Sep 28, 2020: RCB beat MI in Super Over: Thanks to half-centuries from Devdutt Padikkal, Aaron Finch and AB de Villiers, RCB set a mammoth 202-run target for MI in Dubai. But the eventual champions would not let that go easily. Powered by Ishan Kishan’s magnificent 58-ball 99 and Keiron Pollard’s 24-ball 60, MI tied the score in 20 overs. But in the Super Over, they fell short as Navdeep Saini’s fine bowling kept MI at bay and RCB reached a modest 8-run target without breaking much sweat.

But in the end, they fell short by just 2 runs.
