Mumbai Indians finally crossed the 100-run mark in style, thanks to a confident surge from Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir during the middle overs.
Krunal Pandya continued his spell, but MI began to shift gears. Dhir picked up a single early in the over before Tilak unleashed a majestic six over mid-wicket, signalling intent. He followed it up with smart strike rotation, and a quick single brought up MI's 100 -- a crucial milestone after the early setbacks.
The over ended with MI gathering 11 runs from it, taking them to 102 for 3 after 12 overs, firmly rebuilding their innings.
However, the momentum was halted quickly as Rasikh Salam Dar struck soon after coming into the attack. Dhir, who had looked in fine touch, first smashed a boundary and then tried to keep the pressure on -- but was eventually cleaned up for a well-made 47 off 32 balls.
A timely breakthrough for RCB, just as MI were starting to accelerate.
