Wriddhiman Saha, elevated to open the batting, took the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowlers aback, getting five fours and a six in the initial two overs played by Mitchell Starc and Sreenath Aravind. Saha tumbled off the first wad of the third over knocked down some pins by David Weise in the wake of scoring a 12-ball 31 and the group lost its direction a bit from there on. Manan Vohra, Glenn Maxwell, David Miller, George Bailey all came to twofold digits yet the most astounding score among them was 14. Lords XI Punjab had Axar Patel to thank for an aggressive score.
