Suryakumar Yadav`s 35-ball 83 batting carnage and Nehal Wadhera`s quickfire 52* handed resurgent Mumbai Indians a comprehensive six-wicket win over shaky Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday. RCB were cruising towards a big total at one stage when MI fought back to apply brakes, and the visitors` failure to put on even 200 came back to hurt them.
Although Hasaranga struck twice inside the fifth over to halt Mumbai`s charge, getting Ishan Kishan caught behind after a rapid 21-ball 42 and Rohit Sharma (7), it did not bear the fruit as Kohli and Co. would have liked. Having been rocked early by Jason Behrendorff (4-0-36-3) who struck twice in the powerplay, Du Plessis (65 off 41) and Maxwell (68 off 33) teamed up to expose MI`s bowling troubles once again while making the most of the perfect batting conditions. But the duo`s batting heroics went in vain as Mumbai`s middle-order chased down 200+ total for the third successive time. While the victory lifted Mumbai Indians to the third spot in the points table, as the five-time champions now have 12 points from 11 games, RCB slipped to the seventh spot with 10 points from 11 matches.
