Royal Challengers Bengaluru held their nerves to beat Mumbai Indians by 12 runs in their IPL match here on Monday for their first victory at the Wankhede Stadium in 10 years.

Batting first, brisk half-centuries by skipper Rajat Patidar and Virat Kohli powered RCB to 221 for five.

In reply, MI were stopped at 209 for nine after Tilak Varma (56 off 29 balls) and captain Hardik Pandya (42 off 15) threatened to take the game away from RCB with an 89-run stand for the fifth quick.
