2. Behrendorff gets rid of Virat Kohli
)
OUT!
Kohli has been sent back early.
A good length around off, the ball held its line after pitching and bounced just a bit more than Kohli anticipated it to.
He hit it on the inside edge through to de Kock who took it with ease.

A soft dismissal by Hardik Pandya.
A cleverly bowled off-cutter from Hardik and Parthiv went for aerial through his favorite region square through the off-side.
Misread, the ball ended up chipping it straight to Suryakumar Yadav at backward point.

9. Chahal gives RCB hope
)
OUT!
This is a big wicket for RCB.
A flighted delivery spinning away outside off stump. The away-spinning ball on this surface goes for the extra-cover region. The ball is hit too high and very straight which lands straight into Navdeep Saini's hands.

11. MI beat RCB by 5 wickets
)
Losing seven out of the first eight matches in a season:
KKR in 2009
KXIP in 2010
DC in 2013
RCB in 2019 *
Pawan Negi who was given the 19th over was not upto the mark. He bowled three decent overs but bowled a really poor penultimate over.
Hardik Pandya, on the other hand, was great under pressure, but so was Ishan Kishan for the way he counter-attacked and got three crucial sixes.
This is the seventh loss for RCB, potentially ending their hopes of a play-playoff.
