Royal Challengers Bangalore

c b 28 20 4 1 140

6.6

H Pandya to P Patel, OUT! Soft dismissal! Parthiv has to depart and he will surely be disappointed with that. Bangalore in big trouble here. They have lost their second. Hardik strikes in his very first over. Back of a length ball on off, Parthiv gets on his back foot and drives it uppishly towards point. The ball goes straight to Suryakumar Yadav there, who does not move an inch and takes an easy catch.

c b 8 9 1 0 88.89

2.1

J Behrendorff to V Kohli, OUT! Caught behind! Behrendorff gets the Bangalore skipper. What a terrific delivery to a great batsman. Mumbai get the wicket they wanted. The big one. On a length around off, Kohli looks to drive straight but the ball comes in a long way and takes a thin inside edge. De Kock collects and does not even celebrate, just throwing the ball in the air. Kohli walks anyways as Behrendorff appeals. The choke works.

19.2

L Malinga to de Villiers, OUT! Brilliant from Pollard in the field. This can be the difference in the match. Bangalore needed to AB to play most balls of the last over but he goes out in the very second ball. Full outside off, de Villiers plays it wide of long on and looks for two. De Villiers was off for the second but Akshdeep Nath sends him back. Pollard from the deep has a shy at the bowler's end. He hits bull's eye. AB looks unhappy and replays show why. He is out of his crease and has to go back. Should Akshdeep Nath have sacrificed his wicket?

c Hardik Pandya b 50 32 1 5 156.25

17.1

L Malinga to M Ali, OUT! The 95-run stand is broken and more importantly for Mumbai a new batsman will come in. Bangalore needed Moeen to play through but he cannot do so. Slower delivery on middle and leg, Moeen looks to go over mid-wicket but the lack of pace does him and he hits it straight to Hardik Pandya at deep mid-wicket.

c b Lasith Malinga 0 2 0 0 0

17.5

L Malinga to M Stoinis, OUT! Malinga gets his second of the over and Marcus Stoinis departs for a duck. He has been outdone here by a very clever bowler. It is bowled at 119.3 kph on a length on middle and leg. Stoinis looks to flick but is way too early in his shot. He gets a leading edge which goes straight to Rohit Sharma at cover who makes no mistake.

c Quinton de Kock b Lasith Malinga 2 3 0 0 66.67

19.3

L Malinga to A Nath, OUT! Two in two for Mumbai and that is a stunning catch from Quinton de Kock! Virat Kohli just walks back into the dressing room after seeing that - shot or effort, cannot say. Nath comes down the track a month too early and Malinga is experienced enough to bowl a slower one. Akshdeep has a wild swing and only gets a top edge. It was actually a simple catch for short fine leg but Quinton de Kock called for it, ran all the way to square leg, kept his eyes on the ball and then dived to take a stunner!

c Quinton de Kock b Lasith Malinga 0 2 0 0 0

19.5

L Malinga to P Negi, OUT! Third wicket in the over! A length ball outside off, Negi swings hard but only gets a top edge. An easier catch for de Kock this time, running to his left again, now point.

Mumbai Indians

b 40 26 5 2 153.85

7.4

M Ali to de Kock, OUT! LBW! Second wicket in the over and Moeen has got both the openers. This is the quicker one. The one which goes with the arm. Landed on middle, de Kock goes back to work it through the leg side, looking to play for the turn but the ball goes straight through. Beats the bat, hits him on the pads and umpire Erasmus raised his finger quickly.

b Moeen Ali 28 19 2 2 147.37

7.1

M Ali to R Sharma, OUT! Cleaned up! Gone right through. Moeen strikes to give the first break for Bangalore. Can they find any rhythm from this? Sharp, sharp turn again. Outside off, Rohit goes back to cut but the ball spins in a furlong and goes past the inside edge to hit the middle stump! Not a big knock from Rohit but this 70-run stand has kept Mumbai on top. 102 more needed from 77 balls.

c b 29 23 2 1 126.09

15.3

Y Chahal to S Yadav, OUT! Suryakumar Yadav holes out. Chahal with the breakthrough. Bangalore needed wicket and they have got it. They have not given Mumbai easy runs and the pressure has got to Suryakumar Yadav. Flighted delivery on off, Suryakumar Yadav tries to take the charge and go downtown. He gets a lot of height on it but it goes wide of long off. Navdeep Saini there settles under it and takes a very good catch in front of the ropes. 43 needed off 27 deliveries now.

b Yuzvendra Chahal 21 9 0 3 233.33

10.3

Y Chahal to I Kishan, OUT! Chahal has the last laugh! Ishan Kishan overcooks his idea of coming down the track and attacking the spinner. Chahal shows his class and tosses it up outside off, Ishan Kishan once again comes down the track to hit but misses and Parthiv Patel behind the stumps does the rest. Ishan tries to get back in but he is way too short. The umpires go upstairs to check. Replays roll in and show everything was good and Kishan has to walk back. Probably a touch needless, given that he just hit a six on the previous ball.

Krunal Pandya c b 11 21 1 0 52.38

17.5

M Siraj to K Pandya, OUT! Siraj gets his first of the match and just what a time to get it! Good length delivery on middle. Siraj takes the pace off the ball. Krunal looks to flick it over mid-wicket but chips it towards cow corner. Substitute Milind Kumar there comes running in and takes a very good catch. Will that help Bangalore or Mumbai? Krunal's wicket will not hurt Mumbai much...
