CSK captain MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to bowl first. His decision, however, was not justified by the CSK bowlers as they struggled to make an early impact. Bethell gave RCB a brilliant start by hitting Khaleel Ahmed for three fours in a row in the very first over.
However, Ravindra Jadeja and Matheesha Pathirana ended up colliding into each other while going for the catch and dropped it. Pathirana had to leave the field after the collision, but did not take long to return to action. By the time the powerplay came to an end, RCB had raced away to 71 for no loss.
Bethell made the most of the start and went on to complete his maiden IPL fifty. He reached the milestone with a four in the 9th over. With both Bethell and Kohli well set, CSK needed something special to break the partnership, and Dewald Brevis rose to the occasion.
The RCB opener, however, could not make a good connection and ended up getting a top-edg,e although the ball was looking destined to fall in the no-man's land in the square leg region. However, Dewald Brevis had other ideas. The South African youngster charged in and dived forward to pull off an absolute stunner.
Watch the catch from Dewald Brevis:
