Chasing a huge total of 201, Mumbai were down and out from the game, however, a stunning 58-ball 99 by Ishan Kishan and a blistering 24-ball 60 by Kieron Pollard brought Mumbai back into the game, which ended in a tie at the end of 20 overs as the game went into the Super Over.

Dream11 IPL 2020: Ravi Shastri heaps praise on Washington Sundar

Mumbai got off to a horrible start as they lost skipper Rohit Sharma cheaply for 8 off Washington Sundar. The Bangalore all-rounder, who was given the new ball by captain Virat Kohli, justified his faith as he got rid of the dangerous 'Hitman'. With two left-handers at the crease in the form of Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan, Bangalore persisted with Washington Sundar, who bamboozled the Mumbai batsmen with his spin.

Washington Sundar bowled tight lines and hardly gave away anything to the Mumbai batsmen. The discipline with which Washington Sundar bowled could be measured by the fact that the Bangalore spinner bowled 12 dot balls in the three overs he bowled in the powerplay. In a high-scoring match where runs were scored freely and boundaries were hit at will, Sundar finished with impressive figures of 1/12 in his four overs.
