Phew! That was some match as RCB edge Mumbai Indians to win the match in the Super Over.

RCB were nearly knocked over earlier as Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard launched a brilliant fightback to help MI tie the match.

Chasing 202 for victory, Kishan and Pollard took their time before going after the RCB bowling to inch closer to victory after losing early wickets.

Both batsmen kept their cool and were happy to take the singles and twos before Zampa bowled a poor 17th over to allow the duo to open the floodgates and bring belief into their chase.

Kishan's fall in the last over put the pressure on Pollard with 5 needed off 2. All he could muster was a four sending the match into a Super Over.

RCB need 8 runs to win in the Super Over.

Bumrah to bowl the over for MI as Kohli and De Villiers come out to get those 8 runs for RCB.

De Villiers on strike and he starts with a single, digs out the yorker and scampers for a single.

Short ball, Kohli pulls it down to backward square where Boult does well to cut the boundary. Just one comes off it.

Next ball is a bouncer, de Villiers edges it, big appeal, umpire raises the finger. MI celebrate but their joy is cut short as de Villiers takes the DRS and the decision is reversed.

6 needed off 3 now.

Short ball next and de Villiers gets a top edge and the ball runs to the fine leg boundary for a four.

2 needed off 2 now and Bumrah bowls a superb yorker. The batsmen take a single.

One needed for victory as Kohli is on strike.

Full toss and Kohli pulls the ball to square leg for a four as RCB win in the Super Over.

Rohit is the new man in but Hardik is on strike. Slow and wide ball that. Hardik tries to go for the big hit but can't get anything on it. The batsmen sneak a single, a bye as Mumbai Indians manage just 7 runs.

Saini comes in to bowl for RCB as Pollard on strike for MI. And Saini starts with a lovely yorker. Pollard squeezes it out and can only get a single.

Hardik is the other batter on strike and he hits the ball to long on and all he can manage is a single.

Another excellent ball, slower one outside the off stump. No chance for Pollard to go after that.

Pollard then hits the ball straight down the ground and another misfield allows the ball to go the long-off boundary.

Next ball, Pollard pulls and he sends it straight down the throat of the mid-wicket fielder and he is out for 5.
