Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl, sending Royal Challengers Bangalore in to bat first.

Ishan Kishan reached 99, but Mumbai just missed the target, scoring 89 to level with Bangalore and triggering the Super Over decider. 

Bangalore chose Navdeep Saini to deliver the Super Over to Mumbai's Kieran Pollard and Hardik Pandya managed to score 7.  

RCB batsmen AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli replied with 11 to seal the deal against bowler Jasprit Bumrah, de Villiers earning Player of the Match for his efforts.
