Sandeep is back on the attack. It started with a ball wide. AB saw the width of the first ball, was behind her, but only for a single to deep cover. Gayle hit the second ball towards wide long on the other single. AB hit the third ball to long on one. Sandeep came around the counter and rolled another wide, this time to Gayle. He bowled a short ball to Gayle that was by force, not time well and climbed behind the window. That is the gate Punjab wanted! Mandeep Singh is the next man in. Sandeep offered a long ball Mandeep punched through covers for a boundary.
Bangalore, however, are in great shape and two of his world-class batsmen – AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli mocked the Indian bowling attack Mumbai and showed what a powerhouse batting are in the tournament. In the bowling department, the only concern would be the form of RCB their Indian pacemakers and if put in place, Bangalore will have a great chance to win their first IPL title.
RCB is the only team in the tournament are yet to play three games and a win against Punjab would lead to third place in the points table. If they manage to win with a good delivery rate, which could rise to second place, ahead of defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders.
