Cricket News: Twitter reactions as RCB thump MI to leave champions reeling | Twitter reactions after RCB beat MI by 54 runs.
Mumbai Indians are on the verge of losing out on a playoff spot due to the recent poor performances and yesterday was no different when they failed to chase 165 posted by RCB at Dubai.
After Kohli and Maxwell each scored fifties to carry their team to 165, Mumbai started pretty well with Sharma and De Kock setting the platform. But after losing De Kock in the seventh over at a score of 57, it went all downhill from there. Only Sharma and De Kock were able to score in double digits and the rest of the scorecard looks like a phone number.
After Mumbai made the questionable decision to send in Krunal Pandya at a crucial stage, Harshal Patel soon took a memorable hat-trick to consign Mumbai Indians to their third-straight defeat. In the end, it was a crucial win for RCB, who themselves had lost two straight matches in the UAE leg.
With that win RCB now sit on the third spot and MI are in the seventh spot. Here are some twitter reactions from the match yesterday:
