MI vs RCB close contests:
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.
April 4, 2013: RCB won by 2 runs: Chris Gayle’s 92 off 58 balls helped RCB post 156 runs but despite Dinesh Karthik’s 37-ball 60, they fell 2 runs short.

After posting a 165/7 in 20 overs with the help of Shikhar Dhawan’s 41 and Saurabh Tiwary’s 38, RCB were cruising with Rahul Dravid making 71 off 58 and Virat Kohli’s 47 off 24. But in the end, they fell short by just 2 runs.
