RCB 53-1 (8 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard


Left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya comes into the attack. Vohra plays a nice drive through the covers off the first ball as Pollard at long-off dives full length to his right to stop the boundary and concede just two runs.

He looks to swing it on the leg side but is beaten before he finally connects off the fifth ball for two more runs and then keeps strike with one off the last ball as RCB reach 43 for one in six overs.

Leg-spinner Mayank Markande comes into the attack. Vohra pulls the first ball to deep midwicket for one before Brendon McCullum reverse sweeps the next ball past short thirdman for a four to get off the mark.

A leg bye to McCullum before Vohra picks one off the last ball as RCB reach 50 for one in seven overs.

Krunal bowls another tight over, giving away three runs, including a leg bye, with Mumbai looking to build some pressure.

15 runs from the last three overs, takes RCB to 53 for one in eight overs, with Vohra on 38 from 28 balls and McCullum on five.

The pitch is offering some turn to the spinners as Krunal gets it to turn big and beat McCullum twice in a row.

But they will need to keep the scoreboard moving in the middle overs and ensure that RCB post somewhere around the 160-run mark.
