RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana put a lid on MI's scoring rate by throwing off-spinner Sneh Rana into the mix. The gamble instantly paid off when Rana removed dangerous Matthews on 19(16). Nat Sciver-Brunt launched a counter-attack and reeled off two consecutive boundaries. As MI appeared to threaten yet again, Rana caught Kerr (9) cheaply in her spin trap.
