Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to field first. RCB had a poor start as Virat Kohli got dismissed against Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah kept picking wickets despite a resilient fight from Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar in the middle. He dismissed du Plessis, Saurav Chauhan, Mahipal Lomror, Vyshak Vijaykumar and Virat Kohli to scalp a five-wicket haul. Later, Dinesh Karthik hit some big shots and pushed RCB to a decen total.
Chasing it, MI opener Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma took apart the RCB bowling in the powerplay. They only kept amplified the momentum with Ishan Kishan scoring his half-century and later Suryakumar Yadav joining with a 17-ball half-century. At no point MI showed signs of slowing down and chased down the target in just 15.3 overs.
