Rohit seals it in style

Seven runs off the final over was never going to be a problem. But Shane Watson takes it till the second-last delivery. But then with 2 required off 2, Rohit Sharma pierces the field on the off-side to give MI their eighth win of the season. They are up to 16 points. RCB are an exact mirror image. Eighth defeat of the season means, they'll have to hope RPS have to lose all their five remaining games to have some hopes of qualifying. That's a long shot. It's been a shambolic season, one they'll want to forget at the earliest.

Switch tabs quickly because the RPS v GL game starts pretty soon!

One bad ball costs Aniket Choudhary

It was a very good 18th over until then. Then Aniket bowled a wide and the equation was 24 off 13. The extra delivery cost RCB dear as Hardik Pandya duly hit the only normal-paced delivery from the left-armer into the stands. 18 off 12. That should be that!

Watson gets Karn Sharma

Karn won't be around to finish the chase as RCB stay in the contest with another wicket. Watson digs it in short and Karn finds the fielder in the deep with the pull shot. Hanging on...

Rohit finding his touch

Two gorgeous drives from Rohit and the Wankhede is bouncing again. Aniket Choudhary did little wrong with two full length deliveries but Rohit has just hit him behind and in front of square on the off-side. Class batting. Mumbai on top here, just about.

Pollard falls, Krunal retires hurt

Well, what's happening here? Kieron Pollard has picked out deep midwicket with a flick off Yuzvendra Chahal and then Krunal Pandya has walked back to the dressing room with a suspected hip injury. Remember he hurt it when he fell on the ball in the first innings. Out comes Karn Sharma.

Rohit Sharma crucial from here.

Two for Negi and Rana departs

Rana somewhat lost the fluency that marked him at the start of this innings. Goes for a slogsweep and mistimes it. It's a neat little catch from Travis Head on the boundary. Flicks the ball over, steps past the boundary cushions and comes back into the field of play to complete the catch.




2017







vMI evening match in Mumbai. lost the 1st wicket on 19. Then, Kohli & AB added 216 runs. RCB scored 235/1.

Build Up

Last year's runners-up RCB are already facing an exit from IPL 2017 should they lose another game. Even if they win all their remaining four, they need a bunch of other results to go in their favour to make it for the playoffs. How often does that happen? They did script a remarkable turnaround the last year, but its highly unlikely they'll be able to repeat the feat.

Mumbai Indians, in a sharp contrast, are a win or two away from securing their spot in the top-four. At home, the two-time champions boast of an even better record. Their six-match winning streak was snapped by the Rising Pune Supergiant, but what a comeback they have had after that - snatching victory in the Super Over despite messing up a seemingly easily 154-run chase against Gujarat Lions.
