Bengaluru Vs Mumbai Live Cricket Score - Live Cricket Score, Match 54 - Commentary

19.6Raj Bawa to Rasikh Salam. 2 runs, 2 runs.

Is that a run out? The RCB players don't think so and they are swarming the field. The third umpire has a look and confirms that Rasikh Salam has put in a match-winning dive. The bat popped out of his hand but it was in cotact with the willow when he made his ground and it will be NOT OUT.

19.5Raj Bawa to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. 1 run, Slower one, across the right-hander, on a good length. Bhuvneshwar Kumar miscues it down to long off for a single. RCB need 2 runs from the last delivery!

19.4Raj Bawa to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. SIX, SIX! JUST OVER! Magnificent strike from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Fuller and wide outside off. Bhuvi gets forward and opens the face, slicing it over sweeper cover with an inside out lofted shot. The fielder leaps but the ball sails over him for six runs.

19.4Raj Bawa to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. wide, 1 run, WIDE! Dear me! Slower bumper, but way, way too high over the batter's head. Bhuvneshwar Kumar lets it fly back to the keeper. Wide called. RCB need 9 runs from 3 balls.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar walks out to bat now.

19.3Raj Bawa to Romario Shepherd. out, OUT! TAKEN EASILY??! Raj Bawa has picked up the most important wicket for his side. Fuller this time and wide outside off. Shepherd is well outside his crease and looks to slice it through the off side, but gets nowhere near the middle of it. The ball flies off the toe end and is sliced straight to Varma at backward point, who leaps and takes it comfortably. RCB lose their 8th wicket.

19.2Raj Bawa to Romario Shepherd. no run, Well bowled! Stays around the stump and bowls a wide yorker, outside off. Romario Shepherd swings hard, but is beaten by a whisker on the outside edge. Romario Shepherd and Rasikh Salam converge for a chat to review for a wide, but they decide not to. A crucial, crucial dot ball from Bawa.

19.2Raj Bawa to Rasikh Salam. wide, 2 runs, Two Wides! The pressure is showing on Raj Bawa. Tries to keep it away from the hitting arc of the batter, but bowls it too wide, outside the tramline. Rasikh Salam swings and misses and the ball rolls back to the keeper. Ryan Rickelton releases an underarm throw to the batting end, but misses his shy and the batters complete the bye. 10 needed off 5 balls now.

19.1Raj Bawa to Romario Shepherd. 1 run, Oh, goodness! This just doesn't rise from a short length, outside off. Romario Shepherd swings with all his might to pull into the stands, but the ball stays underground and squirts off the toe end to deep mid-wicket for a single. 12 needed off 5 balls.

A change of bat for Romario Shepherd as he's chipped the toe end.

19.1Raj Bawa to Romario Shepherd. no ball, no run, Good execution this time! A wide yorker, outside off, Romario Shepherd fails to get under the ball and drills it back to the bowler off the toe end. Oh, dear! The buzzer of doom goes off in Raipur for MI. Raj has overstepped and it is a No Ball. A Free Hit coming up...

What a time to bowl a No Ball!

19.1Raj Bawa to Romario Shepherd. wide, 1 run, WIDE! Bowls from around the stump, Raj pushes it wide across the batter, on a fuller length. Romario Shepherd stays put and throws everything left in the tank, but misses to connect. The ball breaches the tramline and it is called a wide.

Who will bowl the final over? MI have options in terms of spin and also a seamer in the face of Raj Bawa. It will be Raj Bawa to bowl the final over and try and defend 14 runs.

18.6Jasprit Bumrah to Romario Shepherd. leg byes, 1 run, Pinpoint yorker around leg. Shepherd cannot get his bat to it again, and the ball clips the toe of his left boot and trickles down towards cover-point. A leg bye is taken, and Romario retains the strike.

18.5Jasprit Bumrah to Romario Shepherd. no run, This is world-class death bowling by Bumrah. Nails in another searing yorker around leg. Shepherd tries to jam it out but misses completely, and the ball clips his front pad and squirts away to the left of the keeper. Both batters fancy a bye and set off, but the keeper does well to collect it on the move and fires at the stumps, but misses. 

18.4Jasprit Bumrah to Romario Shepherd. no run, MI lose both their reviews! Bumrah spears it into the batter, on a fuller length, angling from middle to leg. Romario Shepherd gets a touch across in the crease and tries to work it across the line, but plays all over it and is hit on the front pad. A massive, confident appeal for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head. Bumrah is pumped up and wants it to be reviewed. SKY walks up to him to have a chat. Rickelton is a bit reluctant, but Suryakumar trusts his bowler and takes the review. UltraEdge shows no bat involved, and Ball Tracking shows that the ball is projected to miss the leg stump. So, the on-field decision is upheld.

18.3Jasprit Bumrah to Romario Shepherd. no run, Well bowled! Slower bumper from Bumrah, angled into the batter. Romario Shepherd ducks under it. The ball bounces in front of Ryan Rickelton, who does well to gather it. 16 needed off 9.

18.2Jasprit Bumrah to Rasikh Salam. 1 run, Length ball, around off, Rasikh runs it behind to deep third for a single only.

150 runs for RCB 18.1Jasprit Bumrah to Romario Shepherd. 1 run, Full, tailing in on leg, Romario Shepherd flicks it to deep square leg for a single. 150 UP FOR RCB!

RCB needed 18 off 12 balls. Surely, Jasprit Bumrah has to bowl the 19th over, right? Yes, it will be Bumrah. Also, Rasikh Salam has come out to bat ahead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

17.6Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. out, OUT! TAKEN! Sensational athleticism by Tilak Varma and this game is far from being over. Full and around off. Krunal goes deep in his crease and looks to clear the boundary downtown, but does not get the timing right and hits it flat to the left of long on. Tilak Varma tracks it to his left and takes a stunning catch, but his momentum is taking him over the rope. He keeps his composure, flicks the ball back into the playing area before crossing the boundary. He comes back in and completes the catch. The third umpire has a look, and the replays confirm that it is a clean catch. Krunal Pandya walks back and is received with a huge round of applause by his teammates. But he would be gutted to have not got the job done for his side. RCB are 149/7, needing 18 off 12 balls.

Has Tilak Varma pulled off a stunning catch here? He seems confident, and if Tilak has pulled it off, then it's another big twist in this game. Replays show that, indeed, Tilak has done it, and eventually AM Ghazanfar does get the wicket of Krunal Pandya.

17.5Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. SIX, SIX! Oh, my days! Krunal is down, flat on the ground, but he has dumped it into the stands. Shades of Maxwell vs Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup. Full and around off on a lower trajectory. Krunal gets down early and picks it up beautifully, and slog-sweeps it cleanly over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

17.4Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. no run, Short, on middle and leg, Krunal pulls off the back foot to deep square leg. He can't run due to cramps and the batters do not cross.

17.3Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. SIX, SIX! Sprinkles salt on the wounds! A lot fuller, around off. Pandya clears the front leg and smokes it over wide long on for a massive six. 

17.2Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. no run, A big miss! Short and outside off. Krunal walks across and tries to belt it down the ground but gets nowhere near the middle of it. The ball loops up to deep mid-wicket, where Naman and Tilak converge from either side. Dhir gets to it first and takes the catch to his right, but his momentum is carrying him towards the rope. He tries to flick the ball back into the playing area, but Varma does not attempt to take the catch, believing that Dhir had touched the ropes. Instead of releasing the throw, Tilak got into a bit of an argument with Dhir, but thankfully for MI, the batters did not run.

What's happened here? First of all, did Naman Dhir flick the ball before his leg landed over the ropes? The third umpire is having a look. Tilak Varma didn't go for the catch as he felt that it was a six, but actually it wasn't. No six, no catch and no run taken either. Bizarre stuff.

17.1Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. no run, Oh, prodigious turn. Spins in from outside off, on a length. Krunal does not read the carrom ball, but manages to keep it out to the off side.

Time for Jasprit Bumrah? MI only have one over of Bumrah left and the other two frontline seamers are now bowled out as well, which means Suryakumar Yadav will have to find a couple of overs from elsewhere. There's another slight halt in play as Krunal Pandya continues to struggle with his fitness. The 12th man is out and Pandya has a bit of nutrition intake and is ready to go again. Also, it will be AM Ghazanfar to bowl the 18th over.

16.6Deepak Chahar to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Closes out a superb over! Off-pace delivery, short and over off. Krunal pulls it to deep mid-wicket for only a run. Just 6 runs from Chahar's last. He is done with his spell, with figures reading 4-0-33-2.

16.5Deepak Chahar to Romario Shepherd. 1 run, Takes pace off, at 119.5 kph, this is dug in short, around off. Romario Shepherd slices the ball on the pull shot, and it goes on a couple of bounces to deep mid-wicket for a single.

16.4Deepak Chahar to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, In-between length, angling outside off. Krunal waits back and punches it along the ground to long off for just a single.

16.3Deepak Chahar to Romario Shepherd. 1 run, Slightly shorter, outside off. Shepherd knocks it off the back foot, through the cover-point gap for an easy single.

16.2Deepak Chahar to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Half-tracker, around off, Pandya waits for the off-cutter to arrive and swats it on the bounce to the left of long on for a single.

Krunal Pandya has taken a blow to the body and is down on the ground with some pain. As he falls down, he seems to have pulled his hamstring as well, and the physio is out to have a look. A bit of a wait, but thankfully, Pandya is good to go again.

to , no run

16.1Deepak Chahar to Krunal Pandya. no run, Ouch! That must have hurt. A deceptive slower ball, on a hard length, stays slightly low, on the leg stump line. Krunal Pandya is early into the pull shot and is well beaten before being hit on the stomach. Krunal is looking uncomfortable and is down on the ground.

16.1Deepak Chahar to Krunal Pandya. wide, 1 run, WIDE! Not an ideal start. Slower bumper, at just 116.4 kph, over the head. Krunal walks forward, but decides to leave. Wide given for height.

Wow, what a contest we are having in Raipur. MI still believe. Romario Shepherd is the new batter in at 8. Deepak Chahar (3-0-27-2) to bowl out.

15.6Corbin Bosch to Tim David. out, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Corbin Bosch goes bang, bang. A golden duck for Tim David. Cross-seam ball, bowled on a hard length, over middle. David swivels as he tries to pull it off the front foot, but the ball comes on slower than he expected. It grazes the toe end of the blade and goes behind, where the keeper, Ryan Rickelton snaffles it with ease. Bosch is done for the night, finishing with figures of 4-1-26-4. RCB need 36 runs from 24 balls.

Bosch has the last laugh. This game refuses to settle down in a straight line. With RCB needing 36 runs from 25 balls, Tim David walks to the crease at number 7.

3 wickets for Corbin Bosch. Corbin Bosch is on a roll. 5 wickets down for RCB. Out batsman is Jitesh Sharma 15.5Corbin Bosch to Jitesh Sharma. out, OUT! CAUGHT! Jitesh Sharma holes out. Bosch goes into the surface again but this is wider on off. Jitesh Sharma advances down the track again and is made to reach out as he looks to flay it over point. Ends up slicing it towards deep point, where Naman Dhir settles under it and makes no mistake. A good little hand from Jitesh comes to an end.

15.4Corbin Bosch to Jitesh Sharma. SIX, SIX! Nicely done! Bosch bangs it in short, over off and middle. Sharma walks inside the line of the ball and uses the pace to hook it over the long leg fence for a six.

15.3Corbin Bosch to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Falls well short! This is on middle. Pandya attempts the pull but the ball is not all that short. He mistimes it aerially and the ball lands well in front of Raj Bawa at deep square leg. Just a single.

15.2Corbin Bosch to Krunal Pandya. no run, Served on a back of a length at 142.8 kph, on off. Krunal Pandya shimmies down the track and flat bats it to mid off.

15.1Corbin Bosch to Krunal Pandya. SIX, SIX! Krunal made it look so easy. Bosch hits the back of a length, on middle. Pandya picks up the length quickly and swings across with the angle. Pummels it over mid-wicket and it goes all the way.

Last 5 overs left. RCB need 49 runs to win. Corbin Bosch (3-1-13-2) is back on, replacing Raj Bawa.

14.6Jasprit Bumrah to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Off-cutter, on a back of a length, on off. Krunal runs it down to deep third to pick up a single.

50 runs for Krunal Pandya 14.5Jasprit Bumrah to Krunal Pandya. 2 runs, FIFTY FOR KRUNAL! From 32 balls. An outstanding knock from the all-rounder on a challenging surface. Time and again, he has shown his value to this RCB outfit, whether it be with the bat or the ball. Full and angled in on the off stump. Pandya has a heave across the line. It comes off the inner half and goes wide of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

14.4Jasprit Bumrah to Krunal Pandya. no run, Attacking the front pad with a good-length ball. Krunal tugs it to mid-wicket.

14.3Jasprit Bumrah to Krunal Pandya. no run, From around the wicket for the left-hander. Bumrah spots Krunal backing away and he follows him with a length delivery. Pandya does not pick the slower one and is slightly early into the stroke. Chips it away from Bumrah to his right. Sharma was keen for a single but was sent back.

14.2Jasprit Bumrah to Jitesh Sharma. 1 run, Fuller now, around off. Jitesh knocks it back past the bowler with a straight bat. It goes to the right of mid off and the batters cross over for one.

14.1Jasprit Bumrah to Jitesh Sharma. FOUR, FOUR! Top shot! Fractionally short and equally wide on off. Jitesh presses back and gets on top of the bounce. He punches it with a high elbow and the ball races past cover for a four.

STRATEGIC BREAK! Well, this is getting more and more interesting now. Unfortunately for MI, Raj couldn't back up a fantastic wicket-maiden bowled by Bosch. But you can't blame the youngster, as he hasn't bowled much in these situations in the IPL. SKY has trusted his pacers so far, with Jacks and Ghazanfar held back after bowling two overs each. In fact, MI have not even introduced Raghu Sharma into the attack as yet. So, a lot of tough decisions have to be made from Suryakumar Yadav. On the other hand, Krunal Pandya is playing a gem of a knock for his team, inching close to his fifty. And with two big hitters yet to come next, they would like to keep the tempo up with 57 needed off 36 balls. Alright, it's time for Jasprit Bumrah (2-0-10-0) now. Can he produce a wicket for his side here? Let's see...

13.6Raj Bawa to Krunal Pandya. 2 runs, At 132 kph, on middle and leg, on a good length. Krunal Pandya brings his bat out in front and whips it past mid-wicket. Tilak Varma sprints to his left at long on and gets low to make the stop. He lays half a hand on it and the ball threatens to trickle behind into the fence, but Tilak recovers to prevent the boundary and keeps it down to two runs. Just the over RCB needed after the wicket maiden from Corbin Bosch. 16 runs off it.

13.6Raj Bawa to Krunal Pandya. wide, 1 run, Wide! From around the wicket, an off-cutter, dug in short but it goes beyond the tramline on off. Krunal offers no shot.

13.6Raj Bawa to Krunal Pandya. wide, 1 run, Wide! A proper bumper this time by Bawa but this is too high. Pandya lets it go.

13.5Raj Bawa to Krunal Pandya. FOUR, FOUR! Cracked away! Pace off and into the surface, over middle. Krunal stands tall and plays the pull off the front foot. Hits it all along the ground to the right of deep square leg for a boundary. 12 runs off the over with a ball to go.

13.4Raj Bawa to Jitesh Sharma. 1 run, Drags the length back and keeps it around the off pole. Jitesh dabs it behind point and turns the strike over.

100 runs for RCB 13.3Raj Bawa to Jitesh Sharma. SIX, SIX! Jitesh Sharma has had enough of ball watching. Fuller and at the sticks. Jitesh backs away to give himself room and swings through the line with mid off inside the circle. He tonks it way over the fence for a biggie. The 100 is up for RCB.

13.2Raj Bawa to Jitesh Sharma. no run, Six balls without a run for Jitesh. He will be starting to feel the pressure. Angled in on a back of a length, on middle. Sharma stabs it down on the strip.

13.1Raj Bawa to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Down leg, on a short of a length. Pandya stays inside the line and shovels it wide of deep fine leg. Jasprit Bumrah moves to his right to cut it off. There is a slight fumble, but that does not cost MI an extra run. Just a single.

That was a sensational over from Bosch. MI are tightening the screws now. The asking rate is nearly 10.5. Raj Bawa (1-0-8-0) is back on.

maiden over bowled by Corbin Bosch 12.6Corbin Bosch to Jitesh Sharma. no run, Wow! Superb stuff from Corbin Bosch. A wicket maiden. Bosch puts in a bit of effort behind this one. On a nagging length, on middle. Jitesh is taken aback as the ball kicks up but manages to fend it off. RCB need 73 runs off 42 balls.

12.5Corbin Bosch to Jitesh Sharma. no run, So far, so good from Bosch. Delivers it on a hard length, on off. Jitesh angles it in front of backward point and sets off for the run before being sent back by his partner.

12.4Corbin Bosch to Jitesh Sharma. no run, Hits the deck hard, on middle. The ball skids through a bit and stays a bit low but Jitesh blocks it out from the crease.

12.3Corbin Bosch to Jitesh Sharma. no run, Bosch goes slightly wide on the crease and pushes the length up, on middle. Sharma covers the line and defends it out.

12.2Corbin Bosch to Jitesh Sharma. no run, Bashes the hard length, over off. Jitesh stays back to keep it out.

Another massive moment in the game as Bethell falls. Jitesh Sharma is the next batter in at number 6. He has been short of runs this season and this is a huge opportunity for him to get the job done for his side.

12.1Corbin Bosch to Jacob Bethell. out, OUT! CAUGHT! Jacob Bethell could not have picked out the fielder in the deep any better. Corbin Bosch strikes on his return to the attack. This is a length ball, angled into the pads. Bethell plays a wristy flick and has no intention of keeping it on the ground. He fails to pick the gap and hits it straight down the throat of Tilak Varma at deep square leg. Tilak seems to have lost the ball in the lights for a moment, but managed to hold on close to his chest eventually. The 55-run stand has been broken. RCB are 94/4, needing 73 runs from 47 balls.

RCB need 73 runs from 48 balls. MI are in desperate need of a wicket here to get back into the game. Corbin Bosch (1-0-13-1) is back on. He replaces Raj Bawa.

11.6Am Ghazanfar to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, Another single to end the over, 12 off it. Bowled from around the wicket and angled down leg. Jacob Bethell sits down and sweeps it down to deep backward square leg for a run.

11.5Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Floated full and on leg, eased down to long on for one more by KP.

11.4Am Ghazanfar to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, Nicely flighted, very full and on leg. Bethell looks to work it away but is beaten in flight, getting an inside edge onto the pads. The ball trickles away into the off side and they get a single.

11.3Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Dragged length around off, stays low as well and Pandya pulls it away to deep mid-wicket for a run.

11.2Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. SIX, SIX! Swung away over the ropes. Tossed up, much fuller on middle and leg, Krunal Pandya takes a step forward, and slog sweeps it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. This brings up the 50-run stand between Krunal and Bethell.

11.1Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. 2 runs, Slightly quicker through the air, on a length and on leg. Pandya lunges ahead and clips it wide of deep mid-wicket for a single. The batters go for the second run as well and make it as the throw at the bowler's end is just wide. Had that hit, Behell might have been in trouble.

10.6Raj Bawa to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Short of a length, angled across the batter. Pandya lets the ball come on and angles it towards backward point for a quick single. 85 needed now off 54 balls.

10.5Raj Bawa to Krunal Pandya. no run, Nice changeup from Bawa. A slower bumper, dug in well short and around leg. Pandya tries to come forward and pull it away but is well beaten.

10.4Raj Bawa to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, Slightly short and down leg, worked off the hips and down to deep backward square leg for a single.

30 runs for Krunal Pandya 10.3Raj Bawa to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Back of a length and outside off, dabbed away wide of point for a single.

10.2Raj Bawa to Krunal Pandya. FOUR, FOUR! Stylishly done. Pitched up, around off, Krunal Pandya gets across a touch and gracefully lifts the ball back over the bowler's head for a boundary.

10.1Raj Bawa to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, Dug in short and angled into the batter, pulled away down to fine leg for a single.

Raj Bawa has been called into the attack. MI's 6th bowling option of the night.

9.6Am Ghazanfar to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, Fullish length outside off, hit away to the right of the deep point fielder for a single. 93 needed from 60 balls.

9.5Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, AM Ghazanfar pulls the length back smartly and angles it in from outside off. Krunal Pandya gets a stride in and looks to play a late dab but the ball slides on and brushes the pads before rolling down to short third. KP looks for the run but is sent back as an appeal for LBW is turned down. There is also a shy at the keeper's end as Pandya scampers back but it is wide and ends up resulting in an overthrow. There is a review taken for LBW, but the impact is outside the line of the off stump. Not Out!

Review time. Ryan Rickelton thinks it is pad first, but he feels the impact could be outside the line. After a discussion, Suryakumar Yadav takes the review. The replays confirm it is pad first, but the impact is indeed outside the line. NOT OUT!

9.4Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. FOUR, FOUR! Too full again, and this time, Krunal Pandya puts it away. Tossed up on off, Pandya gives it a real thump as he swats it dead straight down the ground for a boundary.

9.3Am Ghazanfar to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, Stays around the wicket and flights it fuller on middle, drifting it in. Bethell looks to flick but gets an inside edge onto the pads and the ball rolls into the off side for a single.

9.2Am Ghazanfar to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Comes around the wicket to Krunal and floats it fuller on middle. Pandya strokes it through mid on and turns the strike over.

9.1Am Ghazanfar to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, A tad shorter, lands it outside leg stump. Bethell rocks back and hoicks it off the inside half of the blade and behind square leg for one.

STRATEGIC BREAK! The match is interestingly poised with RCB needing 102 runs in 66 balls on what has been a tricky surface to bat on. The dew does not seem to have settled in just yet, but as the ball loses its hardness, one feels the unpredictability of the pitch could ease slightly and make strokeplay easier for the batters. Krunal Pandya has looked busy since his arrival, and it is now about converting this start for both batters as RCB look to take control of the chase. AM Ghazanfar to bowl after the break.

8.6Will Jacks to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, Just another single for Bethell, who isn't able to convert his aggressive strokes into anything meaningful at the moment. Tossed up, full on leg, Bethell shimmies down the pitch again and drives it along the ground to long off for a run.

8.5Will Jacks to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Another one that's floated up on the pads, Pandya works it 'round the corner on the leg side and picks up a single.

8.5Will Jacks to Krunal Pandya. wide, 1 run, WIDE! Flighted one, full and down the leg side. Pandya fails to tickle it away.

8.4Will Jacks to Krunal Pandya. FOUR, FOUR! Swept hard and into the gap as well. Floated up on middle and leg, Krunal Pandya gets down on one knee and sweeps it firmly through square leg for a welcome boundary.

8.3Will Jacks to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, A bit quicker through the air, around off, and sliding on. Bethell rocks back and cuts it through backward point for one.

8.2Will Jacks to Jacob Bethell. no run, Tossed up, very full and angled into the batter. Jacob Bethell comes down the pitch, backs away and ends up squeezing it out to covers.

8.1Will Jacks to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Jacks shortens the length and drifts into the pads. Pandya tucks it away to deep mid-wicket for one.

Halt! Krunal Pandya is receiving medical attention out in the middle. The physio is out there, helping him through a few stretches. Pandya is back on his feet and ready to resume.

to , no run

7.6Corbin Bosch to Jacob Bethell. no run, In-angler bashed on a hard length. Jacob hops on the toes and eases it to square leg.

7.5Corbin Bosch to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Extra bounce from a good length, on off. Krunal Pandya tries to block, but is hit flush on the stomach as the ball grazes his gloves. It rolls into the off side, and they hustle for a single. Bosch is constantly hitting those heavy lengths, which is making the batters a bit uncomfortable due to the variable bounce.

7.4Corbin Bosch to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, Hard length, in the channel, at 136.7 kph. Jacob Bethell guides it towards deep third for a single.

7.3Corbin Bosch to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Oh, another mix-up, but the damage is averted. On a short of a good length, on middle. Krunal takes a baby step forward and tucks it in front of the short mid-wicket fielder. He charges ahead slightly for a single, but suddenly stops and seeing Bethell charge through, he hurries to get to the other end.

7.2Corbin Bosch to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, On a good length, just outside off, this is punched between cover and backward point for a single.

7.1Corbin Bosch to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Needed a direct hit! Raj had one stump to aim at. Hard length, nipping in and around off. Krunal Pandya gets on the toes and dabs it to backward point and rushes through for a single. Raj Bawa picks up and throws in a motion but misses his shy at the batting end, allowing Bethell to scoot through.

6.6Will Jacks to Krunal Pandya. 1 run, Dropped short, on middle and leg, Pandya gets back and across before knocking it down to long on for a run. Only 4 runs from Jacks' first.

50 runs for RCB 6.4Will Jacks to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, Pulls the length back a bit, on middle. Bethell rocks back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket. Robin Minz, the sub fielder moves the other way, but is quick to make amends and stops it. A single taken. 50 UP FOR RCB!

6.1Will Jacks to Jacob Bethell. 1 run, From around the stump, this is pushed through, full, on off. Jacob drives it away to deep cover for a single.

The Powerplay certainly belonged to MI and RCB now need 120 off 84 balls. With that said, Will Jacks is brought into the attack now.

5.5Corbin Bosch to Krunal Pandya. no run, Huge nip-backer from off, on a hard length. Krunal Pandya is tucked up for space. Tries to block it down the pitch, but the ball takes the inside edge, deflects off the thigh pad and drops well in front of the first slip fielder.

It seems like the ball has been lost in the crowd and the fourth umpire is out with a box of balls. The batters are also having a closer look at it, but now the previous ball has been thrown back by the crowd, so no change of a ball for now.

5.4Corbin Bosch to Krunal Pandya. SIX, SIX! Helped on its way! Bosch bangs it short and angles it at the body line of the batter. Krunal Pandya waits for it, swivels on the toes, uses the pace and pulls it over the long leg fence for a 77-meter six.
