We are back for the chase! The Bangalore bowlers have done pretty well in their previous games. Can they do the same today? Shikhar Dhawan and Alex Hales will open for Hyderabad. Umesh Yadav will get Bangalore underway. Let's play!

Rashid Khan was the pick of the bowlers for Hyderabad and bamboozled the batsmen with his variations. He finished with proud figures of 4-0-27-3. However, the rest of the bowlers traveled the distance. There were some moments of brilliance in the field but there were some errors as well. The runs kept leaking and terrific cameos from Colin de Grandhomme and Sarfaraz Khan ensured that the home side went past the 200-run mark. The visitors have a big task on their hand and the Bangalore boys will be backing themselves as they had bundled out Punjab for 88 in their previous game. Join us shortly for the chase.

What a brilliant batting display from Bangalore! They were up for the challenge from the word go and have given themselves a big cushion. Though the hosts lost two pretty quick wickets, Kohli included, de Villiers was in his elements today and kept on finding the boundaries at will. He gave the momentum to his side and found an able ally in Moeen Ali. They stitched a 107-run stand, with both going past their fifties in the process. It gave a launching pad to the batsmen to follow.
