Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Mumbai Indians by 54 runs

Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai

So, that is it from this game! It was indeed a Super Sunday! Kolkata lose their first game of the second phase, Chennai continue their winning run. Mumbai are still winless after the resumption and Bangalore end their losing streak. The Indian T20 League action though continues on Monday as Hyderabad take on Rajasthan. That game begins at 1800 local and 1400 GMT. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Glenn Maxwell wins the Man of the Match award. He says it was a nice day. They did really well throughout the game. Mentions he has worked a lot of his reverse paddles and it is paying off right now. Also says, they had a Covid-jersey to make a contribution for the people to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Virat Kohli, the Bangalore skipper, says that it was a difficult start but they have made a good comeback. Adds that Bharat played some amazing shots. States that Maxwell was unbelievable and they felt that it was a par score. Adds that Mumbai bowled really well. Says that all the bowlers were really good. Says that they need to get into the bowler's space as well. Says that there are no complaints with the ball but they left 15-20 runs with the bat and they need to bat better in the middle overs. Goes onto say that ABD and Maxwell told him to go with his gut feeling and he felt like bowling Christian and he bowled an amazing over.

Harshal Patel is up for a chat. He says, he just hoped the batters does not see his slower balls. Mentions, the option to bluff the big man Pollard was always on the cards and it worked brilliantly for them. Adds that the way Siraj started, he set the tempo for them. Also says that Chahal and Maxwell did well to turn the game into their favour.

Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, says that it was a fantastic bowling effort as they pulled things back really well as they were looking at a 180 plus score. Tells that their batters let them down. Goes onto say they have had a good chat with all the batters and they need to make sure that they carry on. States that Bangalore kept the pressure on them and never gave anything easy. Tells that they have come back from here in the past and they can do it again. Says that Ishan Kishan is a talented player and they need to provide him with the freedom but at the same time, it comes with a sort of responsibility as well. Adds that they gave him the full license and they need to make sure that he keeps his head held high.

Stay tuned for the Presentation ceremony!!!

Earlier in the day, after electing to field, Mumbai were not that great with the ball, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Srikar Bharat all came to the fore but Mumbai did really well to pull things back and keep them down to below 170. However, that proved to be a lot of runs as Chahal, Maxwell and Patel did wonders with the ball.

The likes of Kyle Jamieson, Mohammed Siraj and Dan Christian leaked a lot of runs in the Powerplay. The spinners though, Maxwell and Chahal turned the game back into Bangalore's favour. The two finished with combined figures of 8-0-34-5 and then at the death, Harshal did what he did last time around against Mumbai. Finished with a four-fer along with a Hat-Trick. Kohli can be really proud of his bowlers.

The chase though began brilliantly for Mumbai as de Kock and Rohit got them off to a flier. They looked in control of the run chase before the spinners were got into the attack. The game then changed from there. No middle order batter contributed a lot and the intent was also lacking. Whenever one looked to play a big shot, he lost his wicket. No one other than the top two managed to cross the 10-run mark and that simplifies how poor Mumbai were.

What a performance by the Bangalore bowlers! How often do we get to write this? Well, we can this time around because they were exceptional! Take a bow, Chahal, take a bow, Maxwell and take a bow, the star against Mumbai in the last fixture and in this one too, Harshal Patel. We all felt Bangalore were at least 10 or 15 short of where they should have been but they have defended it with ease.

An appeal for stumping taken upstairs. Bangalore look confident.  The UltraEdge shows no bat while the replays show that Boult is in.

Trent Boult is the last man in.

Jasprit Bumrah is the next man in.

Rahul Chahar comes out now to face the Hat-Trick ball.

Adam Milne is the next man in.

Harshal Patel returns into the attack. 2-0-11-0 are his figures so far.

Who will walk out next? It is going to Hardik Pandya.

Strategic Time-Out! This game is nicely poised! 69 is needed in 36. Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav and Pollard, these are the three batters Mumbai will be relying on. Mainly on the guy from the Windies. Bangalore know, if they get him, they will have the game in their grasp. An excellent last 6 overs await.

Review! Virat Kohli takes it upstairs with one second on the timer for an lbw review. The UltraEdge shows no bat is involved. The Ball Tracker shows the wickets are missing. The original decision of not out stands. Bangalore lose a review this time.

Kieron Pollard walks out now.

Harshal Patel comes back into the attack. His figures read 1-0-5-0 so far.

Krunal Pandya walks out at number 5.

Suryakumar Yadav is the next man in.

Rohit Sharma looks in lot of pain here. The physio is out to have a look at him. He seems fine which is good news.

Ishan Kishan is the next man in.

Strategic Time-Out! Mumbai have made a terrific start to the run chase. Rohit Sharma has looked really good and is in supreme form. Quinton de Kock has also played some lovely shots too. Bangalore need to pick up wickets otherwise this game will run away from them pretty quickly. Yuzvendra Chahal is into the attack.

Harshal Patel is into the attack.

Dan Christian is into the attack.

Who will bowl from the other end? Mohammed Siraj it is.

0.1 1

Mumbai and Rohit are underway! On the pads, this is worked through square leg for one.

The chase is set to begin. Bangalore players are seen to in a huddle before they spread out to their respective fielding positions. Followed by Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma who come out to bat for Mumbai. Kyle Jamieson to start with the ball.

... The Run Chase ...

Srikar Bharat says that it is a fair total and they have a good chance. Adds that his role is pretty clear and he has to do little things right. Says that he stuck to his plan and he was enjoying it. Goes onto say that Virat told him to keep the intent on and he was doing what was required at the moment and his partnership with Kohli came out well. Adds that he enjoyed his sixes. Goes onto say that they need to bowl well and show aggression in their approach.

So, Mumbai should fancy themselves to chase this down. They have a strong batting lineup and the wicket too looks good. Bangalore bowlers have not been at their best but can they bowl well here? We will find out.

The Mumbai bowling bowled well in bits and pieces. They were poor at the start, however, the spinners did a decent job in the middle overs but the pacers then took a pounding. However, they came back strongly right towards the back end courtesy Boult and Bumrah. The latter was the pick as he ended with a three fer. Krunal Pandya and Chahar were reasonably economical. Milne though had a day to forget but he got the important wicket of Kohli. In the end, they will be pleased with their performance.

Bangalore though were good for majority of their innings! They lost Devdutt Padikkal early but then Kohli and Bharat counter-attacked and got Bangalore to safer shores. Once Bharat fell, Maxwell continued the good work. He played a few audacious shots and along with his skipper added 51 before Kohli fell just after he got to his fifty. AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell then lit up the show and when they were batting 180-plus looked possible but once they fell, there were no boundaries hit and only 9 came from the last two overs.

The last two overs have completely turned the tide in the favor of Mumbai! 180 or a little more than that looked possible before the 18th but Bangalore have fallen well short of it. Yet again they do not manage to finish on a high note.

Who will walk out next? Kyle Jamieson it is.

Trent Boult comes back into the attack to bowl the final over.

Shahbaz Ahmed walks out now.

Dan Christian walks out at number 6.

Jasprit Bumrah comes back into the attack. His figures read 2-0-17-1 so far.

AB de Villiers walks out at number 5.

Review! Rohit Sharma decides to take it upstairs for LBW. The UltraEdge shows no bat is involved. The Ball Tracker shows that the ball is pitching outside leg. Glenn Maxwell survives and Mumbai lose a review here.

Time-Out! Bangalore lost Bharat who was looking pretty good in the middle. But Maxwell did well to replicate his innings and has managed to support Kohli well in the middle. The run flow had dried up initially, but these two batters have counter-attacked really well. Mumbai, on the other hand, have leaked a few runs in the middle overs and look to be in some trouble. They would look to chip more wickets at regular intervals to make inroads in the game.

Adam Milne is back into the attack.

Glenn Maxwell walks out to bat!

Strategic Time-Out! Bangalore have made a good start after losing Devdutt Padikkal early. Virat Kohli has shown intent and is looking really good at the moment. Srikar Bharat would look to get going now. Mumbai, on the other hand, have bowled well with Bumrah doing a decent job. They would look to take quick wickets and peg Bangalore back. Rahul Chahar is into the attack as well.

An appeal for run out taken upstairs. Srikar Bharat is the man in question. Bharat is in though. Not out is the signal.

Krunal Pandya is into the attack.

Adam Milne comes into the attack now.

Srikar Bharat is the next man in.

Who will bowl from the other end? Jasprit Bumrah it is.

We are done with the pre-match formalities and we are all set to begin the game! The Mumbai players stride out to the middle, followed by Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal. In the first game of the day, Chennai have beaten Kolkata off the last ball and they move to the top of the table again as they have a better net run rate than Delhi.

Bangalore (Playing XI) - Virat Kohli (C), Devdutt Padikkal, Srikar Bharat (WK), Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, Shahbaz Ahmed (In place of Navdeep Saini), Dan Christian (In place of Wanindu Hasaranga), Kyle Jamieson (In place of Tim David), Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Mumbai (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Quinton de Kock (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya (In place of Saurabh Tiwary), Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Adam Milne, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult.

Virat Kohli, the Bangalore skipper, says that they would have bowled first as it looks like a hard wicket. Adds that they had a team chat today and they have made mistakes in the previous two games. Tells that they need to have belief that they can play expressive cricket and they know what they can do as a side. States that Mumbai are the strongest side in the tournament has seen over the last few years. Says that they are a difficult side to beat and they have had some nice encounters in the last few years. Informs that they have 3 changes as Navdeep Saini is replaced by Shahbaz Ahmed, Dan Christian comes in for Wanindu Hasaranga and Kyle Jamieson comes back in for Tim David.

Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, says that they will bowl first. Adds that score in front will be ideal for them and they will look to chase the score down. Tells that every game they will play is important and they will not look too far ahead. States that they need to tick the correct boxes. Adds that Hardik is very passionate and he is playing tonight, he is coming back from the injury which is a big boost for the side. Informs that Hardik Pandya replaces Saurabh Tiwary.

Toss - Up goes the coin and it lands in favour of Mumbai. They have elected to bowl.

Mumbai, on the other hand, have had the same issues in the second leg. Their batting has been far too inconsistent and they need to sort out their issues. They have a good record against Bangalore and they would hope that they can play their best game here. Hardik Pandya did not play the first two games and it would be interesting to see if he returns to the XI to bolster their line-up.

Bangalore's batting has to step up! Their middle order has failed to get going this season, with the likes of AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell, not being able to replicate the form they showed in the first leg. They did bring in Tim David in the last game but he too failed to get going. Everyone knows that if these three get going, Bangalore can be a dangerous side and they will hope today is the day, they get back to form. We will have to wait and see.

Hello and welcome to game number 39 of the Indian T20 League. In this game, Mumbai will be locking horns against Bangalore. Both the teams are desperate for the two points. They have been not up to the mark since the restart. Bangalore though still find themselves in the top half of the table, unlike Mumbai who saw themselves slip down to the sixth spot after their defeat against Kolkata. Who will come out on top? Which team will break their winless streak?
