IPL 2020, RCB vs MI: Devdutt Padikkal and Aaron Finch have given RCB a good start.© BCCI / IPL
AB de Villiers and Devdutt Padikkal are now speeding up as death approaches. Padikkal took James Pattinson for consecutive years and De Villiers has also set his limits. The Mumbai Indians came back by firing Virat Kohli after he fought for 3 of 11 balls. RCB’s Aaron Finch got his fourteenth Indian Premier League (IPL) fifty with just 31 balls with seven fours and one six but was unable to continue to the end. He hit Kieron Pollard in front of Trent Boult. However, Finch and Devdutt Padikkal gave the Royal Challengers Bangalore a great start after being asked to hit by the Mumbai Indians in Game 10 of the 2020 IPL. They added 81 runs for the first wicket as Finch exploded against the pacemakers and Mumbai spinners alike. (LIVE SCORE CARD)

I’m looking to throw things back
Aaron Finch’s wicket has slowed things down for RCB.
New batsman Virat Kohli is not known to face bowling from the first ball and the time it takes to lay his eye will be how long MI will have to get another breakthrough.

Finch stops him in the middle of the gate for four.
On the next ball, Chahar returns to the short pins and goes down the side of the leg. Finch paddles on the thin leg for another four.
And then, as Chahar tosses a stump to stump, Finch makes room and hits the lid for a hat-trick of four.

19:49 (IST)
Rahul Chahar gives everything on the field
Finch has taken full advantage of field restrictions and has taken aerial shots.
Hit one over the middle and the ball lands out of reach of Rahul Chahar, who steps inside the circle.
But Chahar gives it everything and dives to prevent the ball from crossing the rope.
Two runs saved for the team.

-
19:41 (IST)
Fallen!
Hard opportunity, but you should seize them to make an impact.
Finch flies again, this time on a square leg. He does not time well and Krunal Pandya comes running from the fence, reaches the ball but does not hold.
Pattinson lets out an “ARGH” of disappointment. How expensive will this be?
-
19:40 (IST)
FOUR!
Finch is fine now, and he shows it by dancing down the floor to Pattinson.
However, he gets a top edge that carries the ball over the goalkeeper’s head and slides four four.

Finch has entered the box!
