In the air and away! Two taken and 4 needed off 4 balls now. Full around off, Harshal lofts it over mid off and gets a couple. 

Harshal gets the single. 3 needed in 3 balls now and more importantly. AB de Villiers is on strike. Low full toss on the stumps, Harshal manages to hit towards mid off and takes a single. 

 OUT! RUN OUT! AB de Villiers is short of his crease. The run around from one side to another has seen AB eat some time and that fraction of seconds has seen him depart here.

Ishan Kishan takes a brilliant take and quickly disturbs the stumps. AB de Villiers puts a dive but it is not good enough.  He is short of his crease, he knows it, Ishan knows and the replays confirm it. 2 needed off 2 balls.  Super Over anyone? 

 SCORES LEVEL! 1 run needed off the final ball now. On the pads, Siraj looks to flick but misses. It hits his pad and goes behind the stump. Ishan Kishan has a lot of ground to cover and Harshal manages to make it count and get the single. 

 Harshal Patel! The man with the ball and he has held his nerves and gets the run to take his side over the line. Very full on middle and leg, Harshal Patel manages to flick it to the left of short fine leg. Bumrah dives and stops the ball but cannot save the run. Take a bow, Harshal Patel! You beauty! BANGALORE WIN BY 2 WICKETS!

Yorker! Superb from Bumrah. De Villiers manages to jam it to the on side for a single. 8 needed in 8 balls now.

 OUT! RUN OUT! Very good work from Bumrah! Low full toss on off, Jamieson hits it straight back towards Bumrah. He gets his right leg to it. The ball goes behind but not too far. AB de Viliiers calls for a run. Jamieson keeps his head down and goes for it. Bumrah quickly gets to the ball and scores an underarm direct hit at the stumps. Was this single needed? This is the last ball off the over. Maybe de Villiers was better staying at the other end and taking on the final over. This game is still in the balance. First game of the tournament and we might be running out of nails already. 

Low full toss on off, AB de Villiers manages to hit to sweeper cover and keep the strike. 7 needed off the last over for Bangalore to win. Anything less than 6, Mumbai take it. 6 and we start the tournament with a Super Over. Do not discount that possibility out folks.

SIX! SMACKED! AB de Villiers stays deep inside his crease, picks the length early and flat-bats it over long off for a biggie. He is called Superman for a reason.

Back of a length delivery outside off, de Villiers slaps it over backward point this time. There is protection in the deep so just a run.

 Good start from Bumrah to his third over. He bowls a dipping low full toss on the stumps. Not easy to get it away. AB can just get it to long off for one. 

 Bumrah special for Christian. A yorker which hard to get off. It is outside off, Christian for all his experience can only play it back to the bowler. 

OUT! CAUGHT! Dan Christian departs and Bumrah does what he does best. Come, give his skipper, the vital breakthroughs, and win the clutch situations. This was not Bumrah's best delivery. In fact it was a ball to be put away. Short and wide outside off. Generally, an Aussie will smack it to the fence. Christian cuts it with power but finds Rahul Chahar to perfection at backward point. A few inches either side of the fielder and that would have been a boundary.

Length ball on middle, Jamieson knocks it to mid-wicket.

 Double team from Jansen and Boult have seemed to have save a boundary here. Good length ball on off, Jamieson clears his front leg and swings. He gets an inside edge that goes to the right of fine leg. Jansen uses his tall, lanky frame and puts a dive. He deflects it towards Boult who charges in from third man. The Kiwi then puts a dive to keep it inside the rope. The double team of a Kiwi and a Protea saves a run for Mumbai.

Sweep from Christain to start his innings. Flighted on off, Dan Christian sweeps it to deep square leg for a run.

Short outside off, AB de Villiers punches it away from sweeper cover and gets a couple.

 De Villiers now uses his feet and gets to the pitch of the ball. He turns it to the on side and looks for two but the Mumbai fielder is quick to get to the ball and Christian is quick to squash the thoughts of the second. 

OUT! CAUGHT AT SHORT FINE LEG! Maxwell goes and Mumbai are back in it big time! They got Kohli couple of overs back and now have got Maxwell.

Knuckle ball bowled on a length outside off. Patidar looks to defend it with a horizontal bat to the off side. It is too close to him and there is a lack of pace as well.
