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.
18.3 overs (4 Runs) 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!
18.2 overs (4 Runs) 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.
18.1 overs (0 Run) 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.
17.6 overs (6 Runs) 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!
17.5 overs (3 Runs) 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.
17.4 overs (0 Run) 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.
17.3 overs (1 Run) 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.
17.2 overs (1 Run) Good-length ball, on middle. Kohli tucks it to deep mid-wicket and takes a single.
17.1 overs (2 Runs) Two! Good-length ball, outside off. Virat Kohli punches it to backward point. The fielder there half-stops it. The batters take a single but the fielder has a shy at the striker's end and misses and the batters take a run more off overthrows.
Jasprit Bumrah (3-0-18-0) is back on.
16.6 overs (1 Run) Slower ball, on leg. Virat Kohli makes room for himself and taps it to point for a single.
16.5 overs (1 Run) 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.
16.4 overs (0 Run) 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.
16.3 overs (1 Run) 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.
16.2 overs (6 Runs) 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.
16.1 overs (0 Run) Short of a length, outside off. Anuj Rawat slaps it to cover.
Jaydev Unadkat (3-0-22-1) is back on.
15.6 overs (1 Run) A full toss, wide of off. Anuj Rawat steers it to deep point for a single. Just 30 needed off 24 now!
15.5 overs (6 Runs) SIX! This time Anuj Rawat connects it well and gets the desired result! Short of a length, on middle. Anuj Rawat keeps his calm, keeps his composure and pulls it over deep square leg for a maximum. Great shot!
15.4 overs (0 Run) Slower ball, outside off. Anuj Rawat shimmies down and looks to heave it on the leg side but gets beaten by the pace.
15.4 overs (1 Run) WIDE! A full toss, well outside off. Left alone. Wide given.
15.3 overs (1 Run) Full and on middle, Virat Kohli nudges it to long on for an easy single.
