David Warner: “As I said at the toss, you need one or two batsmen to stay there till the end and we failed to do that... it hurts.”

After 5 overs, RCB are 36/1: SIX! First maximum of the night and it comes from Shahbaz Ahmed’s bat! Shahbaz Nadeem joins the attack and errs in line, the left-hander gets into position quickly and plays a terrific scoop shot for six. Ten runs come from that over.
