RCB Innings - 20th Over

Harshal Patel and ABD picked off 4 runs from 3 deliveries and then as they looked to steal a quick 2, ABD was run out by some sharp fielding from Krunal Pandya in the deep.

RCB Innings - 19th Over

ABD then took the attack to Bumrah off the first ball itself, smashing a low full toss inside out over extra cover for a boundary before taking a quick 2 off the next as Rohit and Bumrah took stock. That didn’t help though as ABD guided the short one over short third man for another boundary. Bumrah, uncharacteristically, conceded 12 runs and ran out Jamieson for 4. RCB need 7 more to win off the final over with AB on strike.

With backs to the wall ABD welcomed Boult with a 6 straight back over his head and then proceeded to make it a 15 run over with the help of a boundary straight back past the bowler later in the over.

RCB Innings - 17th Over

Bumrah - as he always does - struck in mid way through the over when Dan Christian cut was sharply cut by Rahul Chahar at backward point.

Rohit turned to Boult in the final over of the Powerplay and Patidar greeted him with a deft late dab to third man for a boundary.

Kohli with a bit of leading edge picked up four through mid-off and finished the over with a dot as RCB were 10/0.

MI Innings - 17th Over

Looking to MI from getting away, Siraj started off with a wide before Kishan whacked him to deep backward square, where Sundar misjudged one and the southpaw picked up 4.

MI Innings - 15th Over

Christian was brought back into the attack after that and Hardik greeted him with whack right back over his head, which could have hurt the bowler’s hands a fair bit if he had caught it. Christian bowled a couple of dots as well and conceded four more in the form of singles and a two which took MI to 128/3.

MI Innings - 14th Over

Chahal was looking to finish his spell with a good over, but Kishan took the attack to him - smashing him over his head for 6 and then through third man region for a boundary. Along with Hardik, Kishan made it a 15-run over for MI who were 120/3.

MI Innings - 13th Over

He finished the over with a dot as MI were 105/3.

MI Innings - 12th Over

Siraj was brought into the attack for his 3rd over and he bowled a tidy over conceding just four singles to Ishan Kishan and Lynn. He almost had the wicket of Lynn too but his uppish drive to mid-off was just short of the diving Jamieson. MI were 98/2 after 12.

MI Innings - 11th Over

Jamieson came back into the attack for his third and started the over well before Suryakumar picked it up from in the slot over cow corner for another six.

MI Innings - 10th Over

Kohli turned to Chahal after the drinks break and Suryakumar Yadav was more than happy to take a single of the second ball and hand over strike to Lynn. The ace Indian spinner though kept Lynn quiet and almost had his number off the final delivery as he caught the edge with a big spinning leg break but it was short of short third. Mumbai were 86/1.

MI Innings - 9th Over

Dan Christian took over after that and was picked away for boundaries by both Suryakumar and Lynn in an over that gave Mumbai 13 runs, pushing the score to 83/1 after 9 overs.

MI Innings - 8th Over

Lynn then rounded off the over with a single, making it a 15-run one, pushing the score 70/1 after 8 overs.

MI Innings - 7th Over

MI Innings - 4th Over

Yuzvendra Chahal was introduced into the attack in the 4th over and Lynn, who didn’t pick the googly off the second delivery, picked a streaky boundary before giving strike to Rohit, who then smashed Chahal for a 6.

MI Innings - 3rd Over

Mohammed Siraj bowled a tidy third over as well, keeping Rohit quiet for the first four deliveries before the opener’s drive over mid-on was just over Jamieson and raced away for a boundary. Rohit completed the over with a couple through midwicket. Mumbai were 12/0 after 3 overs.
