Krunal Pandya played a knock to remember as Royal Challengers Bengaluru edged past Mumbai Indians in a last-ball thriller in Raipur on Sunday. With the loss, MI got eliminated from the playoff race. RCB had their heads against the wall after being reduced to 39 for 3 in 5.1 overs. Krunal scored 73 off 46, holding one end tight. However, his wicket opened the gates for Mumbai Indians, but RCB held their nerve until the final delivery to reach home.

They needed two off the last ball and managed to get it. Earlier, Tilak Varma made a 42-ball 57, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar snapped four wickets as RCB restricted MI to 166 for 7 in 20 overs. Sent in to bat, MI were 28 for 3 in three overs. Naman Dhir (47) and Tilak added 82 off 57 to steady the innings, but once they departed, MI struggled to get runs as the RCB bowlers did well to keep them in check. Bhuvneshwar returned figures of 4 for 23.
