MUMBAI, India (AP) — Royal Challengers Bengaluru broke their 10-year drought at Wankhede Stadium and beat Mumbai Indians by 12 runs in an Indian Premier League thriller on Monday.
Spinning allrounder Krunal Pandya grabbed three wickets in the last over to restrict Mumbai to 209-9 after Bengaluru's strong total of 221-5.
Bengaluru was propped up by Virat Kohli (67), captain Rajat Patidar (64) and Jitesh Sharma's unbeaten cameo of 40 off 19 balls.
Their total could have swelled but fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, coming back from injury, conceded only 29 runs off his four overs, and was the only Mumbai bowler to average for less than 10 an over.
Mumbai threatened to chase down the total as captain Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma combined for 89 off 34 but they fell in the space of four balls at the death.
Bengaluru celebrated their first IPL win at Wankhede since 2015, and their third win in four games this season.
Meanwhile, Mumbai lost its fourth game in five.
