Narine sent RCB into a state of alarm by cleng up Shahbaz Ahmed for just one. Half of the RCB line-up was in the hut for 61/5.Michael Bracewell and Dinesh Karthik tried to bring RCB back into the match by stabilising the innings, but Shardul Thakur added to his batting heroics by dismissing the Kiwi all-rounder for 19 off 18 balls.
