    2.3 goes straight up, and Mandhana falls early! Length outside off, enticing the booming lofted drive. Mandhana goes after it but loses her shape just a tad. Slices across it and Sciver-Brunt, after backpedalling from extra cover, does the rest. Massive, massive moment in the game! 14/1
    5.4 huge appeal, and given! That looked pretty adjacent! Fired in full on middle and off. Devine, having taken a step across her stumps and down the track, swipes at it. Makes no contact whatsoever and gets pinned on the back leg. Devine is not keen to review, but seems like Perry convinced her to do so. No bat involved. Three reds on Ball Tracking, with the ball hitting the inside half of middle stump. Umpire Mohit Krishnadas' decision is upheld, and RCB lose their third inside the powerplay 33/3
    4.6 Meghana bites the dust too! Hard length on middle and leg, and this climbs onto Meghana. She swipes across the line but is cramped for room. Cannot free her arms and the ball skews off the splice. Keerthana settles under it at short fine and completes the easiest of catches. RCB lose two in the powerplay, and they are in all sorts of trouble now! But hang on, the third umpire has been called in to check whether this was above the shoulder. If it was, it would be a No ball because there had already been a bouncer earlier in the over. Looks conclusively below the shoulder, and the third umpire agrees. Meghana has to go! 31/2

    8.2 straight to extra cover, and taken at the second attempt! Full outside off and it is there to be hit. Ghosh winds up and absolutely smashes it. Sajana is in the firing line and she can only parry at the first attempt. Keeps her wits about herself, though, and catches the rebound to her right. Another body blow for RCB, and they could do with this time-out! 42/4
    12.1 cleans her up! Hard length that pitches on leg and continues on with the angle. Skids off the surface too and Molineux is beaten for pace more than anything else. Stabs at it in hope, only to see her off stump flattened moments later. Just as a partnership was beginning to brew, RCB lose another! 71/5
    18.5 holes out to deep mid wicket! Juicy full toss on leg stump. Wareham backs away and has a massive swing at it. Does not get it out of the middle, though, and gets more elevation than distance. Kerr pouches it at deep mid wicket, and a useful cameo comes to an end! 123/6

    3.5 Devine intervention! Length outside off and Yastika is tempted into the drive again. The shot is on, given how wide it is but this time, she gets a healthy nick that Richa snaffles up sharply to her left. An excellent tone-setting innings, though, and the required run-rate has been brought down to less than run-a-ball! 45/1
    7.4 Matthews perishes! Shortish on middle and off. Matthews thinks she can pop this over extra cover but just does not get the elevation she is after. Comes off the lower part of the bat and Mandhana takes the simplest of catches on the edge of the circle! Both MI openers now back in the shed! 69/2
    13.3 finally a breakthrough! Full outside off and Sciver-Brunt brings out the reverse sweep. Gets a decent chunk of it but hits it uppishly and close enough to Molineux, who leaps into the air and completes a smart overhead grab. Surely too little, too late? 118/3
