A tight over by Cariappa once again and another drop catch once again, this time by the wicketkeeper. Cariappa looks extremely disappointed.

A good over by MG Naveen, conceding just 5 runs. The Tigers could afford this, given the fact that the RRR is just 6 per over.

A decent over overall, with 8 runs coming off that. The Bulls, however, are in desperate need of a wicket here.

A brilliant start by Cariappa, conceding just 1 run. A loud LBW shout in the last delivery which was not given by the umpire. Cariappa is in disbelief.

Another good over for the batting side. Taha is looking extremely dangerous and it looks like that drop catch is going to cost the Bulls big time.

A good over by Faroouqui. He should have got his man in the first ball, however, Abbas dropped a sitter at deep square leg.

Tigers 28-0 after 3 overs

Another good over for the batting side, with Abhishek getting into his stride now. Will the Tigers run away with this one?

Tigers 21-0 after 2 overs

Just the perfect start for Hubli while chasing a low total, a couple of early boundaries for Taha, who is looking in good touch.

Tigers 12-0 after 1 over
