Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
That is all from us from this game. Hop over here to follow the Mumbai v Deccan game. This is Abhishek Purohit signing off. Cheers
Chris Gayle is the Man of the Match.
Sherul: "The number of wickets that fell in that chase shows how much RCB rely on Gayle and Dilshan. Seems worrying for them if Gayle doesn't perform now that Dilshan is gone as well."
This is the longest winning streak in the IPL, seven matches and Bangalore go top of the table, and in to the play offs, first team to do so
