Dubai: In the first 10 matches of the current IPL, 2 ties have been seen. After the Delhi-Punjab match, the Mumbai-Bangalore match was also decided in the Super4 over. Mumbai (1, 1, 0, 4, wickets, 1 bye) scored just four runs in the Super 8 over on Monday. Kohli-de-Villiers gave the RCB (1, 1, 0, 6, 1, 4) a thrilling victory. Kohli finished the match by hitting Yashpreet Boomer. De Villiers won the Player of the Match award.Earlier, Virat Kohli (19, 1-3) failed in the third consecutive match. Although the RCB got off to a good start, Kohli was personally under intense pressure to speak his physical language. After playing 11 balls, leg spinner Rahul Chahar played a light shot and returned with an easy catch to the opposing captain Rohit Sharma in the extra cover area. Despite Kohli’s failure, Royal Challengers Bangalore, who lost the toss and elected to bat first, took a big wicket of 201 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. The opening pair of Devdatta Padikal (56, 60 balls) and Aaron Finch (52, 35 balls) laid a solid foundation. AB de Villiers (55 *, 24 balls) and Shivam Dubey (24 *, 10 balls) hit well. Rohit Sharma (9), Quinton D’Cock (19), Suryakumar Yadav (0) and Hardik Pandya (15) were all out for cheap. At this point, Kiran Pollard partnered with Jharkhand star Ishan Kishan to increase his chances. Mumbai needed 16 runs from the last over. Ishan (9,576 balls, 2 fours, 4 sixes) hit a six off the fifth ball and was caught to end the match. The last ball was bowled by Kiran Pollard (40 *, 29 balls, 3 fours, 5 sixes). In addition, Ishan and Pollard’s partnership (117,51 balls) was in vain.
