RCB beats Mumbai Indians(MI) by the skin of it's teeth!

Hi Friends, welcome to 2021 edition of IPL. The first match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers, Bangalore ended a few minutes ago, with RCB winning by the skin of it's teeth! Set to score 160 runs for a run, RCB struggled, before prevailing over Mumbai Indians. For MI, it was a below par score. They are definitely capable of scoring more runs. However, that was not the case, as Harshal Patel put paid to their hopes! He captured five wickets to restrict MI to 159 runs. From the way Kohli batted at the chase, it appeared that it was going to be a cake walk for RCB. However, the loss of some quick wickets midway seemed to have stifled their chase. The point is RCB continue to be a somewhat above average team and not in the league of CSK or MI. It was Devilliers who provided a late order impetus to the chase and helped RCB move close to the finish. However, one thing we can state with certain, RCB may not be a finalist in this edition and MI may not be a deserving finalist as this year's edition unfolds! Happy IPLing!
