| 3.1 : 3.1: JP Duminy to M Vohra, FOUR! Floated ball in line of the stumps, Vohra gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over JP's head to the fence. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: JP Duminy to M Vohra, SIX! Goes over mid off this time. Loopy ball on off, Manan times it perfectly to that region. His second of the night. He has decided to take on JP Duminy here. Giving him another could prove to be a costly as he has already gone 10 from the first two balls. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: JP Duminy to M Vohra, FOUR! Comes over the wicket this time but the result is the same. Lofts this over mid-wicket to get another boundary. 14 from it and there are still three balls to go. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: JP Duminy to M Vohra, SIX! This is the best of the lot. JP gives this air around off, Vohra lofts it elegantly over mid off for a biggie. |

| 4.6 : 4.6: M McClenaghan to de Kock, OUT! What a catch from Rohit Sharma. Length ball on off, Mitch rolls his fingers to this. De Kock looks to pull this one away but doesn't get it off the middle of the wood. It goes towards short mid-wicket where Sharma gets low and takes the catch. He is not sure if he has taken it cleanly so asks the umpires to check it. The replays show us that his fingers where under the ball and it was a clean catch. A wicket against the run of play for Mumbai and a much needed |
| 6.2 : 6.2: M Markande to B McCullum, FOUR! Innovation and McCullum plays it with the turn. Clever batting from the veteran. Gets into position early to play the reverse sweep. Connects well and the ball races away to the third man fence. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: M Markande to M Vohra, SIX! Tossed up ball on middle, Vohra gets low and slogs this over mid-wicket for a half a dozen. That six also gets him past 1000 runs in the Indian T20 League. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: M Markande to M Vohra, OUT! Mayank gets his man. Gives this air and bowls it full on leg. Vohra gets low and looks to sweep this away. He misses it and the ball hits his pads. Long appeal from Markande, the umpire took his time and raised his finger. Vohra takes it upstairs. Replays roll and show us that would have been umpire's call. So, Vohra reaches a landmark but fails to get to his fifty. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: H Pandya to B McCullum, SIX! No ball and its gone all the way! Hardik bowls a high full toss outside off, Brendon swings at it and the ball flies to just hits the ropes at the third man region. Free hit coming next. |

| 11.5 : 11.5: M Markande to B McCullum, FOUR! This spoils the over! This ball had hit me written all over it. Short and on middle. Brendon rocks back and pulls it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: M Markande to B McCullum, FOUR! Even better by McCullum this time! 13 from the over. Markande slows it up on middle. McCullum goes down on one knee and sweeps it through the same region to collect another boundary. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: K Pandya to V Kohli, SIX! That is huge! Bangalore have now decided to put the foot down. Kohli shimmies down the track, gets to the pitch of it and hits it high and handsome over the long on fence. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: M McClenaghan to B McCullum, OUT! Direct hit and McCullum is out of here! Mumbai needed this and it has come courtesy a brilliant throw by Hardik. This is another slower one on off. McCullum flat-bats it towards Pandya and sets off for a run. Hardik collects the ball at mid off. Aims and scores a bull's eye at the non-striker's end to find Brendon way short. There was never a run there, he was hoping for the fielder to miss and he did not. End of an entertaining knock by McCullum. Mumbai w |
| 15.5 : 15.5: H Pandya to M Singh, FOUR! Change in length by Hardik and he pays the price. Goes short and on middle, Singh does well to roll his wrists over the ball and pull it along the ground and through backward square leg for a boundary. |

| 17.2 : 17.2: H Pandya to V Kohli, OUT! Two-in-two for Hardik Pandya and he gets the big fish. Bangs this one short on middle, Kohli rocks back and pulls it flat towards long on. Pollard there runs in and takes a good catch. A dejected Kohli walks back and this could be vital. He could have easily made a difference of ten or more runs. Bangalore are losing their way and Pandya will be on a hat-trick. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: H Pandya to W Sundar, OUT! Three in the over for Pandya and this is turning from bad to worse for Bangalore. Sundar is the man walking back now. Another slower ball, never arrives. Sundar rocks back and flicks it towards Sharma at deep mid-wicket who takes it easily. What an 18th over to bowl, just 2 and three wickets from it. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: J Bumrah to Tim Southee, OUT! Another one bites the dust and once again it was the slower ball which does the trick. Outside off. Southee tries to drag it over deep mid-wicket. He only gets height on it and not the distance. Cutting steadies himself under it and takes a tumbling catch. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: M McClenaghan to de Grandhomme, SIX! That is why he wanted the strike. A much-needed biggie for Bangalore. Short and on middle, Colin waits for it and pulls it over the square leg fence for half a dozen. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: M McClenaghan to de Grandhomme, NO BALL and to add to that it is a SIX! Drama at the end. This was turning out to be a decent last over but this has spoiled it. A high full toss and on middle, Colin says thank you so much and deposits it into the square leg stand for a biggie. A Free Hit coming up, can de Grandhomme finish the innings in style? |
| 19.6: M McClenaghan to de Grandhomme, SIX! Yes, he can! He has tonked it. 24 from the last over and the look on Rohit Sharma's face says it all. De Grandhomme has made full use of the Free Hit as he sends it sailing over the long off fence. BANGALORE FINISH WITH 167 ON THE BOARD! |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Tim Southee to S Yadav, FOUR! In the gap this time. Full, around off, Yadav gets behind the ball and crisply hits it through covers. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Tim Southee to I Kishan, OUT! Kishan bags another golden duck against Bangalore! Last time Umesh got him and this time Southee gets him in a similar manner. Darts this full on middle and off, it nips back in after pitching. Kishan looks to flick it away but cannot put bat to ball. The ball goes on to disturb the furniture and Mumbai lose their first wicket. |

| 3.1 : 3.1: U Yadav to S Yadav, OUT! That looked plumped and umpire's call stays. Umesh lands this on a good length on leg, Yadav shuffles across and looks to flick it away. He misses it and gets wore on his pads. Umesh appeals and the umpire straightaway raises his finger. After a long chat, Yadav takes it to the TV umpire. On seeing the replays, we see that that would have clipped the leg stump. Mumbai do not lose their review as it was umpire's call. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: U Yadav to R Sharma, OUT! Yes! Bangalore looked confident and knew they had their man. Umesh gets two-in-two and Rohit's sorry form at Bangalore continues. A big wicket this for the hosts. A very big one indeed. Yadav bowls this a tad shorted than the good length around off, too close to cut. Rohit tries to flat-bat it to the off side and gets an inside edge to it. The ball goes towards de Kock who dives to his left an low to take a good catch. He was very confident that Sharma nicked it. T |
| 5.1 : 5.1: U Yadav to K Pollard, FOUR! Top shot from Pollard! Umesh bowls this full on off, Pollard stands tall and just lofts this over mid off. The ball races away to the fence. |

| 11.6 : 11.6: de Grandhomme to JP Duminy, OUT! He is short indeed! A very good throw from Umesh from the deep. Duminy rocks back and punches this ball wide off Yadav at deep point. They take the first run quick and hare for the second. Umesh gets rid of the ball quickly and gives it to de Kock who takes the bails off. The umpire is not sure so he takes it up. Replay's show us that Duminy is just of his crease. Mumbai need more 88 from 48. Can the Two Pandya brothers do it for them from here. |
| 12.6: Y Chahal to K Pandya, FOUR. Poor ball to finish the over but it has been lovely spell from Chahal. He finishes with figures of 4-0-23-0. Darts this short down leg, Krunal helps it on its way to the fine leg boundary. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: de Grandhomme to K Pandya, SIX! A much-needed one! They had to go for it and they have got a biggie on the first ball. Slower ball on middle, Krunal shuffles across and hits it over the square leg fence for half a dozen. Pressure on the bowler now. |

| 15.6 : 15.6: de Grandhomme to H Pandya, FOUR! Yes they can! Poor line and it has been put away. On the pads, Pandya works it fine past the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. 17 from the over. 45 needed from 24. |
| 16.6: M Siraj to H Pandya, FOUR! They needed this and Hardik provides it. 10 from this over. 35 needed from the last 3. Full and outside off. Pandya goes over covers and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: M Siraj to K Pandya, OUT! This over keeps getting better. Kurnal Pandya is walking back. Top, top stuff from Siraj. Krunal goes for the paddle scoop but gets a top edge which goes towards point. Mandeep Singh there accepts a dolly. Krunal's struggle comes it an end. 28 needed from 9. Bangalore right on top now. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Tim Southee to H Pandya, OUT! Game, set and match? It has to be. What a ripper of a catch by Kohli. He pulled something similar in his last game but ended up on the losing side. Can this catch help him win this game? The slower ball on middle, Pandya hits it towards long on. It is uppish but for a second he must have felt he is safe. But Kohli in the deep runs forward, dives and takes it inches above the ground. Pandya gets to his fifty and is walking back. Mitchell McClenaghan is the next |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Tim Southee to Ben Cutting, FOUR! Cutting still keeps them in it with this boundary. Length ball on middle, Cutting heaves it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
