0.0 : Hello and welcome to game 17 of the Indian T20 League and we hope that you are having a relaxed Sunday. As far as the action goes, Mumbai will take on Hyderabad to kick us off. Talking about this game, Mumbai are coming on the back of a great performance as they dismantled Punjab with ease and Hyderabad started off slow but they seem to have found their feet as they have won two games on the trot. Who will come out on top? Mumbai or Hyderabad? Join us as we bring you the toss and all the relevan |
Toss - Up goes the coin and it lands in favour of Mumbai. They will bat first.  |
Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, says that they will bat first as it is their strength. States that the game against Kolkta was their best game so far. Says that they will have to believe and they need to do what they believe in. Adds that this type of ground gives the bowlers an opportunity to showcase their skills. Informs they are playing an unchanged side. |
Hyderabad (Playing XI) - David Warner (C), Jonny Bairstow (WK), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma (IN PLACE OF BHUVNESHWAR KUMAR), Siddarth Kaul (IN PLACE OF KHALEEL AHMED), T Natarajan. |
Mumbai (Unchanged playing XI) - Quinton de Kock (WK), Rohit Sharma (C), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah. |
Pitch report - Simon Doull and Murali Kartik are there for the pitch report. Kartik says that the pitch is a good one to bat on. Doull adds that the dimensions are short. Kartik says that the pitch is so flat and all the batsmen have to do is hit the ball at will. Murali adds that the only thing that the bowlers can do is try and bowl brilliant lines just like Andre Russell did for Kolkata.  |
David Warner, the Hyderabad skipper, says that he would have wanted to bat first well and mentions that just like Rohit said that he is also confident on his bowlers to defend a score. Adds that losing Bhuvneshwar is a big loss for them and that the bowlers have to communicate well and bowl together in partnerships. Adds that there are small boundaries but feels that this gives his bowlers a chance to pinch a couple of wickets. Feels that he has always been confident on Garg and the remaining |

5.5 : Siddarth Kaul to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT! Not the greatest of delivery but as it happened with Rohit's wicket, Hyderabad get a wicket. Kaul is over the moon but he would know this ball deserved to be punished. Suryakumar Yadav would be disappointed with himself as he should have put that away but can only hit it straight to the fielder. Good length ball on the pads, Yadav flicks but finds Natarajan at short fine leg to perfection. He makes no mistake and Hyderabad will be happy wit |

DRINKS! Mumbai looked like they were in a spot of bother as they lost Rohit Sharma right in the first over but they have done well to steer the ship and keep the scoreboard running. Suryakumar was looking in fine touch but he gave his wicket away cheaply. Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan are still out there and they are building a good partnership. Hyderabad, on the other hand, have done well to pick up 2 wickets and will look to continue the same. Kane Williamson is into the attack. |
9.1 : Kane Williamson to Quinton de Kock, EDGY! This was close and Kane starts off well! He dishes a flatter ball outside off, de Kock looks to cut this one but it comes off his bat's inside edge and rolls away to the fine leg region and the batters collect a couple as the fielder cuts this off. |
9.2 : Kane Williamson to Quinton de Kock, Floated on off, de Kock pushes this to the cover region to collect a single run. |
9.3 : Kane Williamson to Ishan Kishan, Loopy ball on middle, Ishan sweeps this one towards the mid-wicket region to exchange ends with de Kock. |

10.5 : Rashid Khan to Quinton de Kock, This is played towards the mid off fielder as the batters cross ends. |
10.6 : Rashid Khan to Ishan Kishan, Another flatter and quicker delivery around middle, Kishan tucks this off the back foot towards deep mid-wicket and will collect another single. Good over for Hyderabad as they concede only 4 runs off it! |
11.1 : Kane Williamson to Ishan Kishan, Catch was the call but it is safe! Loopy ball on off, Kishan sweeps it towards deep mid-wicket and it bounces before the fence. Two taken before the fielder cuts it off. |
11.2 : Kane Williamson to Ishan Kishan, Flatter on middle, Kishan pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single. |
11.3 : Kane Williamson to Quinton de Kock, SIX! Quinton de Kock gets to his fifty in some style! He has had a shaky tournament so far but he is looking at his best in this innings!

11.4 : Kane Williamson to Quinton de Kock, Flatter ball outside off, de Kock pushes it to the off side for a single. |

11.6 : Kane Williamson to Ishan Kishan, Short ball on middle, Kishan pulls it to long on for a single. 17 from the over. |
Siddarth Kaul is back on. 2-0-28-1 are his figures so far. |
12.1 : Siddarth Kaul to Ishan Kishan, NO BALL! Kaul starts off with a good length ball around leg, Ishan does well to flick this off his pads towards the fine leg region and the fielder does well to stop this one. The batters get a single. This is a No Ball as Kaul has overstepped his line. A Free Hit will follow. |
12.2 : Siddarth Kaul to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Cheeky stuff from de Kock and Kaul is getting hammered again! Back of a length delivery around middle and off, de Kock shuffles and scoops this one past the keeper and past the ropes at fine leg for a boundary. |
12.3 : Siddarth Kaul to Quinton de Kock, A good comeback delivery as he bowls this full and around off, de Kock plays this back towards Kaul. |
12.4 : Siddarth Kaul to Quinton de Kock, SIX! Clean strike! No chance for anyone in the deep! Kaul goes for a good length ball around middle, de Kock lofts this over the mid-wicket region and it will cross the fence for a biggie as the fielder jumps trying to stop this one. |
12.1 : Siddarth Kaul to Quinton de Kock, FREE HIT! On a full length around middle, de Kock heaves this towards the deep mid-wicket region and Rashid cuts this one out before the batters complete two runs. |
12.5 : Siddarth Kaul to Quinton de Kock, Short of a good length ball around off, de Kock nudges this gently towards the short third man region and Bairstow runs in and has a shy at the keeper's end but he misses this one. One taken. |
12.6 : Siddarth Kaul to Ishan Kishan, A good end to this over as it is a dot! He bowls a good length ball outside off, Ishan looks to heave this one but he misses it altogether. |
Rashid Khan is back on! 2-0-12-0 are his figures so far. |
13.1 : Rashid Khan to Quinton de Kock, OUT! CAUGHT! And it is Rashid Khan again who makes a difference for Hyderabad! He does everything on this occasion as he had bowled this and also caught this one. He dishes a flatter and quicker ball on middle, de Kock looks to attack Rashid and looks for the big one as he pulls hard at this but it comes off his top edge. It goes high up in the air towards the mid-wicket region and Rashid Khan runs in and settles himself under this one and takes a very |
0.0 : Hardik Pandya is the next man in. |
13.2 : Rashid Khan to Ishan Kishan, SIX! Ishan Kishan is showing some bravery as he has smacked Rashid for a six after Rashid got rid of de Kock. He bowls a loopy ball on middle, Ishan gets on his knees and slog sweeps this over the mid-wicket fence for a huge six! |
13.3 : Rashid Khan to Ishan Kishan, Flatter around off, Kishan works this back towards Rashid. |
13.4 : Rashid Khan to Ishan Kishan, A slower ball wide outside off, Kishan works this down towards the long off region to collect a single. |
13.5 : Rashid Khan to Hardik Pandya, BEATEN! What a delivery! He bowls a loopy ball around off, Pandya looks to defend this one but it spins away whizzing past his outside edge and goes into the mitts of Bairstow. |
13.6 : Rashid Khan to Hardik Pandya, Flighted ball outside off, Hardik works this towards the deep cover region to retain the strike for the next over. A good over for Hyderabad. |
DRINKS! Mumbai, despite losing de Kock, are still in a strong position! They have Kishan going strong and Hardik Pandya has just joined him in the the middle. They still have Kieron Pollard left to come out and they are well on their way to score above 200. Anything below that, they will be slightly disappointed. Hyderabad need to keep taking wickets as that is the only way they can restrict Mumbai. How much will Mumbai end up with? Sandeep Sharma is back on. |
14.1 : Sandeep Sharma to Hardik Pandya, On a good length around off, Hardik works this one down towards the fielder at long on for a single. |
14.2 : Sandeep Sharma to Ishan Kishan, A slowish short of a good length ball around leg, Ishan nudges this towards the mid-wicket region to run across for the single. |
14.3 : Sandeep Sharma to Hardik Pandya, SIX! Hardik Pandya has joined the party now! What a shot! He got a little lucky as Warner dropped this one! He bowls a good length ball around off, Hardik lofts this one over the long on region and Warner spills this one to fetch Mumbai six runs! |
14.4 : Sandeep Sharma to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Another one! Poor fielding this time but Mumbai won't care! Full length ball outside off, Hardik drives this one wide of the cover region and a misfield will fetch Mumbai four runs! |
14.5 : Sandeep Sharma to Hardik Pandya, This length ball is punched down towards long on for a single run. |
14.6 : Sandeep Sharma to Ishan Kishan, OUT! CAUGHT! What a catch this is! Manish Pandey redeems himself with this save! This is bowled short and slow around off, Ishan looks to heave this one over the long on but he does not get the power behind it to clear the fence. Manish Pandey runs in from the right of long on and dives to take a spectacular catch to get rid of Kishan. |
Kieron Pollard makes his way out to the middle. |
15.1 : Rashid Khan to Hardik Pandya, Loopy ball on off, Pandya pushes it to cover. |
15.2 : Rashid Khan to Hardik Pandya, Flatter ball on middle, Pandya plays it back to the bowler. |
15.3 : Rashid Khan to Hardik Pandya, On middle, Pandya works it to deep square leg for a single. |
15.4 : Rashid Khan to Kieron Pollard, Loopy ball on middle, Pollard works it to mid-wicket. |
15.5 : Rashid Khan to Kieron Pollard, WIDE! Down the leg side, Pollard looks to flick but misses. Wide given. |
Rashid Khan to Kieron Pollard, Tossed up on middle, Pollard defends it back to the bowler. |
15.6 : Rashid Khan to Kieron Pollard, Quicker ball on off, Pollard pushes it back to Rashid! |
16.1 : T Natarajan to Hardik Pandya, SIX! Welcome back, Natarajan! Short ball on middle, Pandya hammers it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. |
0.0 : Natarajan is back on for Hyderabad. |
16.2 : T Natarajan to Hardik Pandya, Full ball on off, Pandya drives it to long off for a single. |
16.3 : T Natarajan to Kieron Pollard, Low full toss outside off, Pollard misses out as he drives it to cover and crosses over for a single. |
16.4 : T Natarajan to Hardik Pandya, Very full ball on off, Hardik pushes it to extra cover for only a single. |
16.5 : T Natarajan to Kieron Pollard, Only a single! Very full ball on middle, Pollard flicks it to deep mid-wicket for another run. |
16.6 : T Natarajan to Hardik Pandya, Excellent nut to end! Yorker just outside off, Pandya looks to dig it out but misses. Good comeback from Natarajan after being hit for a six off the first ball. |
17.1 : Sandeep Sharma to Kieron Pollard, SIX! Excellent start to the over for Mumbai! This ball was asking for trouble! Full toss on the pads, Pollard hammers it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
0.0 : Sandeep Sharma will be back into the attack. His figures so far are 3-0-26-2. Can he grab another wicket before his spell ends? |
17.2 : Sandeep Sharma to Kieron Pollard, Very full on middle, All Pollard can do is hit it to long on for a single. Much better from Sandeep Sharma. |
17.3 : Sandeep Sharma to Hardik Pandya, Pandya misses out! Full toss on the pads, Pandya heaves it to deep square leg for a single. |
17.4 : Sandeep Sharma to Kieron Pollard, SIX! Just enough for a maximum! Full toss on the pads, Pollard whips it towards deep square leg. Rashid Khan gets his right hand out to catch but it goes over for a biggie. |
17.5 : Sandeep Sharma to Kieron Pollard, Short ball on middle, Pollard pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single. 15 from the over so far with one ball to go. |
17.6 : Sandeep Sharma to Hardik Pandya, NOT OUT! It is pitching outside leg! Good end to the over from Sharma but Mumbai will be happy with the over as they get 15 runs from it. Very full ball on the pads, Hardik Pandya looks to swing it away but misses and gets hit on the pads. Hyderabad appeal but the umpire is not interested. Warner takes the review. The Ultra Edge shows nothing while the Ball Tracker shows that it is pitching outside leg. |
17.5 : David Warner wants to take this one upstairs as this LBW shout has been denied by the umpire. Replays roll in and the ball has pitched outside leg and so the on-field decision stands. This review has been wasted by Hyderabad. |
18.1 : T Natarajan to Kieron Pollard, SIX! Powered! Another over starts with a maximum! Low full tosses outside off, Pollard lifts it over long off for a biggie. |
18.2 : T Natarajan to Kieron Pollard, Excellent ball! Very full on off, Pollard digs it out to long on for a single. |
18.3 : T Natarajan to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Clever batting from Hardik Pandya! Cannot bowl there with no fielder in the deep! Very full outside off, Pandya slices this over point for a boundary. |
18.4 : T Natarajan to Hardik Pandya, Very full outside off, Pandya drives it to deep cover for a single. |
18.5 : T Natarajan to Kieron Pollard, Another single! Very full on off, Pollard thrashes it but straight to long on. Only a single. |
18.6 : T Natarajan to Hardik Pandya, Beautiful ball to end the over. Natarajan finishes with excellent figures of 4-0-30-0. Very full on middle, Pandya digs it out back to the bowler. |
19.1 : Siddarth Kaul to Kieron Pollard, Kaul does well on the first ball! Very first ball on middle, Pollard heaves it to deep mid-wicket for a single. |
18.6 : Siddarth Kaul will bowl the final over of the innings. His figures so far read 3-0-43-1. Can he end the innings on a high for Hyderabad? |
19.2 : Siddarth Kaul to Hardik Pandya, OUT! TIMBER! Excellent ball from Siddarth Kaul! He was poor in first three overs but he has done his job when his side needed it the most. Hyderabad have been good in the last few overs. Yorker on the pads, Pandya looks to smash it on the leg side but misses and the ball hits the stumps. Can Mumbai breach 200? |
Krunal Pandya will walk out now, replacing his brother Hardik Pandya. |
19.3 : Siddarth Kaul to Krunal Pandya, SIX! That's some shot and that too on the first ball! Slower ball on off, Krunal hammers it over long on for a maximum. |
19.4 : Siddarth Kaul to Krunal Pandya, FOUR! CRUNCHED! 10 off the last 2 balls! Low full toss on middle, Krunal powers it through mid on for a boundary. |
19.5 : Siddarth Kaul to Krunal Pandya, FOUR! Brilliant from Krunal Pandya! Mumbai breach 200! Kaul bowls a low full toss outside off, Pandya thrashes it through extra cover for a boundary. |
19.6 : Siddarth Kaul to Krunal Pandya, SIX! Krunal Pandya, you beauty! 20 off 4 balls! Good length ball on middle, Krunal lifts it over long on for a maximum. MUMBAI FINISH ON 208 FOR 5. |
Mumbai did not start off too well as they lost Rohit Sharma in the first over itself. Suryakumar Yadav started off brilliantly but threw his wicket away just before the end of the Powerplay. Then, it was the de Kock show as he came back to form with a fine 67 before he fell. Kishan did really well again as he scored a quickfire 31. For once, Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard could not find the fence too often and they looked like they will get to around 190 but Krunal Pandya had other ideas a |
Kieron Pollard is in for a chat! He starts off by saying that him and Hardik needed to go out there and up the run rate and hammer the balls. Laughs and says that his fuel is just petrol. Adds that they need to finish the job up by bowling well and executing their plans and that this is a small ground, so they need to get their yorkers right. |
Right then! Hyderabad need 209 to win! They would need David Warner and Jonny Bairstow to give them a good start if they stand a chance to chase this down. Mumbai, on the other hand, need to bowl well as this is a small ground and we have seen a total above 220 being chased down already in this edition. They cannot let their guards down. An exciting run chase coming up. Join us for the chase in a while. |
Krunal Pandya, take a bow! When the final over started, it did not look like, Mumbai will reach 200 but Krunal's blitz has got them to 208 which is a good score despite the small boundaries. Simply sensational from Krunal! Mumbai applaud his efforts and they will be pleased with their efforts. |
Hyderabad's bowling was not bad but they will be disappointed with the performance of Siddarth Kaul. A lot was expected from him but he failed to deliver and conceded 64 runs in his 4 overs. Rashid Khan was excellent yet again as he was economical and did not give many runs. A word for T Natarajan as he was brilliant at the death. Giving just 30 in 4 overs at this ground is exceptional and Natarajan should be proud of his efforts. The fielding was off colour today and they need to bat re |
