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.
