings by 45 runs. The defeat was down to RR's batting collapse and in the absence of Ben Stokes their middle-order looks extremely brittle and heavily reliant on young Indian players.
Sanju Samson has a tough task on his hand to inspire a young group of players against RCB, a team with a solid mix of seasoned and young cricketers. However, RR go into the match with one advantage and that is the knowledge of the conditions at the Wankhede Stadium. RR have played all their matches in Mumbai so far and that could help them against RCB.
Squads:
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli(c), Devdutt Padikkal, Shahbaz Ahmed, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers(w), Washington Sundar, Daniel Christian, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa, Sachin Baby, Srikar Bharat, Navdeep Saini, Pavan Deshpande, Rajat Patidar, Mohammed Azharuddeen, Finn Allen, Suyash Prabhudessai, Daniel Sams
Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler, Manan Vohra, Sanju Samson(w/c), Shivam Dube, David Miller, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Jaydev Unadkat, Chetan Sakariya, Mustafizur Rahman, Andrew Tye, Shreyas Gopal, Liam Livingstone, KC Cariappa, Mahipal Lomror, Mayank Markande, Anuj Rawat, Kartik Tyagi, Kuldip Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Akash Singh

IPL 2021, Live Cricket Score, Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS): Arshdeep Singh, who has been impressive so far today, is given the final over of the evening. Starts off with a wide delivery down the off side. Just a single off the next two deliveries as the equation comes down to 11 off 3. Samson goes downtown over the extra cover/wide long on fence for a maximum to bring the equation down to 5 off 2. Samson denies the single off the fifth ball after not quite connecting, choosing to face the last delivery with five needed. The Rajasthan skipper goes big towards the extra cover fence off the last ball, but fails to get the distance as Hooda collects the winning catch.
IPL 2021, Live Cricket Score, Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): Jamieson goes for a run when there was no chance he could up end being safe. He's back in the dugout but Mumbai would've been more happier with the wicket of AB de Villers. He takes a single off the last ball and keeps strike. RCB need seven runs in the final over. Don't go anywhere!
