September 28 2020 22:53 (IST)
Last four overs – 80 needed to win
Mumbai have left themselves with too much to get in the final four overs.
Yes, only yesterday Rahul Tewatia pulled off a heist but not everyday do you get miracles in cricket.
MI fans, though, wouldn't agree with the naysayers until Pollard is at the crease. And Kishan too.
September 28 2020 22:46 (IST)
FOUR!
Chahal keeps this one wide of off stump, almost out of Pollard's reach, but the big man gets some serious muscle behind it to hit it for four
However, that could have led to his dismissal as well as Padikkal came running in from the fence and dived face-first to to grab the ball that was dying on him, a few yards inside the rope.
He failed to hold on but got a thumbs-up by Kohli for the effort.

SIX! 50 for Kishan!
Fifty for Kishan with a slog over mid-wicket for six.
Kishan has raised his 50 off 39 balls but has that helped Mumbai's cause?
MI need 104 off just 36 balls.
It's getting into the realm of the impossible.
September 28 2020 22:36 (IST)
No momentum for Mumbai
The big hitters Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard haven't been able to get a move on here.
RCB are bowling to their plans and Mumbai are sinking further and further into a quicksand of ridiculous asking rates.
Last five overs have yielded just 35 runs and one wicket.
September 28 2020 22:31 (IST)
Zampster gets Kung-Fu Pandya!
September 28 2020 22:29 (IST)
Mumbai rely on Pollard Power
Kieron Pollard has arrived at the crease and Mumbai would hope he stays longer than Hardik did and takes MI closer to the target.
The required rate has crossed 15 an over. MI need to go big, and they need to do so now.
September 28 2020 22:23 (IST)
Hardik c (sub) Negi b Zampa 15 (13)
Another HUGE wicket!
Negi is having a day to remember as a substitute fielder. He takes the third catch of the evening and Hardik has to go back.
The ball was full and Hardik went for the slog over mid-wicket, but couldn't get the power behind the shot.
Negi takes another one cleanly and MI are four down.
September 28 2020 22:18 (IST)
SIX!
Kishan gets the sixes going!
This is the second of the over as Kishan decides to target Saini here.
