Commentary

Right then! That is it from the coverage of this game! The action does not stop here, as we have another double-header lined up on Sunday, 10th April. The first game of the day sees a clash between Delhi and Kolkata which will begin at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). The second clash of the day will see Rajasthan locking horns with Lucknow. This fixture will commence at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). We look forward to your company for both these games and make sure you tune in early for the build-up. Till then, cheers and goodbye!

Anuj Rawat is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his knock of 66 runs off just 47 balls. He says, it feels great to contribute to the team in a winning cause. Adds that he was following his process and kept things simple. Tells that the senior players have given him a lot of confidence and he feels good to be playing alongside Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis.

Faf du Plessis, the victorious skipper, says that Mumbai is a strong team and it feels good to win against them. Tells that they would have taken 151 any day. Mentions that there was something for the bowlers with the new ball. Tells that Rohit Sharma played some good shots and it was a valuable wicket for them. Says that Akash Deep was excellent with the ball in this game. Adds that it was a brilliant bowling performance. Informs that he spoke to Anuj Rawat before the start of the tournament and he has immense talent.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says that he thought that the combination of two overseas players would be ideal. Tells that they chose the best from what they had. Says that he wanted to bat long but got out at the wrong time. Tells that four losses on the trot is hurting them a bit. Informs that it is definitely not a 150 pitch and credits Suryakumar Yadav for his excellent knock. Informs that Suryakumar Yadav showed them that if one can bat sensibly, it is possible to get runs. Adds that they want to bat deep and if there are runs on the board then there's something for the bowlers too. Ends by saying that he has spoken of collective performances both with the bat and ball, and once that comes through, they will start seeing the results.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Wanindu Hasaranga is up for a quick chat. He says that he is happy with his rhythm. Mentions that normally his googlies turn a little more than his leg-spin so he loves to bowl it. Tells that they have a lot of good talent and is ready to take his chance with the bat whenever he gets an opportunity.

Mumbai were denied early breakthroughs but it was Jaydev Unadkat who got rid of Bangalore's skipper in the 9th over. However, they leaked runs once Anuj Rawat and Virat Kohli got their eye in and failed to get wickets in the middle overs. Mumbai's bowlers weren't bad but they failed to put consistent pressure on the batters. They did get rid of Anuj Rawat at the backend, courtesy of some brilliant fielding from Ramandeep Singh. Dewald Brevis got the prized scalp of Virat Kohli and gave his team something to cheer for. In the end, one will have to say that Mumbai were certainly 15-20 runs short, in spite of Suryakumar Yadav's heroics with the bat.

Bangalore started steadily in the Powerplay and the opening stand of 50 ensured that were keeping up with the required rate. Faf du Plessis perished but Rawat carried on in his merry way and played with great maturity. Virat Kohli batted well alongside Rawat and they stitched together a partnership of 80 runs. Even though Bangalore lost a couple of wickets at the backend, the damage had already been done by Rawat and Kohli. Dinesh Karthik and Glenn Maxwell provided the finishing touches and made sure that there aren't any more hiccups for them.

A comfortable victory in the end for Bangalore, they make it three wins in a row! Mumbai on the other hand, have suffered their fourth consecutive defeat and their hunt for a win continues. Bangalore didn't have a mountain to climb but the pair of Anuj Rawat and Virat Kohli batted smartly and never allowed Mumbai to get in the driver's seat. Had Mumbai been a bit better in the field, this game might have gone down to the wire.

18.34

FOUR! SMASHED! There it is! Maxwell finishes things off in style! A short ball, outside off. Maxwell stays back and cuts it through the cover region for a boundary. Bangalore win by 7 wickets!

18.24

FOUR! Maxwell means business! On a length, outside off. Glenn Maxwell plays the switch-hit and bags a boundary.

Glenn Maxwell walks out to bat.

18.1W

OUT! LBW! Dewald Brevis will remember this wicket for a while. His first delivery in Indian T20 League and he has got the wicket of Virat Kohli. Is there another twist in the tale? Bangalore would not hope so as they have Dinesh Karthik at the crease. Tossed up delivery from Dewald Brevis, on middle. Virat Kohli presses forward and looks to defend. He misses and gets thudded on the pads. Big appeal from Dewald Brevis and Ishan Kishan and the umpire straightaway raises his finger. Virat Kohli challenges the umpire though. UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Ball is very close to the pad so the third umpire moves onto the Ball Tracking which shows all three reds. The original decision stands. Virat Kohli doesn't like it as he thinks it was pad first but has to depart.

Dewald Brevis comes into the attack.

SIX! BOOM! Short and banged itno the pitch, on middle. Dinesh Karthik is in great form and he is not going to miss out on those. He rocks back and pulls it with some authority to deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Huge hit!

17.53

Back of a length, on middle. Virat Kohli taps it through mid-wicket and calls for two and gets it easily. A wayward throw from the fielder in the deep at the bowler's end and that allows the batters to take another run as well. Should have only been two but now it's three.

17.40

A short ball, outside off. Virat Kohli looks to hook it away but fails to get any connection. He is not at all happy with that.

17.31

Back of a length, outside off. Dinesh Karthik looks to defend. The ball goes off the inside edge to the left of Ishan Kishan for a single.

17.21

Slower ball, on leg. Virat Kohli makes room for himself and taps it to point for a single.

16.51W

OUT! RUN OUT! Length ball, on middle. Virat Kohli plays it softly to long on and sets off for a single. He calls back for the second run but Ramandeep Singh quickly collects the ball and fires a throw at the bowler's end. He hits the stumps and Mumbai appeal for a run out. Replay shows that Anuj Rawat is fraction out of his crease. Nonetheless, he has probably played a match-winning knock for his side and departs for a well-made 66. Dinesh Karthik walks out to bat.

Is that a run out? A direct hit at the bowler's end and Anuj Rawat might be in trouble. The decision has been sent upstairs. The replays show that Rawat is just short of his crease.

16.40

Length ball, around off. Virat Kohli looks to slap it through point but the ball nips back in and beats Virat Kohli on the inside edge.

16.31lb

NOT OUT! Full and on leg, Anuj Rawat moves to the off side and looks to flick but misses. He gets rapped on the pads. Jaydev Unadkat appeals for an lbw but the umpire says no. The ball deflects to the off side and the batters take a leg bye. Rohit Sharma opts for a review though. UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows that the ball is pitching outside leg. The original decision stays. Mumbai lose a review.

Review! Rohit Sharma has opted for a review for LBW. Anuj Rawat has been struck low on his pad as he has missed his flick. The UltraEdge rolls in and it confirms that there was no bat involved. The Ball Tracking indicates that the ball was pitched outside leg.

16.26

SIX! This is Anuj Rawat's sixth maximum! He is putting a show here! Length delivery, on off. Too easy for Anuj Rawat as he dances down and tonks it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. He wants to finish it quickly now.

16.10

Short of a length, outside off. Anuj Rawat slaps it to cover.

Jaydev Unadkat (3-0-22-1) is back on.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players stroll out to the middle. Anuj Rawat and Faf du Plessis walk out to open the batting for Bangalore. Faf du Plessis is on strike. Basil Thampi will open the bowling for Mumbai. Let's go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! 152 is what Bangalore need to chase and they would have taken this score at the start as they have enough firepower in their batting and top of that, Glenn Maxwell is back in the mix as well. Mumbai have made a decent recovery and the onus is on their bowlers now to do the job and get their first win of the season. Stay tuned to see how the chase unfolds...

Harshal Patel is up for a quick chat. He says that he will take 7 runs off the last over. Adds that the ball was drifting through the air and he was keeping an eye on his arm speed. Tells that it is important to maintain the arm speed. Mentions that it is a good wicket to bat on and chasing 152 shouldn't be any problem for them, if they start well in the Powerplay.

Things didn't quite go well for Bangalore at the start as the bowlers leaked some runs and found it tough to get the breakthrough but Harshal Patel did that job in his first over itself. After that, the bowlers just turned the game around and found quick wickets. They put a halt to the flow of runs after the Powerplay and capitalized on the pressure they created with regular wickets. They were in the driver's seat but will be disappointed that they let the game slip away towards the backend. It's still a chaseable total and Bangalore would be hoping to make it three wins on the trot.

Mumbai were off to a great start and enjoyed a great Powerplay as both Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma scored freely and stitched 50-runs for the opening stand. Rohit Sharma was looking very good but fell after the Powerplay. And after he fell, Mumbai started to lose wickets in heap, and from 50-1, they fell to 62-5. It all boiled down to Suryakumar Yadav and he played a lone battle to get Mumbai out of the rut. He played a gem of a knock and it is only because of his knock that Mumbai have a respectable total on the board. They might be still 15-20 runs short but given how they were after 14 overs, they would take this score any day and would be confident of defending it.

If Mumbai have reached this score, they only have Suryakumar Yadav to thank for. What an innings we have just witnessed! He has played a superb knock under pressure and has made sure to take Mumbai past 150. Bangalore bowlers were terrific with the ball but they will be disappointed that they leaked runs after taking 6 wickets at regular intervals.

19.50

A slower ball, dipping, outside off. Suryakumar Yadav looks to play it across the line but he fails to get any bat on it. This is excellent bowling from Patel.

19.40

A slower ball, into the wicket, around off. Suryakumar Yadav shuffles across and looks to scoop it over the keeper. He fails to middle it. It takes a feather and goes towards the keeper, on the bounce.

19.31

A yorker, around off. Jaydev Unadkat digs it out back past the bowler, towards long on for a single.

19.20

A bumper, outside off. Jaydev Unadkat looks to pull but he gets a bit late on his shot. The ball whizzes past his blade. Two dots in a row.

18.66

SIX! 23 runs off the over! This is a very full ball, well outside off. Suryakumar Yadav reaches out and slices it over the short third man fielder. The ball hits the boundary cushions on the full and it is a biggie.

18.56

SIX! WOW! SKY, YOU BEAUTY! Siraj goes for a yorker but misses his mark. SKY sits back and whips it high and handsomely over the deep square leg fence for a maximum. A 98-metre hit that!

18.41

In the air...but safe! A short ball, around off. Jaydev Unadkat looks to pull but he gets a top edge which falls just in front of the fine leg fielder for a run.

18.31

A full ball, on middle. Suryakumar Yadav whips it to deep square leg for a single. FIFTY FOR SKY! He has kept Mumbai in the contest!

18.20

Fuller in length, outside off. Suryakumar Yadav reaches out and drags it back to the bowler. Siraj collects the ball and has a shy at the striker's end but he misses.

18.23nb

NO BALL! A full ball, on middle. Suryakumar Yadav whips it wide of the long on fielder and takes a couple of runs. That brings up the 50-run stand between these two batters. The umpire signals no ball as Siraj oversteps. Free Hit to follow.

18.16

SIX! BOOM! Suryakumar Yadav carries on in his merry way! Stand and deliver stuff from him! Back of a length, outside off. SKY stays back and launches it way over the extra cover fence for a maximum.

Mohammed Siraj (3-0-28-0) comes back into the attack.

17.54

FOUR! UP AND OVER! A slower ball, full and outside off. Jaydev Unadkat prods and lofts it over the mid off fielder for a boundary.

17.41

On a length, down leg. Suryakumar Yadav pulls it to deep backward square leg. Akash Deep from fine leg runs across and does well to stop the ball. Keeps it down to just a single.

17.34

FOUR! Top shot! Back of a length, outside off. Suryakumar Yadav throws the kitchen sink at it. He carves it brilliantly over backward point for a boundary.

17.20

Excellent yorker on middle, Suryakumar Yadav could do nothing but jam it out.

17.12lb

NOT OUT! Leg bye! Umpire's call saves Suryakumar Yadav here! An excellent delivery from Harshal Patel! A slower full toss, dipping on the batter. SKY looks to play it across the line but he misses and gets hit near the rib-cage. Bangalore appeal but the umpire says no. They opt for a review. The Ball Tracker shows that the impact was in line of the stumps. But it is umpire's call on wickets hitting. Bangalore retain their review.

Bangalore have opted a review for an LBW. The third umpire first checks if it's a waist hight no ball but it's a legal delivery as the ball is dipping low. UltraEdge shows no bat involved and the Ball Tracking shows that it is umpire's call on wickets hitting. The on-field call was NOT OUT so it will stay the same.

Drinks! Anuj Rawat has played a good knock so far and Virat Kohli is supporting him very well. Bangalore are in cruise control of the game with just 41 needed off 30 balls and should cross the line without any hiccups. Mumbai can still be in the game but for that to happen, they need quick wickets otherwise the match is slipping away from them. Kieron Pollard comes back to bowl.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players stroll out to the middle. Anuj Rawat and Faf du Plessis walk out to open the batting for Bangalore. Faf du Plessis is on strike. Basil Thampi will open the bowling for Mumbai. Let's go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! 152 is what Bangalore need to chase and they would have taken this score at the start as they have enough firepower in their batting and top of that, Glenn Maxwell is back in the mix as well. Mumbai have made a decent recovery and the onus is on their bowlers now to do the job and get their first win of the season. Stay tuned to see how the chase unfolds...

Harshal Patel is up for a quick chat. He says that he will take 7 runs off the last over. Adds that the ball was drifting through the air and he was keeping an eye on his arm speed. Tells that it is important to maintain the arm speed. Mentions that it is a good wicket to bat on and chasing 152 shouldn't be any problem for them, if they start well in the Powerplay.

Things didn't quite go well for Bangalore at the start as the bowlers leaked some runs and found it tough to get the breakthrough but Harshal Patel did that job in his first over itself. After that, the bowlers just turned the game around and found quick wickets. They put a halt to the flow of runs after the Powerplay and capitalized on the pressure they created with regular wickets. They were in the driver's seat but will be disappointed that they let the game slip away towards the backend. It's still a chaseable total and Bangalore would be hoping to make it three wins on the trot.

Mumbai were off to a great start and enjoyed a great Powerplay as both Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma scored freely and stitched 50-runs for the opening stand. Rohit Sharma was looking very good but fell after the Powerplay. And after he fell, Mumbai started to lose wickets in heap, and from 50-1, they fell to 62-5. It all boiled down to Suryakumar Yadav and he played a lone battle to get Mumbai out of the rut. He played a gem of a knock and it is only because of his knock that Mumbai have a respectable total on the board. They might be still 15-20 runs short but given how they were after 14 overs, they would take this score any day and would be confident of defending it.

If Mumbai have reached this score, they only have Suryakumar Yadav to thank for. What an innings we have just witnessed! He has played a superb knock under pressure and has made sure to take Mumbai past 150. Bangalore bowlers were terrific with the ball but they will be disappointed that they leaked runs after taking 6 wickets at regular intervals.

NOT OUT! Leg bye! Umpire's call saves Suryakumar Yadav here! An excellent delivery from Harshal Patel! A slower full toss, dipping on the batter. SKY looks to play it across the line but he misses and gets hit near the rib-cage. Bangalore appeal but the umpire says no. They opt for a review. The Ball Tracker shows that the impact was in line of the stumps. But it is umpire's call on wickets hitting. Bangalore retain their review.

Bangalore have opted a review for an LBW. The third umpire first checks if it's a waist hight no ball but it's a legal delivery as the ball is dipping low. UltraEdge shows no bat involved and the Ball Tracking shows that it is umpire's call on wickets hitting. The on-field call was NOT OUT so it will stay the same.

13.60

Short ball that keeps really low, on middle. Suryakumar Yadav crouches initially but sees that the ball has kept low so adjusts and fends it out to the off side. Terrific over from Harshal Patel. A wicket and 3 runs off it.

13.50

An off-paced delivery again, on off. Suryakumar Yadav knocks it to point.

13.40

Pitched up, on off. Suryakumar Yadav plays a straight drive but Harshal Patel gets his right hand out and stops the ball from racing away.

13.31

Length ball, outside off. Jaydev Unadkat has a poke at it now. The ball goes off the outside edge to third man for a single.

13.2W

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Harshal Patel is lethal when it comes to slower deliveries and he gets a wicket off a slower ball once again. Length ball, outside off, off-paced. Ramandeep Singh has a poke at it and gets beaten by the pace. The ball just about kisses the outside edge and carries through to the keeper. Dinesh Karthik does well to move forward and take the catch. Harshal Patel appeals but the umpire is not sure if it's a clean catch or not. The third umpire first checks if there is an edge and UltraEdge confirms, there is. The catch is taken cleanly as well and Mumbai lose their sixth wicket now. Jaydev Unadkat is the new batter in for Mumbai.

Is that a clean catch? Dinesh Karthik seems to be confident behind the sticks as he has taken the catch by bending low in front. The umpire is not convinced though and he has sent it upstairs. The replays suggest that it was a clean catch by Dinesh Karthik and Ramandeep Singh is a goner.

13.12

On a length, on off. Ramandeep Singh punches it to sweeper cover for a brace.

Harshal Patel (1-0-2-1) comes back to bowl.

MISFIELD AND FOUR! Floats it up, on middle and leg, Suryakumar Yadav makes room and cuts it to deep point. The ball went straight into the hands of Mohammed Siraj but he somehow manages to make a mess of it and the ball goes through him and into the ropes. A boundary! Bangalore would not want any of this as they are in the driver's seat at the moment.

12.51

Short and wide outside off, Ramandeep Singh thumps it to long off for one.

12.41

On the pads, Suryakumar Yadav nudges it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Nicely bowled! Tossed up, on off, spinning away. Suryakumar Yadav works it off the outside edge to short third man.

FOUR! Much-needed boundary for Mumbai! Lovely stroke from SKY! Length ball, outside off. Suryakumar Yadav lifts it over covers for a superb boundary. End of a good spell from Akash Deep. 4-1-20-1 from him.

11.51

Short of a length, outside off. Ramandeep Singh guides it to third man for a single.

11.40

Length, on middle. Ramandeep Singh defends it onto the pitch.

Ramandeep Singh walks out to bat.

OUT! LBW! And just like that, half of the Mumbai side are back in the hut for 62. What a ball from Wanindu Hasaranga! Absolutely magnificent. You need something special to get rid of Kieron Pollard and Wanindu Hasaranga has delivered that. Bowls a googly, that spins back from outside off. Kieron Pollard completely misses it and gets struck on the pads. Wanindu Hasaranga appeals and the umpire raises his dreaded finger. Kieron Pollard opts for the review though. UltraEdge shows a flat line as the ball passes the bat. Ball Tracking shows that the impact was in line of the stumps, the ball was pitching outside off and it is umpire's call on wickets hitting. Bangalore side is pumped up now and Mumbai are in big, big trouble.

Swing and a miss! Back of a length, outside off. Suryakumar Yadav looks to cut hard but the ball zips past his outside edge. A double-wicket maiden from Akash Deep! Bangalore all over Mumbai at the moment.

Kieron Pollard is the new batsman in.

9.5W

OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, dear! This is suicidal from Varma! Mumbai lose another wicket and they are in deep trouble now! Varma probably took on the wrong man in the field there. This was a good-length ball, around off. Tilak Varma defends it towards extra cover and looks to steal a quick run. It is Glenn Maxwell who runs in front, collects the ball and underarms the ball to hit the stumps at the bowler's end. Tilak Varma is way short of his crease and he departs for a duck. Mumbai are losing their way here.

9.40

Chopped on, almost! Short of a length, around off and cramping the batter for room. Tilak Varma stays back to defend but the ball takes the inside edge and falls just wide of the leg stump.

9.30

Good-length ball, around off. Tilak Varma taps it towards point.

The new batter in is Tilak Varma.

9.2W

OUT! CAUGHT! Ishan Kishan tries to be cheeky but ends up losing his wicket in doing so! This was a short-of-a-length ball, just outside off. Ishan sits back and looks to ramp it over the third man fence. Although, he does not time it well and the ball goes high in the air towards the third man fielder. Mohammed Siraj there, runs to his right and takes a good catch just in front of the ropes.

9.10

That took off from a length! Back of a length, outside off. Ishan Kishan hangs back and tries to cut hard but the ball whizzes past his outside edge.

This is a quicker ball, on a length, around middle and staying a touch low. Suryakumar Yadav stays back and bunts it to the right of the bowler. Wanindu Hasaranga dives to that side and stops a single. Another successful over for Bangalore.

8.51

Flatter and quicker, around middle. Ishan Kishan prods and works it to long on for a run.

8.41

Tosses it up, outside off. Suryakumar Yadav drives it towards deep cover and takes a run.

Drinks! Harshal Patel halted the flow of runs removing Rohit Sharma and now Wanindu Hasaranga has got rid of the agressive Dewald Brevis as well. Bangalore would look to keep chipping in with regular wickets while Mumbai would now hope that Ishan Kishan bat through along with Suryakumar Yadav who walks out to the middle.

8.3W

OUT! LBW! Wanindu Hasaranga strikes now and this is a timely wicket for Bangalore. A smart move by Faf du Plessis to bring on the leggie. Hasaranga serves a googly, on a length, around off and turning in sharply. Brevis stays back and looks to play it across the line. He misses as the ball spins past his blade. Brevis is pinged on his pad and the bowler appeals. The umpire raises his finger in no time as that looked plumb in front.

8.21

Shorter in length, outside off. Ishan Kishan pulls it awkwardly towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

8.11

This is darted on the pads. Dewald Brevis tickles it fine through the fine leg region for a run.

BEATEN! Back of a length, just outside off and shaping away just that little bit from the batter. Dewald Brevis hangs back to push it through the off side but the ball zips past his outside edge.

7.40

Swing and a miss! On a length, just outside off. Brevis skips down the track and looks to slog but he fails to get any blade on it.

7.31

A short ball, around leg. Ishan Kishan mistimes his pull shot towards deep mid-wicket and the batters cross ends.

7.21

On a length, around middle. Dewald Brevis tucks it wide of the long on fielder and settles for a single.

7.14

FOUR! EDGY! Slightly short and outside off. Brevis looks to cut hard but he gets a thick outside edge. The ball goes past diving Virat Kohli at wide first slip and races away to the fence.

Dewald Brevis walks out to bat at No.3.

6.2W

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Harshal Patel strikes and he gets rid of Mumbai's skipper, who was looking so good out in the middle. Patel is delighted! Brilliant bowling from him and Rohit is absolutely gutted with that! Coming to the delivery - It was an off-cutter, full and just outside off. Rohit gets deceived by the change of pace as he looks to push it through the off side. He checks his shot in the end but ends up chipping it straight back to the bowler. Harshal Patel takes a simple catch in his followthrough.

6.11

On a length, around middle and leg. Ishan flicks it towards deep mid-wicket and rotates the strike.

5.52

A low full toss, outside off. Rohit drills it to sweeper cover for a brace.

5.40

A length ball, angling in from middle. Rohit tickles it nicely but finds the short fine leg fielder. A few yards on either side of the fielder and it would have raced away to the fence.

5.31

Short of a length, outside off. Ishan Kishan slaps it through the cover region. There is a fielder stationed in the deep, so Kishan manages only a run.

A slower ball, full and outside off. Ishan Kishan throws his bat at it but fails to make any connection.

5.10

Play and a miss! Back of a length, angling across the batter, from off. Ishan Kishan stays back and looks to cut it without any feet movement. The ball zips past his outside edge.

We are set for the game to begin! The match officials and the players of Bangalore make their way out to the middle, followed by the openers of Mumbai, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. David Willey will start proceedings with the ball. Here we go, folks!

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says that they would have bowled first as well. Adds that the pitch starts to get better and better as the game progresses. Tells that they will need to apply themselves much better. Mentions that every game is a tough one and they will be looking to get their first win of the season. Informs that they have got a couple of changes to their side.

Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Bangalore, says that they will bowl first. He says that they are not sure of how the surface will play and it will be good to chase on it. Adds that Maxwell comes back for Rutherford and he will bat at number 4. Applauds Dinesh Karthik by saying that he has been brilliant so far.

Mumbai (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Ramandeep Singh (In for Daniel Sams), Murugan Ashwin, Jaydev Unadkat (In for Tymal Mills), Jasprit Bumrah, Basil Thampi.

TOSS - Bangalore have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first.

Mumbai will be keen to get a win under their belt after having lost their first three games. They have been inconsistent in all three departments and will need to put their best foot forward  against a side that has the winning momentum heading into this clash. Bangalore would be eager to make it three wins in a row and the return of Glenn Maxwell will surely bolster their lineup. Who will come out on top in this mouth-watering fixture? Stay tuned as we shall find that soon. Toss and team news coming shortly.

Hello and a very warm welcome to game number 18 of the Indian T20 League where 5-time champions Mumbai will lock horns with Bangalore. However, Mumbai has gotten off to a very ordinary start this season and are coming at the back of three losses in a row. Bangalore on the flip side, haven't been at their best so far but some individual brilliances have ensured that they win two out of the three games.

... Match Day ...
