Is this a winning total posted by the Royals?

3:45pm So Chris Morris refuses to have a bad day in the IPL. The first time this season that's he's gone for more than 6 an over, but he's taken four wickets. Not quite the same story for some of his team-mates today. Udana in particular had a bad afternoon and Chahal's last over went for a bit after he had started well. RCB did well to pull things back after Rajasthan's start, aided by Uthappa's taking to the powerplay after a long wait to open the innings. His innings set things up but two wickets in two balls seemed to have dragged Royals back to similar terriroty. But Smith was lower in the order today and with the determination to bat right through. His 57 both held the innings together and contributed to the big finish. 178 is a lot to bowl at. See you shortly for the chase.

Tasmeem: "Smith wasn't backing his normal game past few matches, trying too many things completely unlike himself. It was a matter of time he went back to basics and you can see the results immediately."
