IPL 2021: 3 Best matches between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore
In the 27 IPL matches played between the two teams, Mumbai Indians have an upper hand with 17 wins.
2. RCB vs MI, Dubai, 2020
The 2020 IPL season was played under a tremendously difficult situation of the coronavirus. In these times, cricket fans were almost begging for some good cricketing action. During the early stages of the tournament, a clash between Kohli’s Challengers and Rohit’s army turned out to be an absolutely breathtaking affair.
RCB batted first and some positive approach with the bat propelled them to a score of 201 for 3 in their 20 overs. Aaron Finch (52 from 35 balls), Devdutt Padikkal (54 from 40 balls) and AB de Villiers (55 runs from 24 balls) scored fifties which set a platform for Shivam Dube (27 from 10 balls) to launch an assault on the Mumbai Indians’ bowlers in the death overs.
In response, Mumbai was nowhere in the chase until the 12th over, when the scorecard read 78 for 4, with Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard. With 80 runs needed off the last four overs, the pair attacked the RCB bowlers fearlessly but only managed to pull off a tie. Kishan scored 99 off 58 balls while Pollard made a 24-ball 60. In the super over, Mumbai managed only seven runs, which was chased down by RCB comfortably.
