With RCB down to 121/7 at the end of the 17th over, the writing, it felt, was on the wall. Exactly then the death-overs jitters started to show. De Klerk was dropped twice and got a run-out reprieve in the penultimate over sent down by Shabnim Ismail that Prema Rawat closed off the over with a boundary hit to bring it down to manageable 18 off the last-six. Two dots upfront in the 20th again swung the momentum in MI’s favour. But just as time, and deliveries, seemed to be running out, de Klerk flipped the script by taking Sciver-Brunt to the cleaners with 6,4,6,4 to complete the heist in style.
