| 0.3 : 0.3: J Behrendorff to V Kohli, FOUR! What a way to get off the mark. Kohli is up and running. Behrendorff misses his line and and bowls it on the pads, Kohli accepts the invitation and flicks it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 2.1 : 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. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: J Behrendorff to P Patel, FOUR! In the air... and just over. Parthiv gets his first boundary of the evening. Not out of the middle but he will take it. Full length ball on middle and leg, Parthiv flicks it over mid on. Rohit there jumps but cannot reach it and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: J Behrendorff to P Patel, FOUR! FETCH THAT! A short ball, outside off, Parthiv freely swings across the line and swats it over mid-wicket for a boundary! |
| 4.3 : 4.3: J Behrendorff to P Patel, SIX! Almost a spectacular catch! Full marks to the effort there. Full and outside off, Parthiv flicks it towards deep mid-wicket. The ball goes at the rate of knotts and Ishan Kishan runs to his right and leaps but the ball bursts through his fingers past the ropes. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: J Behrendorff to P Patel, FOUR! Nicely done! Outside off, on a length, Patel waits for the ball to come to him, arches his back and guides it over first slip and short third man for a boundary! |
| 4.5 : 4.5: J Behrendorff to P Patel, EDGY FOUR! The boundaries have flown like a river in this over. Not a great shot but Bangalore and Parthiv will take this. Outside off, angling away, PP looks to flick but the ball goes off the leading edge, past short third man and into the boundary behind! |
| 5.4 : 5.4: J Bumrah to de Villiers, FOUR! This time he connects his slap and connects hard. Good length ball around off, de Villiers makes no mistake and crunches it over cover-point for a boundary! |
| 6.6 : 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. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: R Chahar to de Villiers, FOUR! That is an AB special. Full and outside off, de Villiers gently reverse paddles it past short third man. |
| 8.3: H Pandya to de Villiers, FOUR! Off the inside edge! Bangalore will take whatever they get at the moment. Outside off, on a length, de Villiers is in two minds, whether to play or leave and the indecision induces an inside edge. Luckily for him, the ball goes past the stumps to the fine leg fence. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: R Chahar to M Ali, SIX! Effortless! Flighted on middle and leg, Moeen easily flicks it over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: H Pandya to de Villiers, SIX! Off the top edge! Another lucky escape for AB. Short and outside off, de Villiers looks to pull but gets a top edge which goes over the fence behind! |
| 12.3: L Malinga to de Villiers, SIX! HAMMERED! That has gone into orbit. Short and outside off, AB rocks back and pulls it over square leg for half a dozen! |
| 13.2 : 13.2: R Chahar to de Villiers, FOUR! De Villiers brings out the reverse sweep and connects it well towards the backward point region for a boundary. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: R Chahar to M Ali, SIX! In the air...and just over. Flighted on off and middle, Moeen takes his front leg away from the line and lofts it over long off. Surykumar Yadav runs to his right but does not jump. The ball just about goes over him for a maximum. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: K Pandya to M Ali, SIX! Full and around off, Moeen swings this over long on for a biggie! 33 from the last 3 overs. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: J Behrendorff to M Ali, FOUR! Full on off, Moeen slaps it through covers. Ishan Kishan in the deep puts in a dive to save the boundary but misses. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: J Behrendorff to M Ali, SIX! Don't bother looking, this one is out of here. Back of a length ball on middle and off, Moeen gets on his back foot and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence over the ropes for a maximum. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: J Behrendorff to M Ali, SIX! 17 runs off it, just what Bangalore wanted. The last ball is full on off, Moeen takes the aerial route and heaves it over covers for a maximum. Not the way Behrendorff would have wanted to end. He finishes with the figures of 4-0-49-1. |
| 17.1 : 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. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: L Malinga to de Villiers, SIX! Not a bad ball at all, but this is all class from AB. He walks across his stumps and Malinga looks to fire it down the leg side. It turns out to be a full toss but AB still connects with his paddle, lapping it over fine leg, right onto the third tier! |
| 17.5 : 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. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: J Bumrah to de Villiers, FOUR! Another AB special. Low full toss outside off, AB backs away and crunches this wide of mid off for a boundary. Nothing wrong with the ball. Bumrah missed his length by just an inch or two. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: J Bumrah to de Villiers, FOUR! Another wonderful ball and that has been dispatched too! Very full outside off, de Villiers drives it through the covers and the ball races away again! |
| 19.1 : 19.1: L Malinga to de Villiers, SIX! That one is out of here and into the stands. Full toss on middle, AB de Villiers smokes this into the mid-wicket stand for a maximum. |
| 19.2 : 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 ha |
| 19.3 : 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 an |
| 19.5 : 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. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: U Yadav to de Kock, FOUR! De Kock is off the mark and in some style. Full on middle, de Kock lofts it over the mid on fielder for a boundary. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: U Yadav to de Kock, FOUR! Poor bowling this from Umesh. With no fielder in the fine leg region. Umesh bowls it short on the body, de Kock guides it in his way towards fine leg for a boundary. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: N Saini to R Sharma, SIX! First six of the innings and Rohit Sharma is off the mark with a maximum. Shorter ball from Saini, Rohit gets on his back foot and pulls it away over fine leg for a maximum. |
| 2.1: U Yadav to de Kock, FOUR! Glorious cover drive from de Kock. Deserved a boundary and got it as well. Full outside off, de Kock gets on his front foot and drives it for a boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: U Yadav to de Kock, FOUR! Luck just not going Bangalore's way. Full length delivery outside off, de Kock looks to go over the on side but gets a thick outside edge over the slip fielder for a boundary. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: U Yadav to de Kock, SIX! This no luck and pure timing from de Kock. Back of a length ball on middle. De Kock picks the length early and whacks his pull over the fine leg fence for a mammoth six. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: M Siraj to R Sharma, SIX! It is raining sixes here in Mumbai and these two are going after the Bangalore attack. Back of a length ball outside off, Rohit slashes it over the point fence for a maximum. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: M Siraj to R Sharma, FOUR! End of another expensive over for Bangalore. 12 runs off Siraj's first. Back of a length ball outside off, Rohit slaps it over covers for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Y Chahal to de Kock, FOUR! Poor bowling, superb shot. Full and down the leg side, de Kock gets down and sweeps it over the gap at short fine leg and square leg for a boundary! |
| 5.2 : 5.2: N Saini to R Sharma, FOUR! Full outside off, in the Powerplay over. It is an invitation for Sharma to show his classy cover drive. He does it and drives it through covers for a boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: N Saini to de Kock, SIX! Pulled and pulled away for a biggie. Good length delivery on middle and off, Quinton picks it early and smokes it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 7.1 : 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. |
| 7.4 : 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. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: P Negi to I Kishan, SIX! It is turning too much so Kishan decides the best way to tackle the spinners is to go after it. He comes down the track and lofts it straight into the sightscreen for a maximum. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: P Negi to I Kishan, SIX! Two in a row! Ishan Kishan is not backing away and has decided to take on the spinner. He comes down the track and lofts it over the mid-wicket region for another maximum. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: M Ali to S Yadav, SIX! Classic shot. Plenty of flight from Moeen and Surya is happy. Leans and lofts this from outside off, against the turn and all the way over sweeper cover! |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Y Chahal to I Kishan, SIX! Ishan just loves playing the spinners. He will attack them no matter how much it is turning. Floated on middle, Ishan Kishan comes down the track and lofts it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 10.3 : 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 does not even bother seeing back because he was too far ahead. The umpires go upstairs to see whether Parthiv collected the ball in front of the stump. Replays roll in and show everyt |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Y Chahal to K Pandya, FOUR! On the leg side, Pandya plays the paddle, Siraj gives it a chase and tries to stop it with a dive. He cannot do so though and the ball goes to the fence. 11 runs and a wicket off the over. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Y Chahal to S Yadav, FOUR! Excellently played. Suryakumar Yadav knows where exactly the fielder are. It is a tossed up ball on middle and off, Suryakumar Yadav gets on one knee and sweeps it behind square for a boundary. |
| 14.2: P Negi to S Yadav, FOUR! Poor bowling. A long hop, outside off, Surya goes back and cuts it behind point for a boundary! |
| 15.3 : 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. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: N Saini to H Pandya, FOUR! Not the way Saini would have liked to start the over. But definitely the way Mumbai wanted to start. Back of a length ball outside off, Hardik slaps it away over point for a boundary. The umpire goes upstairs to see whether the ball bounced before or on the ropes. Replays show that it was just inside the rope and the umpire signals it as a boundary. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: N Saini to H Pandya, DROPPED AND FOUR! Has Southee dropped the match here? Full length ball outside off, Hardik looks to heave it over mid off. He mistimes it and the ball goes high in the air. Tim Southee runs behind and looks to catch it with a dive. He gets his hand to it but cannot hold onto it. The ball then goes on the ropes. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: M Siraj to H Pandya, FOUR! Easy peasy for Hardik. A short ball, outside off, Hardik smashes it over the bowler. One bounce and into the fence. |
| 17.5 : 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... |
| 18.2 : 18.2: P Negi to H Pandya, SIX! Up, up and away! How much power does he generate through that bottom hand? Outside off, Hardik goes hard and swings cleanly through the line. High and handsome over long on. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: P Negi to H Pandya, FOUR! Crunched! Flatter outside off, Hardik flat bats it through covers for a boundary. Only 12 required off 9 balls now. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: P Negi to H Pandya, FOUR! This might just be the last over. Flighted on off, Hardik slog sweeps it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: P Negi to H Pandya, SIX! Only a couple required now. This is ruthless from Hardik. Floated on off, Hardik smokes it over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. |
