Royal Challengers Bangalore have defeated Mumbai Indians in a Super Over thriller. Mumbai Indians who looked down and out at one stage tied RCB's total of 200 thanks to phenomenal couter-attack from Ishan Kishan (99 off 58 balls) and Keiron Pollard (60 from 24 balls).
Royal Challengers Bangalore had posted a handsome total of 201/3 from their alloted 20 overs. Both openers Devdutt Padikkal and Aaron Finch scored brilliant fifties to provide a strong start to RCB with their 81-run stand. Mumbai Indians threatened to come back into the game strongly after the quick dismissaly of Finch and skipper Virat Kohli. Kohli disappointed again as he was dismissed for a miserly 3 off 11 balls. Ab de Villiers though had other plans as he scored a rapid half-century to power his side over 200.

While Mumbai Indians are coming into the match on the back of an impressive 49-run victory against KKR, Bangalore on the other hand were crushed aside by 97-runs in their last game against Kings XI Punjab thanks to a phenomenal 132* by KL Rahul.
The two sides are led by the two biggest names in Indian cricket at present: Rohit Sharma will lead defending champions Mumbai Indians while Virat Kohli will captain Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The two captains had starkly different outings, the last time they took to the pitch. While Rohit Sharma was crowned the man of the match for his brilliant innings of 80 (54), and was vital in his side’s victory, Virat Kohli had a horrific day in the office.
Kohli dropped two catches off KL Rahul and Rahul graciously added to the misery of his national team captain by scoring a mammoth ton – taking all RCB bowlers to the cleaners and taking his side to huge 206/3. Kohli’s horror show didn’t end there as he was dismissed for just 1 off 5 balls.
Kohli would thus be looking to make an emphatic comeback after his individual failures cost his side. RCB are also gunning for their maiden IPL crown this year and would want recover with the matches coming thick and fast.
Mumbai Indians would fancy their chances, hopings to continue with their winning formula and justify their billing as one of the strongest contenders for this edition.
