In another unbelievably thrilling game of this Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Mumbai Indians in a Super Over at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday, 28 September.

After being put in to bat, captain Virat Kohli could only manage another single-digit score but three batsmen notched half-centuries as RCB posted 201/3. An outstanding partnership between Kieron Pollard (24-ball 60) and Ishan Kishan (58-ball 99) then helped MI close-in on the target, but the duo couldn’t help the team cross the line.

After a dramatic 20th over, MI finished on 201/5, sending the match into the second Super Over of this IPL edition.

With this win, RCB moved to third place in the league’s standing while Rohit Sharma-led MI slipped dropped a place to fifth.This was the second super over of this edition's Dream 11 IPL 2020.

Given RCB’s travails with catching and fielding in general in this tournament so far, Pawan Negi was easily one of their most valuable players. The substitute’s three out-of-the world catches in the deep put his team in a position of ascendancy for the better part of the match tonight.

In the 16th over of MI’s chase, he spilled a full blooded Kieron Pollard drive against Adam Zampa and tipped it over the boundary line for a six. Even if he was kicking himself for the dropped chance, Negi didn’t show it. When he took those catches too, he didn’t go for over-the-top celebrations.
