Mumbai Indians (MI) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by five wickets with a ball to spare in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Monday. After restricting Bangalore to 162/8, Mumbai looked to be coasting to an easy win with Jos Buttler and Nitish Rana going all guns blazing. However, Bangalore had other plans. They first got rid of Parthiv Patel in the very first delivery for a duck and then followed up with quick wickets of Buttler and Rana. But it was captain Rohit Sharma's unbeaten 56 that guided Mumbai to a win. Not only did he hit his 31st IPL half century, he also hit a four off the second last ball to keep the winning momentum for Mumbai and help the team go top of the points table. (Scorecard)
