End of inningsMumbai Indians 166/7 (20 ov)
INNINGS OVER — MI 166/7
166 — competitive, dangerous, chaseable but only if everything goes right. MI will feel they have enough. Varma's 57 off 42 (SR 136) was the innings that held everything together, with Dhir (47 off 32) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Kumar (4/23 in 4.1 ov), Shepherd (1/18 in 3 ov), Hazlewood (1/33 in 4.1 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 3 wickets fell as MI tried to accelerate, and what looked like 186+ became 166. RCB need 167 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
