Earlier, MI won the toss and elected to field first at Wankhede Stadium. Rohit's decision was proved right very soon as Jason Behrendorff took out RCB's best batter Virat Kohli on the fifth ball of the first over of the match. Kohli could score only one run before being dismissed.
Anuj Rawat then came in but was sent back cheaply after scoring six runs off four balls by Behrendorff in the latter's second and innings' third over. Maxwell then joined Faf in the middle and the duo wreaked havoc on MI bowlers.

The Big Show scored 68 off 33 before getting out and Faf scored his fifth fifty of the season, scoring 41-ball 65. MI then pulled things back a bit but some late hitting by Dinesh Karthik (30 off 18), Kedar Jadhav (12 off 10) and Hasaranga (12 off 8) took RCB to 199/6 in 20 overs.
For MI, Jason Behrendorff was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3/36 in his four overs, while Cameron Green, Kumar Kartikeya and Chris Jordan took one wicket each.
