619.619.6: Trent Boult to Tim David, SIX! Tim David spoils the over for Boult and finishes off in style as RCB end with 240/4 on the board.

6 Over | Run: 240/4 | Run Rate: 12.00
119.519.5: Trent Boult to Romario Shepherd, This is turning out to be a sensational final over from Trent Boult. Full and on the pads, not quite in the blockhole but good enough. Shepherd clips it to deep square leg for a single.

019.219.2: Trent Boult to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! LBW! Two top-class deliveries from Trent Boult and that's plumb. Boult brings out the cross-seamer, bowling it very full and on middle and off. Jitesh Sharma shuffles to the off side and tries to lean across and lap it or sweep it away but fails to get any bat on it. Sharma is struck on the front leg and up goes the umpire's finger. Dead in front. 
119.119.1: Trent Boult to Tim David, Just a single to start the over. In the blockhole, on leg stump, jammed out towards deep mid-wicket for just a single.
118.618.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Tim David, Full and straight, David clears the front leg but can't get under it, hits it down to long on for just a single. 13 from the penultimate over of the innings. Another wicketless night for Bumrah. But he finishes with figures of 4-0-35-0.
6 Over | Run: 230/3 | Run Rate: 12.11
018.518.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Tim David, No wide given, was there any bat on it? Tim David doesn't agree with the call, but RCB are out of reviews. Very full, down the leg side as Bumrah tries to follow the batter. This one misses the batter and David fails to flick it away.
618.418.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Tim David, SIX! Into the arc and out of the park. Full and sliding down the leg side, David clips it off the legs and sends the ball sailing flat over deep square leg for a biggie.
418.318.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Tim David, FOUR! That's hit with brute force. Full and straight, it is the slower ball but not quite yorker-length. David clears the front leg and whacks it back over the bowler's head for a boundary.
118.218.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Jitesh Sharma, Bumrah errs on the fuller side and serves a full toss on off, Sharma loses his shape and awkwardly hits it down to mid off for just a single.
018.118.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Tim David, Attempted yorker, tails back into the pads, Tim David fails to get it away. The ball brushes the back pad and rolls down to short fine leg. Just a leg bye.

7 Over | Run: 217/3 | Run Rate: 12.06
017.617.5: Hardik Pandya to Jitesh Sharma, Full and wide outside off, flirting with the tramline outside off, but lands inside it. Left alone by Sharma.
217.517.4: Hardik Pandya to Jitesh Sharma, Good work in the deep. Back of a length, on middle, not short enough to pull but Jitesh goes through with the shot. The ball hurries between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket, where Naman Dhir from the latter position sprints across and dives to his right to keep it down to two runs.
117.417.3: Hardik Pandya to Tim David, A surprise bumper, around off and near helmet height. David looks to pull but gets hurried and gets an inside edge onto the body as the ball rolls behind square on the leg side for a single.
617.317.2: Hardik Pandya to Tim David, SIX! David makes the most of the freebie. Poor delivery from Pandya as he misses the yorker and serves a full toss on middle, David sets himself deep in the crease, gets under the flight of the ball and heaves it high over deep mid-wicket for a six.
017.217.2: Hardik Pandya to Tim David, NO BALL! Uh, oh! That's slipped out of Pandya's hand and Tim David is shaking his head, feeling that he should have put that away. A very high full toss, just around off, David is taken by surprise and fails to connect, but it is deemed too high by the umpires. Actually, MI have reviewed this No Ball call, might be just a tactical review from Pandya. The third umpire has a look and finds that the ball is well above David's waist height. Free Hit loading...
417.117.1: Hardik Pandya to Tim David, FOUR! Powered away by David. Banged in well short and outside off, Tim David has to really reach for it but he uses those muscles and forces the slap-shot to the left of the cover fielder for a boundary.

016.416.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Jitesh Sharma, Another golden dot ball. Bumrah nails the straight yorker, and all Sharma can do is get his front leg out of the way and jam the bat down in time. 5 runs so far off 4 balls.
016.316.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Jitesh Sharma, A slower bumper now, bowled into the pitch and outside off. Jitesh tries to reach it and hook it away but misses.

015.715.6: Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, OUT! CAUGHT! Wonderfully bowled by Mitchell Santner and even the MI skipper is absolutely delighted. Tossed up, full and drifted into the leg stump, Rajat Patidar looks to go deep in the crease and swing it over deep mid-wicket but gets cramped for room and ends up lifting it down the throat of the man at long on. Tilak Varma makes no mistake and MI get another timely wicket. 185/1 becomes 194/3 for RCB.
7 Over | Run: 194/3 | Run Rate: 12.13
015.615.5: Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, Darted in, on off and middle, Patidar only manages to jam it back to the bowler.
015.515.5: Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, WIDE! This time it will be a wide. Floated up, wide outside off and this one goes beyond the tramline.
015.415.4: Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, Fired in full and down the leg side, Patidar just hops out of the way as a wide is called. Mitchell Santner isn't happy with the call and feels that the ball is passing within the new guideline and a review is taken. The third umpire checks the replays and finds that it is indeed a fair delivery.
415.315.3: Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, FOUR! Edged away but Rajat Patidar won't mind as he brings up his fastest FIFTY in the IPL according to Ravi Shastri on air, off just 17 balls. Slow and short outside off, turns away, Patidar goes hard at it but gets a big outside edge that goes wide of the keeper and rolls away into the third man fence.
115.215.2: Mitchell Santner to Tim David, In the blockhole again, around middle, Tim David drives it down to long off and picks up a single.

014.414.4: Hardik Pandya to Virat Kohli, OUT! FIFTY AND OUT FOR KOHLI! Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 185/2 as this 65-run stand is broken. Full toss outside off at 135 kph. Kohli goes for the big one down the ground but loses the shape at the moment of contact. The bat twists in his grip, and it flies to the right of Suryakumar Yadav near the rope. It dips on him, but he moves well, bends low to his right and takes a clean catch just inches above the ground. Kohli has to go and is upset with himself.
114.314.3: Hardik Pandya to Rajat Patidar, Jags in from a good length, on middle and leg. Rajat Patidar is a bit rushed on the pull shot and inside edges onto the pads. The ball deflects to the off side in front of square for a single.
114.214.2: Hardik Pandya to Virat Kohli, FIFTY FOR VIRAT KOHLI! Off 37 balls. Back of a length, slanted into the batter, Kohli stands tall and heaves it to deep square leg for a single to get to his milestone.
014.114.1: Hardik Pandya to Virat Kohli, A muted appeal for caught behind, but not given. Kohli, on the other hand, takes the review for wide not given. This is bashed on a length, angled at the leg pole. Virat Kohli gets inside the line a bit to pull but the ball is high enough and he misses. Ball Tracking comes up with the graphic and it shows that it is above the shoulder but below the head height. So, it is deemed a fair ball.
113.813.6: Trent Boult to Virat Kohli, Yes, he can, still 16 off it. A low full toss by the looks of it, on leg. Kohli runs it through the vacant mid on for a single.

012.412.2: Shardul Thakur to Rajat Patidar, WIDE! Rajat has managed to put the bowlers off their lengths in just a handful of balls. Short and slow, sitting up wide outside off.

However, Salt seems to have hurt himself in the process.
19.49.4: Hardik Pandya to Phil Salt, Did that carry? Superb effort from Trent Boult, but he's actually collected the ball on the half-volley and doesn't even appeal for the catch.

8 Over | Run: 222/5 | Run Rate: 11.10
619.719.5: Romario Shepherd to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX! Rutherford is playing a gem here, sadly, it doesn't seem to be enough. A low full toss, wide outside the off stump, Rutherford reaches out and stylishly lofts it all the way over the cover fence for a biggie.

It is a No Ball as the siren goes off and Rutherford will have a go at the Free Hit. Coming to the delivery, this is bowled full on leg stump, Rutherford looks to flick it off the pads, but ends up skying it high towards mid-wicket. A plethora of fielders run towards it but it is the bowler who calls for it and reaches towards the ball, dives in and pouches it brilliantly. However, it all goes in vain.

015.315.3: Rasikh Salam to Naman Dhir, OUT! CAUGHT! Rasikh Salam might be struggling with his fitness, but he's got a wicket here. Rasikh peppers that hard length and bowls it just outside off. Naman Dhir stays back and looks to power it through the off side but gets it high on the bat.

615.115.1: Rasikh Salam to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX! It's go big or go home time and Sherfane Rutherford has just deposited that deep into the stands.

And the cramp is also back for Rasikh, not a good sign for RCB.

214.214.1: Jacob Duffy to Hardik Pandya, Good effort! Full and outside off. Hardik puts his head down and slices it over cover. Phil Salt is quick across the turf at long off to his left and he puts in the dive to prevent the boundary. Two runs taken.
014.114.1: Jacob Duffy to Hardik Pandya, Wide! Tries to keep it away from the batter's arc, does Duffy. This slips beyond the tramline on off. Hardik lets it go.

He celebrates the wicket by bowing to someone in the dugout. Suryakumar Yadav is in disbelief. Tossed up, on the pads. Suryakumar gets down on a knee for the sweep but gets the height and not the distance.
