Batting first, Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered early blow as Trent Boult dismissed Phil Salt in the first over.

After Hardik Pandya (2/45) dismissed Virat Kohli, it seemed like the Royal Challengers Bengaluru were slowing down but Patidar kept them going and got good support from Jitesh Sharma (40*) at the other end.

Just when the game was looking out of hand for Mumbai Indians, Tilak Varma (56) and Hardik Pandya (42) combined in the middle and some clean ball-striking from them brought Mumbai Indians back into the match. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/48), Hazlewood (2/37) and Krunal Pandya (4/45) bowled the last three overs and they restricted Mumbai Indians. This is Royal Challengers Bengaluru's third win of the season and Mumbai Indians' fourth defeat.
