MI vs RCB, IPL 2025 Highlights: RCB end Wankhede drought, beat MI by 12 runs in thriller

MI vs RCB Live Score: Naman Dhir caught at deep backward square leg fifth ball and that ended the match as a contest. Krunal roared with everything he had, Hardik sat in the MI dug out with a crestfallen expression. Krunal finishes it off with a dot ball and RCB win at the Wankhede for the first time in over a decade. They broke an even longer winless run earlier at the Chepauk Stadium and started the season off by thrashing defending champions KKR at the Eden Gardens.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Fourth ball of the last over, Dhir throws the kitchen sink at it. Edged and it runs behind to the boundary for four. 13 to win off two balls, which is mathematically impossible but 12 needed for a Super Over, which is quite possible.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Deepak Chahar goes for a big haymaker down the ground the first ball that he faces. Salt runs around from deep midwicket, jumps and takes the catch while in the air over his head, then he throws the ball in while stilll in the air and falling beyond the boundary. Tim David arrives in time to pouch the parry. The umpire sends it upstairs and the replays only confirm the brilliance of Salt

s effort.

RCB need 19 to win off four

MI vs RCB Live Score: He fires the first ball across the batter, Santner tries to go big downtown and gets caught at long off. MI need 19 off five.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Well this is straight out of a Bollywood flick really. Krunal Pandya will be bowling the last over to try and deny the team for whom he played for years and years. The team that is captained by his baby brother. Mitch Satntner is on strike, Naman Dhir at the other end, MI need 19 to win off six. Here we go!

MI vs RCB Live Score: The see-saw continues. Naman Dhir had hit Bhuvneshwar for a six off the very first ball he faced, right after Tilak fell. That helped MI end the over well. Hazlewood comes in with MI needing 28 off 12. Full on leg is the first ball, Pandya cramped for room and sends the ball high into the sky. Deep midwicket takes the catch. Now it's Mitchell Santner and Naman Dhir in the middle.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Bhuvi breaks the stand! Slow delivery for the fourth ball of the 18th, dug in outside off. Tilak tries to send it over point but the lack of pace prevents a good connection. The fielder at sweeper comes running in and takes the catch.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Just about 4 overs ago, RCB were dominant. Now this match is on a knife's edge. That's T20 cricket for you.

MI vs RCB Live Score: All right then, the 17th over starts with MI need 52 off 24 balls. A single off the first ball and two twos off the third and fourth, the second of which takes Tilak 51 in 26 balls.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Oh it is a battle of the Brothers Pandya and the younger won is winning it at the moment. Pandya blasts Hazlewood for two sixes and two fours in the 14th over and he started this over on 20 in five balls. Tilak goes to 33 in 17 with a single off the first ball from Krunal, bringing Hardik on strike. And well, these two brothers share a famously strong bond but you wouldn't guess it from what Hardik does next. Krunal throws the second ball wide outside off, Hardik clatters it miles over long off for six. Krunal sends the next one on leg, Hardik smashes it into the top tier over deep square leg.

An astonishing turnaround is underway at the Wankhede.

MI 151/4 in 14.3 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Suyash Sharma had kept SKY quiet in his first two overs but this time, he gets sent everywhere by Tilak. The second ball of the over is hit hard and flat over wide long on for the lowest, most brutal of sixes. Then he smashes the third ball over cover for four. Two runs off the fourth and then Tilak reverse sweeps the fifth ball to the boundary. Takes a single last ball to keep strike.

He was retired out last match, it looks like Tilak has a point to prove today. He is on 31 off 16. Hardik Pandya at the other end yet to face a ball.

MI 116/4 in 13 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Oh the drama! Incredible this from Suryakumar Yadav. He had miscued this same shot and survived to tell the tale because of the freak collision. He goes for the same shot the very next ball he faces and perishes. This time the ball was on a length wide outside off. He is caught at mid off. Dayal is off on a celebratory sprint that takes him from the Wankhede all the way to Nariman Point.

Suryakumar Yadav c Livingstone b Yash Dayal 28 (26)

MI 99/4 in 12 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: The wicketkeeper and bowler come together and neither take the catch. Suryakumar Yadav has walked in the valley of the shadow of death and found a way to take a u-turn and survive. Dayal returns for the 12th over, his second ball is a slowish length delivery around middle. SKY swipes leg side, leading edge and the ball goes oh so high up in the air. Jitesh calls for it, Dayal seems to have not heard that at all and their teammates look on in horror as they both converge on the same spot with their eyes firmly on the ball up in the sky. They smash into each other and the ball lands safely. SKY seemed to have accepted his fate judging by his expression right after making contact with the ball, what a let off.

MI 92/3 in 11.2 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Krunal Pandya gets the wicket that comes out of the pressure created by Suyash Sharma and him. Bouncer from Krunal out of nowhere fourth ball of the 10th, Jacks doesn't really know what to do with it. He plays a sort of a pull shot and puts it down Kohli's throat at deep backward square leg. Wily stuff from Pandya. MI in a right hot mess here.

Jacks c Kohli b Pandya 22 (18)

MI 79/3 in 9.4 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: The batters managed to get three fours off the eighth over by Krunal Pandya but they aren't finding too much success against Suyash. SKY slogs at the second ball of the ninth from the spinner and finds the gap past deep backward square leg for a four. But nothng for them after that except a single off the fourt. Jacks on 22 off 15, SKY on 22 off 20.

MI's chase going nowhere.

MI 78/2 in 9 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Suyash Sharma brought in as Impact sub for Devdutt Padikkal and he bowls the seventh over. Singles off the first three balls and then a huge shout for caught behind against SKY fourth ball. MI vs RCB Live Score: Suyash Sharma brought in as Impact sub for Devdutt Padikkal and he bowls the seventh over. Singles off the first three balls and then a huge shout for caught behind against SKY fourth ball. It was a sweep shot that SKY couldn't connect against a length ball that comes in. Replays show that the ball has missed the bat and moreoever, impact is well outside the line so no LBW either. Just two more runs in that over for MI though. Their required rate goes about 12.50 now and they are still going at only 8.42.

MI 59/2 in 7 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Josh Hazlewood keeps Suryakumar pinned to the crease for four deliveries. MI manage to get two singles towards the end of that over. SKY has scored just six in 10 thus far, Will Jacks at the other end on 14 off seven.

MI need 168 from 84, they are going at 9 runs an over, their rr is 12.

MI vs RCB Live Score: That is an incredible review and it is largely because of Jitesh's incredible input from behind the stumps.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Back to back fours and then gone. That has been the story of Rohit Sharma's life off late but full credit here to Yash Dayal. Rohit hit the second ball through midwicket for four and the third past extra cover for another. Dayal then goes full, swinging into middle and leg. Rohit tries to go down the ground, the movement did him and his stumps are a mess.

Rohit b Yash Dayal 17 (9)

MI 21/1 in 1.4 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Rohit Sharma is out there, facing up to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Ryan Rickleton at the other end. If Rohit gets off to the kind of starts he tries to get off to, well RCB will then have a mountain to climb and so they would want to send him back into the hut as soon as possible.

MI vs RCB Live Score: Here is a summary of what the great man said: “That was pretty good. After losing a wicket on the second ball, we countered pretty nicely. Dev played a brilliant impact knock for us, really changed the momentum towards us. I got a few going as well. That partnership was really important for us to set that total on the board. My strength is to get my touch and feel of the ball early on, then I can play the shots I that I want to. I tried to innovate a bit, tried to play different shots off spin as well and then tried to hit different areas of the ground. You need to keep evolving your game and keep up with the demands of the situation in T20 cricket. When I time the ball nicely early on, I have better chances to contribute.(On Padikkal) When Salty goes early, one of the guys needs to have an impact straightaway and Dev kind of did that for us. He's done that for 2-3 games now, a big score is around the corner for him. He deserves it, he's hitting the ball so well. That partnership was important for us to go deeper into the innings, get guys like Jitesh Livi and Tim David towards the back-end of the innings. What Rajat did is what Rajat does most often. It was a great innings by those two as well - Rajat and Jitesh really got us those extra 20-25 runs. One of their spinners was out of the game. It was difficult for the chinaman to bowl. That gave us 20-25 runs. The wicket wasn't as straightforward. Hopefully we break the jinx today.”

MI vs RCB Live Score: Bumrah nearly got a wicket off the last ball of the innings there but Jitesh reviewed it succesfully. He finishes unbeaten on 40 off 19. Bumrah finishes unbeaten on 0/29. What an innings this has been from RCB overall, pure power-hitting almost. MI need to chase down a target of 222 to deny RCB a first win at the Wankhede in over a decade.

MI vs RCB Live Score: 15 runs and a wicket off his fourth over of the match for Boult. Boult starts off with a wide outside off. Then Jitesh gets down low and sends the ball flying over deep midwicket for six with a truly astonishing shot. Then he walks miles outside off third ball and laps it over fine leg for another incredible six. Jitesh takes a single fifth ball, the last ball is wide and then Patidar's pull goes straight up in the air. Rickleton runs a mile back from his spot behind the stumps, dives forward and takes a sharp catch.

MI vs RCB Live Score: It looks like MI will have a target close to 230 here. Jitesh takes a single off the first ball of that over and then Patidar brings up his fifty in 24 balls by tonking the second ball, which is short, towards the sight screen for a six. Then he smashes the third ball over cow corner for another six. The fourth is sent away from deep backward square leg for a four. Pandya bowls the fifth ball wide and then the batters take a single. The last ball is edged but Jitesh survives the miscued pull shot as it went just over short third man for four.

Patidar on 61 off 28, Jitesh on 17 off six.

RCB 192/4 in 17 overs

MI vs RCB Live Score: Patidar takes a single off the first ball. Jitesh then sends the second ball past backward point for four. The third ball is sent over deep cover for a six. Three runs off the next two balls and then Patidar tucks the last ball away fine for a four.
