VIDEO: Mumbai Indians edge RCB after no-ball drama
Three-time winners Mumbai Indians held on for narrow six-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday night at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
With RCB needing seven runs to win and six for a Super Over, Sri Lanka fast bowler Lasith Malinga bowled full toss to Shivam Dube which produced one run. However, replays on the TV screen showed that Malinga had overstepped, which left RCB skipper Virat Kohli fuming.
Had the umpire S Ravi called that front-foot no-ball, RCB would have needed six runs off the last ball of the match which would have been free hit owing to Malinga overstepping. (READ: “We are playing at IPL level, not club cricket” fumes Virat Kohli)
Mumbai won their first game of IPL 2019 while RCB remain winless after two matches.
