Mumbai Indians wins the toss and opts to bowl first.

It is expected to be a full match between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians as there are no chances for rain in Ahmdabad on March 29. The highest temperature is predicted to be around 36 degrees.

The surface of the Narendra Modi Stadium looks good for batting where we can expect a 200-plus total getting scored easily in the first innings. It also has a good bounce where the fast bowlers can get the movement. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down which means that the spinners can make an impact.

The average batting first score at this ground is around 170 runs. Out of these 36 IPL matches played at this ground, the team batting first won 16 times while the 20 matches have been won by the team batting second.

19 comes from Sam Curran's final over. 

Tim David hits three huge sixes in the last over and gives the momentum RCB were looking for. 

They finished at 196/7. David finished with 22 from 8 balls.

That was an excellent over from the Sri Lankan pacer! 

Only two came from the over. 

He first dismissed Rajat Patidar and bowled two dot balls. 

Then, after a single, he dismissed Krunal Pandya in that over. 

Only two from the over.

Khaleel Ahmed had a pivotal over, mixing runs with a key wicket! 

Khaleel started with Rajat Patidar, who brought up his fifty in style—upper-cutting a short ball for four with excellent timing and placement, a captain’s knock!

Patidar followed with a single to cover on the second, driving a full toss. Jitesh Sharma couldn’t get a short ball away on the third, stuck for a dot on a pull.

Khaleel struck on the fourth—Jitesh pulled a short ball straight to Ravindra Jadeja at deep midwicket, a big wicket!

New man Tim David got going right away, slicing a short ball to the third man fence for four on the fifth. Khaleel finished with a dot, beating David on a cover drive with a full ball, despite an appeal. Khaleel gave away runs but that wicket was crucial! 

9 runs and a wicket (4, 1, 0, W, 4, 0). RCB at 176/5 after the 18th.

Noor Ahmad had a mixed over, grabbing a wicket but conceding a big hit! 

Noor started with Rajat Patidar driving a good-length ball to long-off for a single. Liam Livingstone then smashed a full ball for a six, slog-sweeping it to deep forward square leg—a massive strike!

How do you reply after you are hit for a six? 🤔

Patidar left a good-length ball on the third, and on the fourth, he was beaten on a lofted cover drive for a dot despite looking uncomfortable. Patidar got four more on the fifth, lofting a good-length ball for a boundary, but Jadeja bowled a wide on the sixth, a full ball too far outside off.

Patidar couldn’t capitalize on the last, missing a lofted on drive for a dot. Jadeja took some stick early but finished strong!

Kohli then pushed a short ball to deep square leg for a single on the third, and Patidar flicked a good-length ball to square fine leg for a single on the fourth. Pathirana bowled a wide on the fifth, a yorker too far down leg as Kohli left it.

Kohli followed with a single to deep square leg off a yorker, and Patidar finished with a single to deep third man, gliding a short ball. Pathirana kept the runs in check! 

6 runs from the over (1 LB, 0, 1, 1, 1 WD, 1, 1). RCB at 83/2 after the 9th.

Virat Kohli couldn’t get a good-length ball away on the second, stuck for a dot despite an aggressive cover drive, but pushed a yorker to wide long-on for a single on the third.

Padikkal lofted a full ball for two to deep cover on the fourth, but Ashwin struck on the fifth—Padikkal tried to clear cover again but didn’t get the elevation, and Ruturaj Gaikwad took a diving catch forward, a huge wicket!

RCB 37/0 

Top class over from the left-arm pacer. 

He nearly got Virat Kohli LBW in the first ball. The on-field decision was not out and Gaikwad went upstairs but only to see the ball pitching outside leg stump. 

Third ball went for leg bye but Salt pulled the fourth one for a boundary. After a dot in the next ball, he finished with a couple in the last ball. 

0, 0, 1LB, 4, 0, 2
