MI vs RCB: Mumbai Indians beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 46 runs

K Pandya to V Kohli, Driven through mid on by the batsman.

K Pandya to V Kohli, FOUR! Make that three! Kohli is on the charge here. This is short and outside off, Kohli rocks back and cuts it through covers. There is no fielder in the deep which means it will cross the fence.

K Pandya to V Kohli, This is slower through the air outside leg. Kohli makes a leave thinking it will be a wide but it turns towards off and hits his pad.

K Pandya to V Kohli, FOUR! Just over! Kohli gets this on the leg stump, he whips it over the Pollard at mid-wicket and the ball races away. Second boundary in the over.

K Pandya to de Kock, Works it with the turn towards mid-wicket to change strike. Good by Quinton, Bangalore would not want any dots here.

K Pandya to de Kock, FOUR! Never a good idea to bowl a left arm spinner against a left hander. De Kock knows it and he is going after him. Pandya tosses this one up on middle. De Kock goes down on one knee and sweeps it over the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. Good end to the first over and a good start to this over.

Krunal Pandya will bowl from the other end.

J Bumrah to V Kohli, FOUR! A good end to the over for Bangalore. Fuller and on middle, Kohli leans into it and drives it through mid on for the first boundary of the chase. 7 from the first over.

J Bumrah to V Kohli, Back of a length on off, Kohli defends it by getting right behind the line of the delivery.

J Bumrah to de Kock, Slower ball on the pads, Quinton tries to work it on the leg side but misses. The ball hits his pads and rolls towards square leg for a leg bye.

J Bumrah to de Kock, Down the leg side and the umpire signals a wide.

J Bumrah to de Kock, Full and on the pads, de Kock misses the flick to get hit on the pads. The players appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Pitching outside leg.

J Bumrah to V Kohli, Bangalore are up and running! Kohli guides this length ball on off down to third man to change strike.

J Bumrah to V Kohli, Starts off with a back of a length delivery on off, Kohli guides it towards point.

We are back for the chase! A huge task lies ahead of the Bangalore batting line. The Mumbai players and the umpires make their way out to the middle. Virat Kohli replaces Brendon McCullum at the top and comes out to bat along with Quinton de Kock. Jasprit Bumrah will open the bowling for the hosts. Here we go...

What should I write about the Bangalore bowling? They were once again thrashed towards the end. A problem which they are facing for a long time. Umesh Yadav was exceptional at the start but was equally bad towards the end. Their spinners too were given a pounding. They once again have to depend on their batters now and the visitors will hope they come to the party today. Bangalore failed to chase a similar total against Rajasthan in the last game. Can they do it here? Join us in a short while to find out.

After winning the toss and electing to bowl, Bangalore got off to a dream start as Umesh Yadav took two-in-two straightaway. But then came the Mumbai recovery as Evin Lewis and Rohit Sharma joined forces and started the counter-attack. They stitched a 108-run stand with Lewis contributing 65. After losing him, the home side did not put their foot down and they kept going after the bowlers. This time though it was Rohit Sharma who took every bowler to the cleaners and perished 6 short of a well-deserved ton. Hardik Pandya's cameo, a lucky one, ensured Mumbai's total goes way above the 200 mark,

Another flamboyant batting display is what we have witnessed here in the Wankhede. If you would have ever asked Mumbai after the first two balls of the game that would they take anything above 200? They would have surely done it with open arms. A batting display led by their captain, who has finally come to form when his team needed him the most.

Chris Woakes who becomes the leading wicket-taker of the tournament (currently) gives a quick interview to Nasser Hussain. Says that he did go for runs but it's nice to pick a few wickets. Feels that it's a chaseable score at this venue. Adds that it's all about sticking to the process but admits that Mumbai got some world-class players. Hopes for a good start in the Powerplay and preserving wickets.

C Anderson to H Pandya, FOUR! Immense power! Anderson angles across a full ball outside off, Hardik attacks it with all his might and bludgeons it down the ground. No chance for the fielders in the deep. 21 from the over and Mumbai end on a massive 213/6!

C Anderson to M McClenaghan, Two wides! Anderson spills it way wide outside off, Mitchell chases and misses. Pandya quickly calls his partner for a run. Great thinking!

Mitchell McClenaghan is the next man in.

C Anderson to R Sharma, OUT! Rohit holes out! But what a wonderful innings by the Mumbai skipper. He has announced his arrival to form and other teams will have to watch out for him now. Once again he's aiming for the straight boundary, fails to get enough power this time and a simple catch for Woakes at long on. The Wankhede stands to applaud for the Hitman!

C Anderson to R Sharma, FOUR! Rohit is in the mood. Fetches a full toss from outside off and thwacks it over mid on for a boundary. The fielder in the deep tries his best but to no avail.

C Anderson to R Sharma, SIX! High and handsome! 200 comes up for Mumbai and the crowd is going bonkers. He latches onto a length ball outside off and smokes it over extra cover for a boundary. Rohit moves to 90! Can he get a century?

C Anderson to R Sharma, FOUR! Goes straight and finds the boundary. A length ball in the line of the stumps, Rohit clears his front leg and muscles it down the ground for a boundary.

C Anderson to R Sharma, Play and a miss this time. Fuller in length around off, angling away, Rohit goes on one knee to sweep it around but fails to connect.

C Anderson to R Sharma, Wide! Starts on a wrong note. A low full toss, way wide outside off, Rohit makes a leave.

Corey Anderson to bowl the last over.

C Woakes to R Sharma, Fuller and outside off, this has been driven square through the off side for a run. 15 and a wicket from it. Even though there is a wicket in it, it is a good one for Mumbai. One over and 8 runs needed for 200. Can they get to it?

C Woakes to H Pandya, This too has been slapped hard through covers but only for a run.

C Woakes to H Pandya, SIX! This is an extraordinary shot! This one is bowled short and outside off, Pandya flat bats it off the back foot and the ball has gone over the long off fence. Back-to-back biggies. What started to be a good over, is ending up to be an expensive one.

C Woakes to H Pandya, SIX! This will hurt Bangalore! They could have had Pandya on the last ball and now he is has just tonked this for a biggie. Short and on middle, Pandya rocks back and pulls it with disdain. The timing is such that the ball sails over the fence.

C Woakes to H Pandya, NOT OUT! Ohkay! Hard luck for the bowler. I will tell you why. Woakes bowls an absolute peach to Pandya first up. He lands it on a length around off, it shapes away after pitching. Pandya tries to keep it out but it seems to have taken the edge and gone into the mitts of the keeper. The players appeal and the umpire agrees. Pandya straightaway reviews and one would think it is not out as the batter did not waste any time in going for the referral. Replays roll in and it does find some spike as the ball passes the bat but for some reason the umpire's call has been overturned. Kohli is not happy as he is having a word with the umpire, rightly so as there was not enough evidence to overturn it. Pandya though survives and the crowd erupts.

Has Pandya bagged a first baller? He has been given out caught behind but he reviews immediately.

Hardik Pandya is the next man in.

C Woakes to K Pollard, OUT! Woakes gets the dangerous Pollard! A big wicket at this time. A slower ball on off, Pollard tries to go downtown but does not connect well. It goes towards long on where AB de Villiers runs to his right and takes a nice catch. First wicket for Woakes. Kohli will be happy to see the back of Pollard as he could have easily made a difference of 10 runs.

C Woakes to K Pollard, WIDE! Full and outside off, Pollard lets it be and the umpire calls it a wide.

Chris Woakes is back on.

M Siraj to K Pollard, Another yorker and Pollard flicks it towards deep square leg to end the over with a run.

M Siraj to K Pollard, Good ball! A yorker, on middle. Pollard jams it out to the bowler.

M Siraj to R Sharma, Now goes for the paddle, tries to be cheeky but misses to get any proper connection. The ball goes towards short fine leg for a run.

M Siraj to R Sharma, SIX! That has gone into orbit! What a hit, son! A slower ball outside off, Rohit Sharma picks it up early and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence. It does not just clear the fence but goes into the top tier.

M Siraj to K Pollard, Goes fuller this time, eases it down to long on for a run.

M Siraj to K Pollard, Starts off with a slower ball on middle, Pollard whips it through mid-wicket for a brace.
