Good that he got a wicket on the last ball of his quota of overs. Just 3 runs off the over. Mumbai Indians 79/3 (73 runs required from 42 balls). 12.6 overs: OUT!

Just 6 runs off it. Mumbai Indians 58/1 (94 runs required from 11 overs). 8 overs: Jordan is not proving an effective bowler.

Sreenath Aravind has struck on the first ball of his over. Parthiv Patel departs. First blow to Mumbai Indians. Parthiv Patel c Watson b Aravind 1 (2b 0x4 0x6). 1 over: Good over by Stuart Binny to start the defence. Just 2 runs off it. Rohit Sharma and Parthiv Patel have marked their guards. Stuart Binny has the ball. Let's start the chase! Can bowlers win another match for RCB? 152 is not a very big target on this ground but they should draw confidence from the previous match.

Royal Challengers Bangalore score 151 for 4. 19 overs: Good over by Bumrah. 7 runs off his over. RCB 138/4. 18 overs: Biiiiiiig over for RCB.

A very timely knock for RCB. 16 overs: 10 runs off Bumrah's over. It could have been a good over RCB but Watson's run out spoiled it.  RCB 101/4. 15.3 overs: OUT! Shane Watson wanted to try his luck there and he must be disappointed. Hit straight to Rohit at cover and started running. Rohit hit the stumps directly and Watson was way out of the crease. Shane Watson run out 15 (14b 1x4 1x6). 15 overs: Rahul is proving his credentials as a limited-overs batsman. He hit McClenaghan for 15 runs in the over with the help of two FOURS and a SIX. RCB 91/3. Rahul 45 (38b 3x4 2x6), Watson 9 (12b 1x4 0x6), McClenaghan 3-0-24-1, Southee 3-0-20-1. 14 overs: Watson hit a good shot over Southee's head for FOUR to collect 7 runs off the over. RCB 76/3. 13 overs: Krunal Pandya ended his quota with a 3-run over.

He dismissed ABD and gave just 2 runs. RCB 62/3. 10.1 overs: OUT! AB de Villiers looked to hit the back of the length ball over mid-wicket but some extra bounce did him in. Big blow to RCB's hopes.

ABD hit Bhajji for a SIX off the first ball. Bhajji had a chance to dismiss ABD on the next ball but he himself spilled a diving catch. 11 runs off the over. RCB 60/2. 9 overs: Two exquisite shots by Rahul in the over fetched RCB a SIX and a FOUR.

Better over RCB. ABD need to play a similar innings he played in the previous match against KXIP. RCB 33/2. 6 overs: Powerplay is over. Mumbai Indians have done really well in the first six overs.

PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bangalore will be looking to take the confidence from their last night's nerve-wracking one-run victory when they clash with Mumbai Indians, who suffered a humiliating defeat in their previous game, in an IPL match. Currently lying at a lowly sixth position in the points table, a win will be crucial for the Royal Challengers to keep their hopes of making the IPL playoffs alive. Snapping the three-match losing streak with back-to-back victories against Rising Pune Supergiants and Kings XI Punjab is expected to hold them in good stead when they play at their own backyard at the Chinnaswamy stadium here. In fact, their victory in a nail-biting finish over Kings XI Punjab in Mohali last night should give the Bangalore outfit a lot of confidence. A loss today, however, will land them in big trouble and it would become tougher for them to enter the playoffs. All eyes once again will be on skipper Virat Kohli, whose performance in the ongoing IPL has left oppositions dumbstruck. He is leading the batting chart with 561 runs so far, which includes two centuries and four half-tons. Besides the captain, RCB have also been relying heavily on their star batsman A B de Villiers. The South African proved his prowess yet again last night when he hit a 35-ball 64 to guide the team to a competitive 175. Opener KL Rahul (42) also chipped in with important contribution. Rahul and all-rounder Shane Watson have proved to be important cogs in Bangalore's wheels with some crucial knocks. With the likes of Chris Gayle warming the bench, the Royal Challengers perhaps have the most intimidating batting line-up, but their pedestrian bowling attack has failed to defend 180-plus scores in most of the matches. Their two best performers with the ball have been Watson and Yuzvendra Chahal but the likes of Stuart Binny, Varun Aaron and Chris Jordan have all leaked runs. Today, RCB bowlers would have to put up a much better performance to support the team's batting department. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians would be keen to make quick amends from their humiliating 85-run defeat at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous match. Placed fifth in the table with 10 points, Mumbai Indians have a great chance of displacing Delhi Daredevils from number four position in the table and entering the top-four bracket with a win against the home team here. A loss will put Mumbai Indians under tremendous pressure as they would need to win their remaining three games after today's match, which would be very tough given that they will have to get acclimatised to their new home venue, Visakhapatnam. The last time the two teams met, Mumbai Indians had defeated the Royal Challengers, and the Rohit Sharma-led side would hope to repeat the feat. Rohit has been leading the team from the front with 388 runs so far, hammering five half-centuries. Ambati Rayudu and Parthiv Patel have also stepped up whenever their captain has failed to do the job. Mumbai have big-match player Kieron Pollard in their ranks to guide the team to a domineering position with his lusty blows. As far as bowling is concerned, Mumbai have been depending on their pace attack when it comes to restricting the rival teams. New Zeland's Mitchell McClenaghan has been leading the attack, having claimed 14 wickets so far to be placed third in the top-wicket takers' list. Others in Jasprit Bumrah and Tim Southee have taken 11 and seven wickets, respectively to be the next best bowlers for Mumbai. In the spin department, old warhorse Harbhajan Singh (seven wickets) and the Pandya brothers -- Hardik and Krunal (three wickets each) -- have also contributed to the team's success.
