Stay tuned for the Presentation ceremony!!!

Earlier in the day, after electing to field, Mumbai were not that great with the ball, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Srikar Bharat all came to the fore but Mumbai did really well to pull things back and keep them down to below 170. However, that proved to be a lot of runs as Chahal, Maxwell and Patel did wonders with the ball.

The likes of Kyle Jamieson, Mohammed Siraj and Dan Christian leaked a lot of runs in the Powerplay. The spinners though, Maxwell and Chahal turned the game back into Bangalore's favour. The two finished with combined figures of 8-0-34-5 and then at the death, Harshal did what he did last time around against Mumbai. Finished with a four-fer along with a Hat-Trick. Kohli can be really proud of his bowlers.

The chase though began brilliantly for Mumbai as de Kock and Rohit got them off to a flier. They looked in control of the run chase before the spinners were got into the attack. The game then changed from there. No middle order batter contributed a lot and the intent was also lacking. Whenever one looked to play a big shot, he lost his wicket. No one other than the top two managed to cross the 10-run mark and that simplifies how poor Mumbai were.

What a performance by the Bangalore bowlers! How often do we get to write this? Well, we can this time around because they were exceptional! Take a bow, Chahal, take a bow, Maxwell and take a bow, the star against Mumbai in the last fixture and in this one too, Harshal Patel. We all felt Bangalore were at least 10 or 15 short of where they should have been but they have defended it with ease.
