| 1.5 : 1.5: Trent Boult to KL Rahul, FOUR! Brilliant! These are the kind of shots that KL Rahul plays. On a length, slanting away, around off, KL Rahul leans into the shot and creams it through covers. Not a single soul moves. Boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Krunal Pandya to Mandeep Singh, FOUR! An easy boundary for Singh. 9 off this over for Punjab. A juicy full toss, outside off, Mandeep Singh just smacks this one through extra covers. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Jasprit Bumrah to KL Rahul, FOUR! SHOT! KL Rahul just needs to find the gap, because timing is something that he was born with! Fuller in length, around off, KL Rahul punches this one with finesse and times this through extra cover. Boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Mandeep Singh, EDGY FOUR! Luck with Mandeep Singh on this occasion. Another bumper, around middle, Mandeep Singh looks to pull but only top-edges this one over the keeper for a one-bounce boundary. 11 of Bumrah's first over, not something you see everyday! |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Krunal Pandya to Mandeep Singh, OUT! LBW! There is the breakthrough Mumbai were looking for and it is Krunal Pandya, who claims the first wicket. Pandya angles another full ball, around middle and off. Mandeep Singh steps across and looks to paddle sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. Pandya appeals for the LBW. The umpire takes his time, before raising his dreaded finger. Singh though has a chat with his skipper but he continues his walk back to the hut. |
| 6.2: Kieron Pollard to Chris Gayle, OUT! TAKEN! No Gayle force today as the big West Indian is back in the hut for another cheap score. Pollard hurls a length ball, around off, seems it was a slower ball. Chris Gayle looks to heave but does not power it much. Hits it high and towards long on where Hardik Pandya takes a simple catch. Punjab in a spot of bother early on. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Kieron Pollard to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT! Pollard strikes again and Punjab are in a big problem. Short of a length, on middle, again, it is the slower one from Pollard. KL Rahul is hurried to his pull shot. He gets some gloves and pulls it straight to short fine leg where Jasprit Bumrah takes a simple catch. 300 wickets in T20Is for the big man as he signals the figures to the dugout. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Kieron Pollard to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Welcome boundary! A full ball, on middle. Aiden Markram whips through the square leg region for a boundary. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! LBW! Punjab are 4 down now and Mumbai are playing like defending champions again. A low full toss, angling on the pads. Pooran stays back and looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. The only question was the impact as the umpire takes some time, before raising his finger. Pooran takes the review. UltraEdge shows no bat. Ball Tracker shows three reds and another one walks back to the shed as Punjab lose their review too. |

| 10.4 : 10.4: Trent Boult to Deepak Hooda, SIX! SHOT! That was hit very well from Deepak! He picked it so early and dispatched this! Around off again, a touch short, Deepak Hooda powers this one over deep mid-wicket. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Trent Boult to Aiden Markram, FOUR! SLAP! Aiden Markram is playing very well here. Slower in pace, 115 clicks, on a length around off, Aiden Markram cracks this one through extra cover. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Trent Boult to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Another one! 50-run stand comes up between these two as well! Short of a length, outside off, Aiden Markram goes back and punches this one past the point fielder for a boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Trent Boult to Deepak Hooda, FOUR! The third one of this over! Punjab have decided to quick their scoring pace! Short, around off, Deepak Hooda makes room and crunches this one over point. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Rahul Chahar to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Boundaries flowing nicely for Punjab now! Chahar spills it down the leg side. Aiden Markram pulls it through fine leg for a boundary. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Rahul Chahar to Aiden Markram, OUT! TIMBER! The partnership is broken and Mumbai are back on the front foot. Chahar gives flight to this one, full and around off. Markram goes for the paddle sweep across the line but fails to get any bat on it. The ball sneaks through and rattles the stumps. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Deepak Hooda, OUT! TAKEN! The set batsman goes and Jasprit Bumrah gets another wicket to his name. A full ball, on off. Deepak Hooda looks to go downtown but does it off the toe end of his bat. The ball goes high up in the air and towards long off where Kieron Pollard takes a very good catch. He ain't dropping those catches. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Mohammed Shami to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! First boundary of the chase! A full ball, outside off. Rohit Sharma drives it through point for a boundary. |
| 3.3: Ravi Bishnoi to Rohit Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! An important breakthrough for Punjab! Bishnoi hurls in and serves a full ball, outside off, it was a googly.

| 3.4 : 3.4: Ravi Bishnoi to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! TIMBER! A beauty of a delivery! Suryakumar Yadav goes for a golden duck! A flatter ball, it lands outside off and spins back in. Suryakumar Yadav plays away from the body as he looks to push. The ball sneaks through the vacant gate and disturbs the wood behind. Ravi Bishnoi is on a Hat-Trick. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Aiden Markram to Saurabh Tiwary, FOUR! Well played! A flatter ball, on middle. Saurabh Tiwary makes room and then slaps it through point for a boundary. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Nathan Ellis to Saurabh Tiwary, FOUR! Good shot! Around his body, on a length, nicely clipped away to the fine leg fence. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Ravi Bishnoi to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Valiant effort but Quinton de Kock gets the boundary in the end. Flighted ball, outside off and de Kock lifts it high and wide of long off. The fielder runs from long on and puts in the desperate dive for the catch but can't get to it. The ball trickles into the fence. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Harpreet Brar to Saurabh Tiwary, SIX! Tiwary goes high and handsome! Tossed up delivery, Saurabh Tiwary steps out of the crease and gets to the pitch of the ball before smashing it way over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Mohammed Shami to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! The pressure is released yet again with the boundary. Short of a length and de Kock gets on top of the bounce and pulls it to wide long on for a boundary. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Mohammed Shami to Quinton de Kock, OUT! BOWLED! Mohammed Shami has the last laugh! The bowling change works and the dangerman Quinton de Kock is a goner. Shami hits the length hard and bowls it around the off stump, angling across the left-hander. De Kock goes for the pull again but it's not that short. De Kock ends up getting an inside edge and the ball goes on to hit the off stump. Could this be another turning point in this match? |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Ravi Bishnoi to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Googly straightaway on middle. Hardik Pandya gets some bat on it as he looks to defend. The ball races away past short fine leg for a boundary. |

| 15.1 : 15.1: Nathan Ellis to Saurabh Tiwary, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! It has carried! Nathan Ellis comes in and provides the big breakthrough. What a bowling change from KL Rahul! The third umpire has a check and is happy with the catch. A slower delivery, well outside off. Saurabh Tiwary goes after it and pays the price. Tiwary looks to cut it away but gets a thick outside edge. KL Rahul springs to his left and takes the catch in front of him. Can this be the turning point? |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Mohammed Shami to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Well, the previous delivery might have hurt Pandya but he has now hurt Punjab. Marginally short and pulled away with authority into the square leg fence. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Mohammed Shami to Hardik Pandya, SIX! What a shot from Hardik Pandya! That body blow has fired him up. Length ball, on middle. Pandya stands tall and whips this one over the deep square leg fence for a maximum. |

| 17.5 : 17.5: Arshdeep Singh to Kieron Pollard, SIX! BANG! It was building up to be such a good over for Punjab and then Pollard has ruined it.

| 18.3 : 18.3: Mohammed Shami to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! It was always a risky tactic with no third man. Back of a length and around off. This time Pandya waits for it and cuts it over backward point for a boundary. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Mohammed Shami to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Up and over! Length again, on off and Pandya goes on the back foot. He manages to clear Chris Gayle at mid on and splits the gap at long on and deep mid-wicket. Mumbai have the finishing line in sight now as they need just 5 more! |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Mohammed Shami to Hardik Pandya, SIX! DROPPED! It's all over now! On a length and Hardik Pandya rocks back to pull it. He flat-bats it towards long on where the fielder, Deepak Hooda spills the catch and the ball goes over the ropes. MUMBAI WIN BY 6 WICKETS! |
