END OF OVER:
20 | 10 Runs | MI: 125/9 | RR: 6.25

Can Bumrah and Co pull off some magic or will RR coast to a win? Find out with Abhimanyu in the chase.

Vismay : "RR has a good opportunity to boost their NRR... Look to finish the game in 14-15 overs"

Sp: "So MI scored half of their last match score. MI can win this match if RR follows the same pattern. "

Raghu: "Don't know if it is already posted, no team has been all out in an innings this IPL season yet. " Yeah, but two teams have been nine down

Yuzvendra Chahal: It's a good wicket. I was trying to vary pace and lengths, and bowl good balls. (On Hardik wicket ball) Before that, I saw a couple of balls turn. Thought this was the time to take a chance, so said let's try this ball (in the slot). I always back my self-belief and skills. In this format I know we can go for hits and wickets in others but our team wanted wickets at that stage and I went for it. There was a bit of dew after 16th over but we need to have a good first six.

9:20pm RR well set to get the second win for a travelling team in this IPL. The pitch was said to be a good one to bat on but Boult and Burger ensured that wasn't the case. The former got two in the first over. He didn't try to swing it as Rohit expected, to nick him off. Then did swing it to Naman to have him lbw. Brevis as impact sub didn't work. Kishan was positive but was done in by a Test-like beauty that seamed away a bit. Nicked him off. Hardik tried turning the tide with a counterattack but perished for 34. Chahal got him by flighting the ball. He was among the wickets, Ashwin bowled tight. The back half of the innings was a slow fizzle. MI batted out their overs but seem unders.

Avesh Khan to Madhwal, 2 runs, Slot on off, 136ks, tries to force a drive. Gets it along the ground to mid-off's left. Buttler stops it with a slide across, it's a half-stop actually. Allows the second to be taken. A bit of an awry throw creates a minor collision between Madhwal and Samson, who was well in front. All good though
