The chase is set to begin.

... The Run Chase ...

Srikar Bharat says that is a fair total and they have a good chance. Adds that his role is pretty clear and he has to do little things right. Says that he stuck to his plan and he was enjoying it. Goes onto say that Virat told him to keep the intent on and he was doing what was required at the moment and his partnership with Kohli came out well. Adds that he enjoyed his sixes. Goes onto say that they need to bowl well and show aggression in their approach.

So, Mumbai should fancy themselves to chase this down. They have a strong batting lineup and the wicket too looks good. Bangalore bowlers have not been at their best but can they bowl well here? We will find out.

The Mumbai bowling bowled well in bits and pieces. They were poor at the start, however, the spinners did a decent job in the middle overs but the pacers then took a pounding. However, they came back strongly right towards the back end courtesy Boult and Bumrah. The latter was the pick as he ended with a three fer. Krunal Pandya and Chahar were reasonably economical. Milne though had a day to forget but he got the important wicket of Kohli. In the end, they will be pleased with their performance.

Bangalore though were good for majority of their innings! They lost Devdutt Padikkal early but then Kohli and Bharat counter-attacked and got Bangalore to safer shores. Once Bharat fell, Maxwell continued the good work. He played a few audacious shots and along with his skipper added 51 before Kohli fell just after he got to his fifty. AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell then lit up the show and when they were batting 180-plus looked possible but once they fell, there were no boundaries hit and only 9 came from the last two overs.

The last two overs have completely turned the tide in the favor of Mumbai! 180 or a little more than that looked possible before the 18th but Bangalore have fallen well short of it. Yet again they do not manage to finish on a high note.

19.6 overs (1 Run) A very good end to the innings by Mumbai! Yorker on middle, Jamieson drives it to long on for a single. BANGALORE END ON 165 FOR 6.

19.5 overs (1 Run) Full ball outside off, Christian lifts it to deep cover for a single.

19.4 overs (0 Run) Short ball around middle, Christian looks to paddle but the ball is too short and he misses.

19.3 overs (1 Run) Full outside off, Jamieson drives it to long off for a single.

Who will walk out next? Kyle Jamieson it is.

19.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! TIMBER! Top-class yorker from Trent Boult and Mumbai are right on top here. Brilliant last two overs from them. Yorker on off and middle, Ahmed looks to flick but misses. It hits the pads and then uproots the off stump.

19.1 overs (0 Run) Excellent from Boult! Very full outside off, Ahmed leaves it alone, thinking it will be a wide but not given.

Trent Boult comes back into the attack to bowl the final over.

18.5 overs (1 Run) Full toss outside off, Ahmed slashes it to deep point for a single.

Shahbaz Ahmed walks out now.

18.4 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That is why Bumrah is one of the best in the world! He gets rid of Maxwell and now gets rid of AB de Villiers as well. Mumbai right back into this one. Shortish ball, pacy outside off, de Villiers looks to slash at it but it goes off the outside edge towards de Kock who makes no mistake. Can Bangalore still reach 180?

Dan Christian walks out at number 6.

18.3 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Bumrah has got Maxwell again! This is the 7th time he has got him in the Indian T20 League. End of a very good innings from Maxwell but Bangalore would have loved for him to stay till the end. Low full toss on middle, Maxwell looks to whip it away again. It goes off the bottom half of the bat towards long on where Trent Boult takes the catch.

18.2 overs (0 Run) NOT A WIDE! Very full outside off, Maxwell looks to play the reverse paddle but misses. Maxwell is not too happy as that has not been called a wide.

18.2 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Full outside off, Maxwell looks to drive but misses.

18.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! WHIPPED! Maxwell is playing some kind of a knock here! Full on middle, Maxwell whips it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

17.6 overs (1 Run) Low full toss on off, Maxwell drives it to mid off and takes a run. He missed out there but still 17 runs from the over. Good one for Bangalore.

17.5 overs (2 Runs) FIFTY FOR MAXWELL! Very good innings from the Big Show! He has had a good season so far and Bangalore needed this innings from him. Good-length ball on middle, Maxwell works it to mid-wicket for a couple.

17.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Slapped! Short ball outside off, Maxwell slaps it past the mid off fielder for a boundary.

17.3 overs (0 Run) Full down the leg side, Maxwell looks to heave it to the leg side but it brushes his pads and it goes to the keeper.

AB de Villiers walks out at number 5.

15.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Kohli falls after scoring a fifty! Big wicket for Mumbai as Kohli would have looked to press on the accelerator! Short ball around middle, Kohli dances down and looks to pull. It takes the top edge and it goes to deep square leg. Anukul  Roy, the substitute fielder, takes a good catch running in from deep square leg. Once again, Kohli falls at the wrong time, that happened in the Chennai game and it has happened here too.

15.4 overs (1 Run) Short ball around off, Maxwell uses his feet and then pulls it to long on for a single.
