In the 31st match of the VIVO Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018, Mumbai's inning derailed just after the start and the batsmen couldn't bring it on track after that. RCB pulled up a great show with the ball this time and it did turn the fortunes for the team as they climbed to the 5th spot in VIVO IPL points table. Wickets kept falling at regular intervals and Mumbai had no answer to RCB's bowling attack. Mumbai desperately needed a partnership and RCB was denying it to them. With most of the top order gone much was left on Pandya brothers. Mumbai was in recovery mode as Pandya brothers stuck to the crease to build the much-needed partnership. The match moved towards the last leg and RCB needed a wicket here to avoid any unfavourable twist and that wicket came on the second last over as Krunal Pandya ended up losing his wicket, Mandeep took a simple catch. Hardik Pandya made his fifty and Mumbai needed a big over to win this one but RCB captain Virat Kohli took a splendid catch and ended Hardik Pandya's inning, and so Mumbai's hope of winning the match. RCB pulled a great victory and the revival of their bowling was another good sign for the team.
