Not a great evening with the ball for the defending champions. They seemed to pull things back with the wickets of Wolvaardt and Hemalatha but once Gardner entered the equation, RCB had no answers. Wareham conceding 50 in three overs perhaps summed up their evening and they now have a mountain to climb. Join us in a bit for the chase!

9:06pm Wow. That Gardner innings was, well, special, and might have made you run out of superlatives too. She walked in at number four, which may have raised a few eyebrows, given the presence of Deol and Dottin, but she owned that spot, and the innings thereafter. Everything seemed to find the middle of the bat and she seemed a step ahead of the bowlers at all times. Prior to that, Mooney had done her bit, rattling along to a 42-ball 56. Dottin also highlighted the destruction she can cause with a timely 25-run cameo.

Gujarat have breached the 200 mark. At one point it seemed even 150 would be tough. But the first time-out happened and then Mooney changed gears. She fell after her fifty. But Gardner decided to take the baton forward and she was dismissive. She went on a boundary hitting spree. Any ball in her arc disappeared. She was just too hot to handle. Mandhana rang in the changes but a few dropped chances didn't help her cause. Dottin also played a cameo and that meant the mark which was a distant dream was achieved off the last ball. This is going to be a tall chase for the RCB unit. We will be back in 10 minutes.
