MI vs RCB IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians Beat Royal Challengers Bangalore
Both MI and RCB were under immense pressure heading into this match. However, the momentum favored Hardik Pandya and his team, following their victory in the previous game against Delhi Capitals, whereas the visitors had suffered three consecutive losses prior to their latest encounter at Wankhede Stadium.
Asked to bat first, Kohli (3 off 9) departed early and was soon followed by Will Jacks (8 off 6). Faf du Plessis (61 off 40) and Rajat Patidar steadied the ship, with the pair adding 82 runs for the 3rd wicket. However, the true impetus was provided by Dinesh Karthik, who scored a quickfire 53 off just 23 balls, propelling RCB to a challenging 196/8 in 20 overs.
RCB pinned their hopes on their opening bowlers’ spell, yet once again, they let down Faf du Plessis and the team. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma made Reece Topley and Mohammed Siraj seem pedestrian, with the duo conceding a staggering 71 runs in just six overs.
By the time Akash Deep provided RCB with their first breakthrough, it was already too late, as MI had raced to 101 runs in a mere 8.5 overs. Any aspirations of a comeback were dashed by Suryakumar Yadav‘s (52 off 19) relentless onslaught.
