Maruti Suzuki ASKcricinfo stat: How quickly does Glenn Maxwell score against Mumbai Indians?

Malli: "Bumrah has to be at his very best to make a match out of this. There's no other threatening bowler in this Mumbai bowling line up. SKY has given a chance to try out something for bowlers but with Maxi back in the team RCB favorites"

9.23pm From 79 for 6 in 13.2 overs, Mumbai will take this. And it is all thanks to Suryakumar Yadav, who made 68 with six sixes and five fours. Strike-rate of 183 during a time when wickets were just tumbling. He trusted his own strokes, and the result is right here.

The collapse started when Rohit Sharma, looking fluent, fell to Harshal right after the powerplay. Hasranga trapped Brevis and Pollard with googlies. Ishan Kishan fell after a sluggish 26 to Akash Deep and a Maxwell special ran Tilak Varma out. Incoming player Unadkat stood his ground, don't forget his contribution of just hanging in there during the unbeaten 72 run partnership in 40 balls.

Harshal Patel: "Definitely taken 7 in the final over, especially against a quality batter like Surya. (Slower ball) They were drifting in the air, made it a bit more effective today."

Mihir: "High time RCB make Siraj sit down. He neither contributes with the bat and last few games have been really expensive. Its.proving to be an expensive retention."

Malathesh Barik: "Has fafdu forgot about david willey. He has given only 8 runs in 2 overs and he is not given chance to finish his overs.. strange" -- I think the older ball's lack of swing may have dissuaded Faf after we moved past the 10th over or so

Patel to Yadav, 2 leg byes, chest before wicket? Harshal bowls a slower ball, but it's a full toss. Suryakumar bent low to get out of the ball's way, but the ball follows him, and it has thumped into him. They appeal for lbw, but not given out. RCB review and the first thing the TV umpire checks for is "waist-high no ball" and he confirms it is fine. Ball tracking says it is hitting him in line, and impact on stumps is "umpire's call", appearing like it would've clipped leg stump. Suryakumar survives, and aren't we glad it was the slower ball that hit him near the chest.
