Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma gave Mumbai Indians a decent start as the pair added a 50-run stand in the 200-chase against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium. Wanindu Hasaranga, who was introduced in the fifth over, then got rid of the MI openers in the same over as the franchise accumulated 62/2 in the powerplay. Earlier, the MI bowlers produced a good comeback helping the side recover from Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis’ onslaught and kept RCB below 200(199/6). Maxwell smashed 68 in 33 balls, while Du Plessis scored 65(41). The pair added 120 runs for the third wicket after RCB were reduced to 16/2 in 2.2 overs. Mumbai, who opted to field, kicked-off the proceedings on a perfect note as Jason Behrendorff removed Kohli for 1. Behrendorff was the most successful among the MI bowlers as he scalped three wickets and conceded 36 in his four overs.
