Dubai:

Putting up an all-round show, Royal Challengers Bangalore humbled defending champions Mumbai Indians by seven wickets in their IPL Twenty20 match at the Dubai International Stadium on Saturday.

Scorecard: Bangalore vs Mumbai

After restricting Mumbai Indians to a modest 115 for nine, RCB cantered to their second successive win in the tournament in 17.3 overs.

RCB though had a shaky start when left-handed opener Nic Maddinson was cleaned up by pacer Lasith Malinga for 16 and Zaheer Khan wreaked havoc in the very next over with two wickets.

The left-arm pacer sent skipper Virat Kohli for a duck and trapped Sharjah hero Yuvraj Singh lbw for nought in the space of three deliveries.

Wicketkeeper Aditya Tare though ruined Zaheer's hat-trick chance when he dropped Yuvraj on the very next ball after Kohli's dismissal.

But Mumbai's cheer was shortlived as Parthiv Patel and AB de Villiers soon got a grip of the situation to stitch a 99-run unbeaten partnership.

Parthiv mixed the right dose of caution and aggression to score an unbeaten 57 off 45 deliveries. His innings was laced with seven boundaries.

De Villiers at the other end played the sheet-anchor's role to perfection, making an unbeaten 48-ball 45 with the help of three fours and two sixes.

Earlier, Mumbai Indians batsmen failed to counter the clinical bowling display by Royal Challengers Bangalore as the defending champions could only manage 115/9.

Mumbai started on a decent note but soon lost the plot against the RCB pacers.

South African pacer Albie Morkel drew first blood after scalping Mike Hussey for 16 in the 4th over of the innings.

Mumbai wicketkeeper Aditya Tare also couldn't last long as pacer Varun Aaron induced a top-edge from the batsman which landed in the safe hands of Maddinson in the deep.

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal then bowled a magnificent spell to bag two quick wickets, giving away just 17 runs in his quota of 4 overs.

Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma (2) was a prized scalp for the Haryana tweaker and soon the big-hitting Kieron Pollard also fell to his guile.

Ambati Rayudu and Corey Anderson then tried to stem the rot, stitching together a 31-run 5th-wicket partnership, but Mitchell Starc sent the two back in the dug-out in his third over to choke MI.

Rayudu was caught at long off for a fighting 35 as AB de Villiers took his second catch while Anderson followed him soon after to give Starc a hat-trick chance.

The Australian left-arm pacer did not get the hat-trick but ended with impressive figures of 2/21.

Ashok Dinda joined the party when he packed Zaheer Khan back for a duck and Mumbai slipped further.

Harbhajan Singh tried to counter attack with a boundary in his run-a-ball eight-run stay but Aaron soon picked his second wicket.

The Virat Kohli-led RCB are looking to continue their winning momentum after thrashing Delhi Daredevils in their first encounter while MI are still searching for a win after losing the opener against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Teams:

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli (capt), Parthiv Patel (wk), Nic Maddinson, Yuvraj Singh, AB de Villiers, Albie Morkel, Sachin Rana, Ashok Dinda, Mitchell Starc, Yuzvendra Chahal, Varun Aaron.

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (Capt.), Michael Hussey, Aditya Tare (wk), Ambati Rayudu, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard, Corey Anderson, Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Zaheer Khan, Pragyan Ojha.
