Pollard tried to muscle the next ball for a maximum but he holed out at deep midwicket as Pandya crossed the strike. Rohit Sharma joined Hardik Pandya at the crease for the last ball.

For Bangalore, it was up to the dynamic duo of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli to win the game for the team which they could have won way earlier. The responsibility to guide Mumbai to victory lied in the hands of ever-reliable Jasprit Bumrah. The first delivery bowled by Bumrah was a low full-toss which AB de Villiers guided to long-on for one. Virat Kohli pulled the next ball which was pitched in short by the Mumbai pacer for another single.

Bumrah stuck to his short ball tactic in the Bangalore vs Mumbai Super Over as he bowled a quick bouncer to AB de Villiers. The South African international tried to pull it but missed the ball as the keeper started appealing. The umpire raised his finger and AB de Villiers went for the review immediately. The DRS suggested that the ball hadn't nicked the bat and the Bangalore dugout heaved a sigh of relief.

With two runs required in two balls, Bumrah bowled a toe-crushing yorker, however, de Villiers managed to play it out and got a single. Virat Kohli, who had a forgettable game individually, was on strike with one required of the final ball. The Bangalore skipper managed to flick a low-full toss bowled by Bumrah for a boundary to send the Bangalore camp into jubilation.
