END OF OVER:
20 | 18 Runs 1 Wkt | MI: 201/5 (1 run required, RR: 10.05)

  • Kieron Pollard60 (24b)
  • Krunal Pandya0 (0b)
  • Isuru Udana4-0-45-2
  • Navdeep Saini4-0-43-0

9:53pm Time and time again, RCB find ways to mess it up at the end. But that statement alone will be a ridiculous disservice to what Kieron Pollard has done in Ishan Kishan's company here. Superb, superb T20 batting from one of the all-time greats. An unbeaten 60 off 24 balls and you better bet he's going to be back out there for the Super Over now. And will Kishan join him? No, it appears it will be Hardik Pandya. Kishan is still padded up.RCB have conceded 79 off their last four overs. Now they've to bowl a fifth.

Udana to Pollard, FOUR, it's a tie! A super over! Unreal. Slower short ball and that is...well, completely predictable. Sits up at off stump. Pollard deep in the crease and clobbers this between deep square and deep midwicket. One bounce and over the rope

They have crossed over. Pollard on strike. A six gives them the win. A four the tie.

Udana to Ishan Kishan, OUT, taken at deep midwicket! Oh boy! A matter of yards from victory, a matter of yards from an IPL hundred. Slower length ball outside off, gets down on a knee and brings out the slog sweep. Flat and right into the lap of the fielder at the line. Have they crossed over? That is all that matters right now

Ishan Kishan c Padikkal b Udana 99 (58b 2x4 9x6) SR: 170.68

Udana to Ishan Kishan, SIX, nails it and he's up to 99! Kishan has connected one and dragged this wide of long-on so casually! An overpitched ball from Udana, sliding nicely on as he swipes across the line

More towel work. 11 needed off 3.

19.3
6
Udana to Ishan Kishan, SIX, tipped over the boundary at long-on! Looks like it's Gurkeerat. Low full toss outside off, slogs at it and gets it off the low part of the bat. Gurkeerat leaps to his left and it's got his fingertips. Tough chance. Kishan still hasn't nailed one off the middle. Now is the time
19.2

Udana to Pollard, 1 run, slower short ball and he pulls straight to deep square. This is Udana's USP at the death. Really digs the cutters in. Pollard can't get it away

Third man, point, extra cover, mid-off in the circle. Udana is around the wicket. They want Pollard hitting into the long leg side.

19.1

Udana to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, they might have Kishan at the non-striker's end. Udana really gpotaway with this ball. Overpitched on middle, square leg was in, but Kishan finds him with the slog. Runs through and dives at the other end...and he's made it

END OF OVER:
19 | 12 Runs | MI: 183/4 (19 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 9.63, RRR: 19.00)

  • Ishan Kishan86 (54b)
  • Kieron Pollard55 (22b)
  • Navdeep Saini4-0-43-0
  • Yuzvendra Chahal4-0-48-1

12 from the over. Isuru Udana must defend 19 against Kishan and Pollard on his RCB debut. Leg side is the short side for Kishan at this end.

18.6
1
Saini to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, slower ball, dug in short at leg stump. Miscued pull out to deep square leg

Kishan has to get a boundary here from Mumbai's perspective. They'll want Pollard facing six balls from Udana. The towels are out and Saini is giving the ball a working at the top of his mark.

18.5

Saini to Ishan Kishan, SIX, clears Kohli at long-off! Another mis-hit turns into six for Mumbai. This is a knee height full toss wide outside off. He wants to hit over the leg side but the angle is against him. It ends up a slice, and that is enough after keeping Kohli interested for a moment

DEEP PATEL: "Really good stuff from Saini here! "

Ritesh: "Saini has bowled pure gold dust here... "

18.4
1
Saini to Pollard, 1 run, straight long-off saves them three. That is a position people have for Pollard. This is a low full toss outside off and he sends it whistling past the bowler
18.3
1
Saini to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, good enough. 143kph, full and at off stump. Kishan is too late on the slog. Perhaps his hands slipped off too. He calls for new gloves immediately

Third man, point and extra cover are in. Fine leg is in. Saini stays over the wicket.

18.2
1
Saini to Pollard, 1 run, outside edge but gathered on the bounce by Chahal at third man. Short and wide from Saini, missed out on the big cut and third man is fine
18.1
1
Saini to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, full slower ball just outside off, mistimed slog along the floor to deep midwicket
18.1

Saini to Ishan Kishan, 1 wide, short and down leg side. Kishan has a whip at it and is beaten but he gets a run

END OF OVER:
18 | 22 Runs | MI: 171/4 (31 runs required from 12 balls, RR: 9.50, RRR: 15.50)

  • Kieron Pollard53 (20b)
  • Ishan Kishan77 (50b)
  • Yuzvendra Chahal4-0-48-1
  • Adam Zampa4-0-53-1

They've got 49 in the last 2. Now they need 31 off 12. Saini was saved for the 19th. Here he is.

17.6
6
Chahal to Pollard, SIX, forehand slap flat and over the bowler! 20-ball fifty, get outta here you beast! Talk about clutch player. He is doing EVERYTHING he is paid to do. Dropped short at a middle stump line, backs into the leg side and flat-bats this over Chahal like he's facing tennis serves from the Under-14s
17.5
1
Chahal to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, short of a length outside off, punched to long-off's left off the back foot
17.4
6
Chahal to Ishan Kishan, SIX, carts him over deep midwicket! He does stick with the loopy stuff. But Kishan has figured that out now. Kohli asking Chahal why he isn't making him into the off side. Good length at off, gets low and slogs it. Just about clears the fielder

He's kept him quiet with some loopy stuff. Does he dare?

17.3
1
Chahal to Pollard, 1 run, good length and pushed flat down leg side. No room this time. Whipped to deep midwicket off the back foot

Aditya: "Someone said Pollard snatching victories from RCB on smaller grounds, he may do it on bigger ground tonight"

17.2
2
Chahal to Pollard, 2 runs, full and following him down leg side. Miscued slog bounces out to deep midwicket's right
17.1
6
Chahal to Pollard, SIX, drilled over long-off! Good length ball, legbreak at off stump. Backs into the leg side, has the reach and the room to absolutely nail this. 81 metres

A V K: "That famed 18th over."

END OF OVER:
17 | 27 Runs | MI: 149/4 (53 runs required from 18 balls, RR: 8.76, RRR: 17.66)

  • Kieron Pollard38 (16b)
  • Ishan Kishan70 (48b)
  • Adam Zampa4-0-53-1
  • Navdeep Saini3-0-31-0

27 off that over! Kohli goes with Chahal for the next over. Can he make amends? Required rate is down to 17.66.

16.6

Zampa to Pollard, 3 runs, dropped at backward point! Chahal running backwards barely gets a finger on that. And they're back for the third which means Pollard keeps strike. Zampa slows it down, goes good length legbreak outside off. Pollard looks for the slog again and the leading edge floats over Chahal's head and his lunge to the right won't get him to it
16.5
6
Zampa to Pollard, SIX, miscued! But still a long long way! Wow, what power! Googly, flat and at a good length wide outside off again. Drags it off the inside half of the bat and then...what? It's still in the upper tiers at midwicket
16.4
2
Zampa to Pollard, 2 runs, tossed up full outside off, driven firmly to extra cover's right. Easy second for them
16.3
6
Zampa to Pollard, SIX, oh this is gone far! Dropped short and just outside off, gets back in the crease and effortlessly deposits this pull into the upper tiers at midwicket
16.2
6
Zampa to Pollard, SIX, Negi drops it at deep extra! His night has turned! Full ball wide outside off, slices it. He goes reverse cup as this is about head height. And he tips it behind
16.1
4
Zampa to Pollard, FOUR, doesn't move. Googly, tossed up wide outside off. Reaches out and drills it past Zampa's face. Long-off's has no chance
