Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are at 98 for seven after 15 overs against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014. Yuvraj Singh has been dismissed by Rishi Dhawan for 35. Mitchell Starc is batting on four and Varun Aaron is on zero. Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Yogesh Takawale, Parthi Patel, AB de Villiers and Albie Morkel are the batsmen to have been dismissed. Punjab captain George Bailey won the toss and sent Bangalore into bat. Chris Gayle has come back in the Royal Challengers Bangalore line-up. He replaces fellow West Indies cricketer Ravi Rampaul. Varun Aaron comes in for Sachin Rana for Bangalore. Punjab named an unchanged XI from their win in the last match.

Rishi Dhawan then struck in his first over by dismissing de Villiers. He bowled one on a back of a length and de Villiers cut the ball to Maxwell at backward-point. He departed for 17 off 15 deliveries. The field placements from Baily were good. Albie Morkel cut a wide delivery from Dhawan, but the deep point fielder cut out the boundary. Maxwell came back in the attack to bowl the 13th over. Morkel bent down on one knee and launched one high over deep mid-wicket for a six. Yuvraj then swept a full delivery over square-leg for a four.

But the revival was halted by Balaji as Morkel inside-edged a length delivery onto the stumps in the 14th over. He played a flat-batted shot but also across the line and edged the ball. Morkel was out for 15 off 14 deliveries. Yuvraj soon followed as he pulled a short delivery from Dhawan straight to David Miller at deep mid-wicket. Yuvraj was dismissed for 35 off 32 deliveries with three fours and one six.
