RCB Beat MI by 12 Runs In The IPL Match 20: In the 20th IPL 2025 match, Mumbai Indians lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore in a close game. Batting first, RCB achieved a massive score of 221 runs in 20 overs. The Mumbai Indians team, in return, lost the match by 12 runs. There was a time when the Mumbai Indians team had chances to win this match, but the RCB bowlers were fantastic in the last few overs and won this match for their team. It is a very special win for RCB since this team defeated Mumbai Indians at Wankhede after a gap of 10 years.

RCB’s third victory:

This is the third victory of RCB in this tournament. They are standing at third in the points table. Mumbai Indians lost their fourth match and stand at 8th position. Virat Kohli made 67 runs in 42 balls for RCB. Captain Rajat Patidar also gave an innings of 64 runs in 32 balls. Krunal Pandya took the most 4 wickets in bowling. Hazelwood and Yash Dayal earned 2 2 wickets each.

Mumbai Indians were in the game at some stage, and the reason for this was the turbulent innings of Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma. Hardik Pandya made 42 runs in 15 balls with the assistance of 4 sixes and 3 fours. Tilak made an innings of 56 runs in 29 balls. But even these innings were not sufficient to make Mumbai victorious. Mumbai Indians’ loss was imminent once Hardik Pandya got out after Tilak Verma. Mumbai lost Hardik Pandya’s wicket in the 19th over, and in the final over, Krunal Pandya got three wickets, enabling RCB to win the match.

Kohli’s 13000-run record:

Mumbai Indians won the toss and decided to bowl against the return of major fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Trent Boult provided the momentum for the team by dismissing Phil Salt off the second ball. Later, however, the RCB batsmen, led by former captain Virat Kohli (67 runs, 42 balls), ran amok in the innings till the last moment. Bumrah was given the crease by Kohli, who gave an excellent demonstration of aggressive cricket. He and Devi Dutt Poodikal (37 runs, 22 balls) went on to score 95 runs for the second wicket in just 52 balls to take Mumbai towards their target. As impact player Vignesh Puthur dismissed Poodikal off his very last delivery of the ninth over, the two were parted. Kohli had just completed his half-century in 29 balls, doing what is all too rare in his explosive innings. He became the first Indian to score 13,000 runs in Twenty20 cricket. Kohli became the second quickest to achieve this after previous West Indies opener Chris Gayle.

What happened in the last over In RCB vs MI ?

Mumbai Indians required 19 runs in the final over. RCB handed the over to spinner Krunal Pandya, who had leaked 19 runs in the earlier over. This was a huge gamble but Tilak Verma picked wickets on two successive balls. Following this, he finished the match by picking the wicket of Naman Dheer on the fifth ball.
