Ruturaj Gaikwad looks to run it through the leg side but closes the face of his bat a touch early. The ball takes the leading edge and goes straight to Hardik Pandya at point. He is not going to drop those. Early success for Mumbai and Chennai's in-form opener has been sent packing. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: Dhawal Kulkarni to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Nicely done! Lands on off, on a length and nips back in. Faf du Plessis clips it down to the fine leg fence. There is a fielder in the deep but he has no chance. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Dhawal Kulkarni to Faf du Plessis, SIX! Ruturaj Gaikwad may be gone but Faf du Plessis is making his presence felt! He comes down the track and smokes this over the long off fence. The ball was in the slot and he played this to perfection. |

| 11.5 : 11.5: Kieron Pollard to Faf du Plessis, OUT! TAKEN! Faf du Plessis has been removed now. It is Pollard who has provided them the big wicket. A lovely slower one from him. It is outside off, Faf moves inside the crease and looks to scoop. He though ends up miscuing it high in the air towards short fine leg. De Kock and Bumrah both try to catch but Bumrah manages to hold on. Could've been a collision there but Bumrah managed to hold on. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Kieron Pollard to Suresh Raina, OUT! TAKEN! Another one for Pollard. He is turning it on for Mumbai here. Raina has been sent packing for just 2. What an over. Fuller ball around middle, Raina looks to power it over the deep mid-wicket fence but he fails to time it as well as he would've liked. Ends up hitting it high in the air and straight to Krunal at deep mid-wicket. Brilliant over from Pollard and a superb decision from Rohit to give the ball to him. |

| 19.6 : 19.6: Dhawal Kulkarni to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! Dropped and four! That sums up Mumbai's effort in the last few overs! Short and wide outside off.
