Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli then took from where Patel left and the duo took the score to 94 at which again Harbhajan striked and got the wicket of dangerous looking Gayle. AB de Villers and Kohli then took the team score past 100 run mark. Just when the duo started to take the match away from Mumbai, Bumrah bowled AB de Villers and in the very next over, Virat Kohli also got out after scoring 35. This twin blow brought Mumbai back into the game and the bowlers seized the opportunity. One after the another, wickets started to fall. RCB needed 35 to win from last 2 overs but with no set batsmen on crease, they could manage to score just 168/8 and thus lost the match by 19 runs.

Earlier RCB won the toss and elected to field. Mumbai Indians openers added 25 runs in 3 overs before Ben Dunk got out. Chidhambaram Gautam and Ambati Rayudu then took the team score past 50.
