Defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) jumped to the top of the IPL 2020 points table after they beat Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 5 wickets in the 48th match of the competition at Abu Dhabi.

Set a target of 165 to get from 20 overs, MI got off to a decent start through Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan. However, post the openers' dismissals, it was a special effort from Suryakumar Yadav, who scored a 43-ball 79* laced with 10 fours and three sixes to take his side across the line with five balls to spare.

Though MI lost wickets at consistent intervals, Suryakumar stood tall and essayed a magnificent knock, only a few days after he was overlooked for the T20 squad announced for the tour of Australia.

Earlier, MI skipper Kieron Pollard put RCB in to bat first, after which young Devdutt Padikkal and Joshua Phillipe - who replaced Aaron Finch in the RCB XI - got their side off to a positive beginning.

At 131-2 in the 16th over with AB de Villiers partnering a well-set Padikkal at the crease, it seemed like RCB were cruising and a total of 180-190 was on the cards. However, De Villiers' wicket turned things around and the rest of the batsmen failed to come to the party.

Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers for MI and even registered a double-wicket maiden in the 17th over, finishing with figures of 4-1-14-3 which dented RCB's effort with the bat.

Padikkal's 45-ball 74 and Philippe's 24-ball 33 were the only positives for RCB with the bat as they fell 10-15 runs short of a challenging target. In the end, Suryakumar's fine knock overshadowed Padikkal's effort and MI picked up an important win to move to pole position on the IPL 2020 points table.
