And an amazing fightback from MI which ultimately went in vain.
Despite Kieron Pollard's fiery 49 and Lendl Simmons' fighting 68 the total was well beyond MI's reach.
Kudos to RCB who held their nerve to close the game out without any fuss.
Post the De Villiers-Kohli blitzkreig, RCB win a memorable game here...whereas MI end with a spectacular photo-finish!
