"The scores that we put on the board are probably going to be the only way we are going to get into the competition."

Fifties from du Plessis, Patidar and Karthik took RCB to 196, but MI topped that in just 15.3 overs

"I felt we were 15 or 20 runs short on a pitch that wasn't as bad as we played in the first ten overs"

Also on the list: Pooran's and Klaasen's American fireworks
