Faced with the prospect of their fifth successive defeat in the IPL 2015, Mumbai Indians' top order, particularly Lendl Simmons, Unmukt Chand and Rohit Sharma, pulled together to help set up a 18-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bangalore.
A total of 209 did eventually prove to be a match-winning one but Mumbai Indians' defence underlined yet again how heavily dependent they are on Harbhajan Singh and Lasith Malinga. The offspinner choked Royal Challengers' start with tight overs and the wickets of Chris Gayle, Manvinder Bisla and Rilee Rossouw. When a sensational cameo from AB de Villiers and David Wiese's clean-hitting threatened to take the game away, Lasith Malinga turned up with his accurate yorkers to ensure Mumbai snapped their losing streak.
