Late fireworks from Rahul Tewatia (24 not out off 12 balls) and a fine knock from Mahipal Lomroro (47 runs) helped Rajasthan Royal recover from early blows and set a 155-run target for Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi. Rajasthan Royals started positively, with Jos Buttler striking the ball well. However, RCB bowlers came back strongly to dismiss three top-order players in quick succession,, pushing them on the backfoot. Isuru Udana dismissed Steve Smith to hand RCB the first breakthrough. Navdeep Saini struck off his very first delivery to end Jos Buttler’s mini-onslaught who departed after scoring 22 off 12 balls. Kohli introduced Yuzvendra Chahal in the next over and he delivered immediately, removing dangerous Sanju Samson to further derail the Rajasthan innings. Mahipal Lomror, playing his first match of the season, made an immediate impact, scoring 47 runs. However, none of the batsman could lend him the support he needed and he eventually fell three short of his fifty trying to up the ante. Earlier, Steve Smith won the toss and decided to bat against RCB in Abu Dhabi. RR made one change to their playing XI, with Ankit Rajpoot making way for Mahipal Lomror, while RCB decided to keep the same playing XI for first afternoon game of the season. (LIVE SCORECARD)
