MI vs RCB: Adios and goodnight! 🌙

A very great evening comes to a fruitful end for all the MI fans! Stunning performance right from the start to the end. 

Well that's all from me folks, this is Muskaan Bhatt signing off. Hope to see you all tomorrow! Goodnight and goodluck! 

MI vs RCB Player of the Match: Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah won the Player Of the Match Award for his outstanding 5-wicket haul vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru. 🫡

All in all, a stunning display of efforts by MI as a whole.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Pandya finishes with a SIXER

Hardik Pandya takes his side home with a massive six. Massive victory for MI, massive heartbreak for RCB. 

Mumbai Indians defeat the Royal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets in a stellar display, winning their 2nd game of the season. 

MI vs RCB Live Score: Four more from Varma's blade

Tilak receives the gift with both hands. Smashes it towards the cover boundary. MI now 1 big hit away from another victory. MI just one hit away from victory in Mumbai.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Massive win loading for Pandya & co.

MI require 9 off 30 balls. 

MI vs RCB Live Score: Hardik, Tilak in there

SKY is gone but Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma are at the crease. MI is just in touching distance, needing 16 runs to win. Will the captain let Tilak shine this time or would he finish it on his own, yet again? (PS: Those who know, they know.)

MI vs RCB Live Score: SKY show is over, but MI's going strong

Another wicket for RCB, but too late in the context of this match. Waist height dipping full toss wide outside the off stump. Surya reaches for it, follows the ball looking to slash up and over point. Plays in the air and finds Mahipal Lomror at deep point. TV umpire confirms the ball was just below the waist. MI loses a review as well. 

52 off 19 balls for SKY!!

MI vs RCB Live Score: Fifty off 17-ball for SKY

Gung-ho stuff from Suryakumar Yadav, who has just notched a 17-ball half-century against RCB - the fastest for SKY in T20s. With this, he has announced his comeback in style after getting out for a silver duck in the previous game. This is a proper hammering for RCB bowlers.

MI - 169/2 after 13

MI vs RCB Live Score: Pandya's here and he starts with a maximum!!

Spectacular start for Hardik! Brings out a big forward stride sitting on a knee. Goes for a big slog sweep clearing the cow corner region! Maximum to start off!

MI - 150/2 after 11.5

MI vs RCB Live Score: Rohit's gone, Reece Topley takes a blinder

Will Jacks takes his maiden IPL wicket as Rohit Sharma goes for 38 off 24 balls. But the highlight of that wicket was Reece Topley, the fielder. What a catch by Topley! Dives to his left, and completes a one-handed stunner. Is there a twist? A maiden IPL wicket for Jacks.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Maxi drops SKY

SKY gets a life as Maxwell drops a straightforward chance at backward point. It was traveling alright, but Maxi had to take these. RCB can't afford these at the moment. He has hurt himself in the process. The Australian walks off the field for the treatment. And, SKY smashes another maximum to enjoy his lifeline.

MI - 135/1 after 11 overs.

Debutant Will Jacks comes onto bowl. Can he break the first blood for RCB?

MI vs RCB Live Score: Faf du Plessis on King Kohli

"Virat has been excellent for us. The frustrating thing is that you can't look at the opposition and say they outplayed us. We want the players to be hungry and stay motivated. In T20 cricket, things can change quickly and we are looking for another opportunity."

MI vs RCB Live Score:  Mumbai Indians win the toss and opt to bowl first 💪🏻

Here's what Hardik had to say about the game:

"We've gotta bowl first. It looks like a similar track to what we played in Delhi but just keeping the weather in mind. In the evening it might get a little better to bat on, we would like to chase."

MI vs RCB Live Score: Toss is about to begin soon!

Who do you predict will win the toss?

MI vs RCB Live Score: ICYMI 

Will Jacks will be making his debut for RCB tonight! and none other than Virat Kohli who has handed him the RCB cap. 

MI vs RCB Live Score: Who will win the toss? 🧐

Interestingly, the team that wins the toss first is likely to bowl first. As historically, chasing becomes easier once the dew sets in. 

MI vs RCB: Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report

The Wankhede stadium pitch, renowned for its true bounce and carry, traditionally favors pacers over spinners, with the latter often finding themselves at the receiving end of relentless onslaughts from the batsmen.

The implementation of the two-bouncer rule in this year's IPL injects an additional dimension of aggression into the bowlers' arsenal, potentially tilting the balance in their favor on what is historically a chasing ground, with dew playing a pivotal role.

With 111 IPL matches hosted at the venue, the statistics tilt slightly in favor of the chasing team, winning 60 matches compared to 51 by the team batting first. Mumbai's formidable total of 235 in the season opener further underscores the venue's propensity for high-scoring encounters.

MI vs RCB: Watch the action at Wankhede Stadium 🎥

MI vs RCB Team Previews: Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru, after having a promising game at home against Punjab Kings looked like a unit to reckon with. However, nothing has been going their way post that game. Nobody apart from Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik has been firing this season.

The age-old worry of bowlers leaking runs persists, as even Siraj, who was supposed to lead this attack has been all over the place. Reece Topley looked good in their for his 2/27 in 4 overs and Yash Dayal has been blowing hot and cold.

Bengaluru will have to fix-up things as soon as possible before another campaign derails and they would see facing struggling MI as the opportunity to turn things around.

MI vs RCB Team Previews: Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians have finally got off the mark on the points table against Delhi Capitals after defeating the latter by 29 runs. Batting first, they got a fantastic start from their openers before ex-skipper, Rohit Sharma fell to Axar Patel on 49(27). Ishan Kishan also scored a quick 42(23). On his return, Suryakumar Yadav couldn't make his mark as he got out to a two-ball duck.

Tim David added important 45*(21) and Pandya struggled to get going as he scored 39(33). Romario Shephard took on Nortje and scored 32 runs in the final over, which also turned out as a match-winning cameo. and MI ended their innings with 234/5. 

On the bowling front, their lead pacers, Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah performed on the expected lines, ending up with the figures of 6/56 from their eight. Tristian Stubbs had people at the edge of their seats with his 71*(25) but Mumbai kept taking wickets from the other end.

तू कसा आहेस? 

मला तुमच्याबद्दल माहिती नाही पण मी खूप उत्साहित आहे! Hahaha, for all the English readers in case you missed it, I just expressed how excited I am for this one-match clash between... well not the table toppers from the top but iykyk.
