Match highlights: IPL 2019, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, full score and results: Lasith Malinga, Hardik Pandya star in MI's five-wicket win

11.59 pm: That's a wrap for now, folks. Did this match set the tone for the week? It's your call. Do stick around for all the post-match press conference reports, analysis, videos and much. We hope you enjoyed our coverage today as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. It's Kings XI Punjab hosting Rajasthan Royals tomorrow and all eyes will be on that match, you know what happened in the reverse fixture, right? Ooops, did any talks about the Mankad dimisssal? Yes, here's our preview (READ: All eyes on Ashwin vs Buttler as Royals seek revenge against faltering KXIP) From all of us here, it's goodnight!

11.58 pm: Now time for the winning skipper, Rohit Sharma to reflect on tonight's performance:

"His (Hardik) hitting has been helping the team and him as well, to move forward. This is something he wanted to do because he didn't have a lot of time before coming to the IPL. So he wanted to prove a point, to himself than anyone else. Lasith's performance matters a lot for us. We missed him for a few games. His form is very critical for Mumbai. Trust me, overs the years, bowling at the death at the Wankhede is very difficult. Credit goes to the bowlers for restricting a good RCB batting line-up to 170 odd. To be honest, I still haven't figured out the pitch here this season. Normally it's safe to chase here, but today no one expected it to play this way."

11.55 pm: For his belligerent knock, Hardik Pandya is the Game Changer of the match, here's what he had to say:

"Fantastic victory. Lucky with the start we got. Hats off to both the openers. It was not easy to bat on this wicket but they made it easy for us in the end. I felt RCB didn't bowl well in the Powereplay and that's where I thought they lost the game. We began well and had the bowlers who hit the deck hard and got some purchase of the wicket. The way wicket started playing, even AB found it difficult but they both (AB and Moeen) played well. It's always good to win at home. We are on the road and hopefully we can continue the winning momentum."

11.53 pm: The post-match presentation begins. First up, the losing captain Virat Kohli

"We played a pretty good game I guess. With the ball, we weren't that great in the first six overs but the guys fought hard in the middle overs and came back well. At the end, we had to take the risk with the left-arm spinner, with two right-handed batsmen. Giving pace was risky, especially with a bit of dew. Unfortunately, it didn't come off. He's (Moeen) been outstanding. Striking the ball well and bowling with a lot of heart. It's good to see a senior player taking responsibility and he deserves all the credit. (On the road ahead) We just have to enjoy ourselves, play the way we did in the last two games. Need to keep our composure under pressure. Need to take half-chances."

Mumbai Indians innings (Target: 172)

Summary: RCB did snap a six-match losing streak, but it looks like they're gone back to square one. While they did put up a fight, their bowlers failed to capitalise on the pressure moments. It's safe to say now that it's all over for RCB. Pawan Negi was not upto the mark tonight, he bowled a really poor penultimate over. The pacers Siraj and Umesh Yadav were terrible. From MI's perspective, Hardik was great under pressure, but he was brilliant in the end. Credit to Ishan Kishan for the way he counter-attacked and got three crucial sixes that kept MI going. Good finish by MI, but they can do better!

https://twitter.com/mipaltan/status/1117827326333444097

9.54 pm: Here's what Moeen Ali had to say about the Wankhede pitch which looks more than just what meets the eye:

"To start with, it's a bit tough to bat on. As you bat longer, it gets easier. We tried to pick on certain bowlers as we could get. I think it's a decent score. There was a period when we thought if we got to 170, it would be nice. Obviously, AB's run out was really crucial. Cost us a bit. Still happy with the total. We felt like we had to be braver with the bat. When you have Virat and AB in the side, you tend to depend a lot on them. But the others including myself need to step up too."

Royal Challengers Bangalore innings

Summary: RCB have made a meal of it at the end. They would definitely wanted a stronger finish specially after the platform AB de Villiers and Moeen Ali gave them. Lasith Malinga and Jasprit Bumrah pulled things back significantly as the last four overs went for just 35 runs. RCB looked towards heading in an excess of 180, but some excellent death over bowling from Malinga and Bumrah meant that RCB fell short by at least 10-15 runs. Note Malinga's figures here, he finishes with four wickets for just 31 runs in his four overs, while Bumrah remained wicketless and concedes just 22 runs that included 1 maiden in his four overs. A 172-run target should be quite easy at the Wankhede. The MI run-chase in a few moments from now. Stick around.

ABD's RUN OUT by Kieron Pollard, a fine innings by the South African comes to an end, gone for 75. Three wickets in three balls in the final over. After Akshdeep Nath, now Pawan Negi departs, Malinga showing his class here. THAT'S IT, THREE WICKETS IN THE FINAL OVER TO PEG THE VISITORS BACK AS RCB FINISH AT 171/7

18th over: WICKETS! And just after he reaches his half-century, Moeen Ali departs, Slinga Malinga STRIKES, the slower delivery works, Moeen goes after it, but ends up getting caught by Hardik Pandya in the deep.

https://twitter.com/IPL/status/1117817161647415296

Strategic timeout! And a much needed one for Mumbai Indians. Moeen Ali and AB de Villiers have done an incredible job for RCB. The partnership now between these two is 87, and ABD, once looking scratchy, is well set.

16th over: Jason Behrendorff has come back into the attack to bowl his final over. He has had a brilliant day today with figures of 3.0-0-32-1. Moeen might just be spoiling his figures here, he's smashed a BOUNDARY AND HAS FOLLOWED IT UP WITH A HUGE, HUGE HIT to mid-wicket. 17 runs from Behrendorff's last over, good one for RCB. 136/2 (De Villiers 48, Moeen 46)

https://twitter.com/IPL/status/1117813484215914496

15th over: BOWLING CHANGE: Krunal Pandya comes into the attack and he's gone for 10 runs in his first over, with Moeen Ali spoiling the over with a MAXIMUM over long-on. RCB 119/2 (De Villiers 47, Moeen 30)

https://twitter.com/RCBTweets/status/1117811116095049728

10th over: WHAT A SHOT FROM MOEEN ALI! A nonchalant flick off Rahul Chahar sails over the boundary ropes for a SIX. Sublime timing that. But, Chahar has come back well two straight googly's to beat Ali. He got a bottom edge off the third delivery and quinton de Kock failed to hold on to a really touch chance. Still 8 runs off it. RCB 70/2 (De Villiers 19*, Ali 10*)

TIME-OUT!

9th over: Hardik Pandya on for his second over, and he nearly castles AB de Villiers, but a lucky escape for the South African, and what more that lemon cut earns his a boundary as well. Pandya has his hands on hips, he can't do anything more than that. Seven runs off the over and it's time-out. RCB 62/2 (DE Villiers 18*, Ali 2*)

8th over: ANOTHER BOWLING CHANGE: Rahul Chahar comes into the attack to bowl his leg spinners and he beats AB de Villiers with tun and bounce off the first delivery. But, de Villiers is up for the challenge and reverse sweeps Chahar for a full off a fullish delivery. Still six runs off it. RCB 55/2 (De Villiers 13*, Moeen Ali 1*)

7th over: BOWLING CHANGE and a WICKET! Hardik Pandya comes into the attack, and he delivers with the wicket of Parthiv Patel, soft dismissal right there.

3rd over: BIG WICKET! Behrendorff and he has taken the BIG WICKET!, YES, it's Kohli, who has to go. He angles this one from a good length around off and it bounces just a bit more than Kohli anticipated, he edges it to de Kock who takes it with ease. Kohli departs for just 8. AB de Villiers has joined Parthiv in the middle. What an over by Behrendorff, 8 runs and the big wicket. RCB 20/1 (Parthiv 8, AB de Villiers 2)

1st over: Parthiv Patel and the captain Virat Kohli come out to bat. Jason Behrendorff will open the attack for Mumbai Indians. Kohli and got off the mark with a stylish short, was too straight by the bowler and he guides it past the diving forward square leg fielder for a BOUNDARY. 7 runs from the opening over. RCB 7/0 (Virat Kohli 5, Parthiv Patel 1)

7.32 pm: Captains have their say at the toss:

https://twitter.com/IPL/status/1117790382392090625

Rohit Sharma: "We're gonna bowl first. The nature of the ground says that it plays better in the second half. Also it's something our team is good at. Yes, it was a tough loss (against RR) but you need to give them credit. Jos Buttler played a fab knock. We have one change - Alzarri is injured, Malinga is back"

Virat Kohli: "I would have done the same. As Rohit said, it's a difficult ground to defend and we're good at chasing. So, we would have bowled first too. Wouldn't want to look too far ahead. Have told the boys to enjoy on the field and not take much pressure. We're playing the same team."

7.30 pm: TOSS: Rohit Sharma has won the toss and Mumbai Indians elect to field.

7.23 pm: PITCH REPORT: "There is an even covering of grass on the wicket. The average first innings score at Wankhede is 192. So, a high scoring ground and there will be dew as well. Both teams would want to bat second here," says reckons Mpumelelo Mbangwa.

7.17 pm: Both the teams have arrived at the Wankhede Stadium. TOSS in a few minutes from now.

https://twitter.com/IPL/status/1117786037323878400

7.15 pm: While RCB have tasted their first win of the season, MI's campaign has been a bumpy ride so far and both sides cannot afford to take it lightly with the tournament having crossed its halfway mark. Add to that the Wankhede pitch makes tonight's contest a run fest!

6.40 pm: Coming back to the IPL, here's some STATS to get you in the mood for tonight's Monday madness!

https://twitter.com/sachin_rt/status/1117777693100126208

Since 2016, Mumbai Indians have won six of the seven head to head contests against RCB, including all three at the Wankhede.

Rohit Sharma hasn't scored a fifty in his last 13 innings, the longest for him playing for MI.

Jasprit Bumrah has taken more wickets against RCB than any other opposition, 16 wickets and counting. He has dismissed both Kohli and AB de Villiers twice each.

https://twitter.com/MichaelVaughan/status/1117775752500408326

6.25 pm: Both sides will not want to tinker with their combinations, but MI may be forced to make one change after young West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph landed badly on his shoulder while fielding. (READ: Joseph joins growing injury list, likely to miss remainder of IPL) If Alzarri, fails to pass the fitness test, then Lasith Malinga could take his spot.

6.20 pm: There's a famous adage that goes like this: One swallow cannot make an summer. The same holds true for Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who opened their account after six losses, but now need to carry the momentum against Mumbai Indians at the latter's den. RCB are facing a team that knows a thing or two about comeback. Sit back, grab some coffee and enjoy this one, it's Rohit Sharma vs Kohli, we're building up to this one, a keenly contest contest, something which we hope will set the tone for a good week!

https://twitter.com/IPL/status/1117757847960342529

https://twitter.com/mipaltan/status/1117768466339991552

Royal Challengers Bangalore may have finally gotten a W against their name in the points table, but their joy might be short-lived when they run in to Mumbai Indians. Despite winning their first match of the season, RCB are still languishing at the bottom of the table and will need to win all their remaining fixtures to even have the slightest of hopes to make it to the Playoffs. RCB narrowly missed out on a win against MI when the two teams squared off previously failing to imply the finishing touches.

MI have picked up steam after initially showing signs of inconsistency. What makes them a stiff opposition is the fact that they don t seem to give up easily. It is the same spirit that got them a hat-trick of wins and almost a fourth against the Rajasthan Royals and it s what tips the scale in their favour. Their prime agenda should be to dismiss Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers cheaply, for without them firing, RCB s batting has looked fragile.

Similarly, RCB s biggest challenge will be to try and figure a way to tame Mumbai s explosive batting line-up.

Mumbai s lower order has always bailed them out of trouble, but RCB will require to counter Hardik Pandya s belligerent batting in the death. (FULL PREVIEW, CLICK HERE)
