We are all set to begin! Umpires make their way out to the middle and Hyderabad players take the field. Out come the Mumbai openers, Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will open the bowling for Hyderabad. Here we go...
0.1 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! SHOT! What a way to get things going! Lovely on drive from de Kock. Good length and around middle, de Kock punches the drive through mid on to open his account with a boundary.

0.3 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Quinton de Kock, Good length and around middle, this one is tucked to mid-wicket.
0.4 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Quinton de Kock, Was there some bat? No maybe pad. Bhuvneshwar misses the line and bowls it down the leg side. De Kock misses the flick. The keeper, Bairstow dives to his right and catches. Not called wide. So, maybe it kissed the pad.

This time Bairstow collects it easily and puts in a big appeal. Not out says the umpire. Warner thinks of a review but doesn't go for it. Replays later show it to be a good call as Ultra Edge detected a flat line.

1.6 : Khaleel Ahmed to Quinton de Kock, Dot to end the over! A good one, in the end, despite the no ball. Shortish and just outside off, de Kock punches it to short cover for nothing.

8.3 : Vijay Shankar to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Oh, what a comeback! Shankar has another one. It is the slower one again. This one is around off and middle, Yadav looks to push it on the leg side but the ball stops on him. He ends up tamely poking it to the right side of the bowler. Shankar is alert to pouch the chance. He has got two wickets in his 9 balls.
Ishan Kishan joins Quinton de Kock in the middle.
Strategic Time-Out! Hyderabad on top here! Things were looking good for Mumbai but they lost Suryakumar Yadav in the last over before time-out. Mumbai started cautiously and had a 50-run partnership between Rohit Sharma and de Kock. They were looking set for a big score but wickets of Sharma and Yadav will put them on the back foot.

12.1 : Vijay Shankar to Quinton de Kock, Dropped! That almost stuck in Rashid Khan's palms at deep square leg! Length ball, outside off.

Strategic Time-Out! 5 overs left in the innings. Can Pollard and co. get a move on in these 5 overs and take Mumbai to a big score? Hyderbad bowlers have been superb and hitting them for the big shots it not going to be easy. Interesting last 5 overs coming your way.

19.6 : A couple of biggies on the last two balls means Mumbai will be not too disappointed with the score on the board. They have defended a similar score in the past and would feel they can do it here again. But top bowling performance from Hyderabad.
After deciding to bat first, Mumbai got off to a very good start as skipper Rohit and de Kock added 50-plus. Rohit fell in search of quick runs! Suryakumar Yadav couldn't do much as he fell cheaply too. De Kock played a 40-run innings but took 39 balls to reach there and got out at the wrong time. Kishan too failed to get going. Hardik, Pollard and Krunal struggled in the death overs but Pollard managed to find the fence on the last two balls of the innings to take Mumbai to 150.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Kieron Pollard, SIX! Two in two and Mumbai get to 150! Length ball, in the slot. Pollard creams it deep over the mid-wicket fence. 17 from the over. MUMBAI FINISH ON 150 FOR 5.
Bowling from Hyderbad has been top-notch in this game. Shankar was the man who provided the breakthrough after a solid Mumbai start. And after that, Hyderabad bowlers never allowed Mumbai to break free. The two Afghans, Rashid and Mujeeb did a fine job. While Rashid didn't get a wicket, Mujeeb got two big wickets in de Kock and Kishan and punctured the Mumbai batting. Khaleel was excellent in his comeback. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was hit for a few in his 4 overs and the last 2 balls that went for sixe
So, chasing hasn't been easy on this wicket. Mumbai defended a similar score in their last game against Kolkata and would believe that they can do so again. But Hyderabad have fire in their batting too. With Bairstow set to open along with the skipper, it is going to be an interesting chase. Join us for the same shortly.
0.6 : Who will partner Boult from the other end? Here's Jasprit Bumrah with the ball.
1.1 : Has Bumrah struck on the first ball? The umpire doesn't think so but Mumbai are confident. They have gone for the review. Let's see the replay. Looks like there is no bat. Yes. Ultra Edge confirms the same. Mumbai lose the review very early in the game.
Debutant Adam Milne to bowl now.
3.6 : Adam Milne to Jonny Bairstow, Short ball, on his body. Jonny Bairstow pulls it wide of deep square leg but Krunal Pandya does well to stop it. Warner wanted the single but was sent back by his partner.

4.2 : Krunal Pandya to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! BANG! Bairstow goes big again! He moves to 39 off just 14 balls. Krunal tosses this up and around middle and leg, Bairstow moves a touch on the leg side and hits it way into the stands at long on. Big blow.

Bairstow misses it and de Kock dives to his left and takes a stunner. Bumrah and de Kock think they have got him and decide to review. The replays roll in, at first it looks like it has only hit the back pad. Ultra Edge confirms the same and the umpire now checks for LBW, it is going over the stumps. Mumbai lo

19.4 : Earlier in the game, after getting a bright start from Rohit and de Kock, Mumbai struggled in the middle overs. Hyderabad after getting the first wicket pulled things back nicely. Shankar was the man who got two to push Mumbai on the back foot. Mujeeb too bagged 2 and along with Rashid kept the scoring rate under check. Khaleel too was excellent in his 4 overs. In the final 2 balls of the last over of the innings, Pollard banged 2 sixes and took Mumbai to 150. A total that turned out to be a bit
Trent Boult to Khaleel Ahmed, OUT! BOWLED! There it is! Mumbai have done it again! A fast yorker on the stumps, the tail-ender batsman fails to get any bat on it. Khaleel Ahmed has his furniture shattered by Trent Boult. MUMBAI WIN BY 13 RUNS!!
David Warner, the Hyderabad captain, says that it is disappointing to lose like this. About his wicket, says that it was a brilliant piece of fielding. Adds that the score was chaseable but they needed someone to bat through the innings. Further adds that the wicket was a touch slower and that their bowlers did well but the batters let them down. Informs that they will have to talk to the physios regarding Kane Williamson's fitness.
A roaring comeback from Mumbai once again to seal the deal. They just are so good in conditions like these. Once they got the opening, they never allowed Hyderabad to get back in the game. Just superb bowling performance from them. Take a bow, Mumbai!
Chasing the total, Hyderabad were off to a flier. It was Bairstow who opened for the side and tonked everyone who came in his way. He though got hit wicket trying to play a slog sweep. And after that, Hyderabad lost the way. They just kept losing wickets at regular intervals and could never make a comeback. Warner's run out sealed their fate. Shankar tried but couldn't do it against the quality Mumbai bowling.
It was another strong bowling show from Mumbai. The wicket sure was tough to bat on. But Mumbai looked in all sorts of trouble when Bairstow was taking them apart. However, once they got the breakthrough, they did what they do best. They choked the opposition in the chase. Chahar once again showed his class and picked up three wickets. Pandya's brilliance in the field saw Warner head back to the pavilion. In the last 4 overs, Bumrah and Boult were just too good for the opposition.
Hardik is caught for a chat. On his brilliant run outs, Hardik says that he just makes sure that the ball is in his hands and then the next target is the stumps. On Warner's wicket, Hardik says that he didn't expect him to be that far. Says that they have a lot of character in the team. Feels Hyderabad were off to a fine start but the bowlers pulled back things nicely. Tells that they bowled as a unit. Ends by saying that they have a lot of experience in the team.
Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, says that it was a great effort from the bowlers and they executed the plans well. Adds that they thought it was a good score that they put on. Further adds that they can bat better in the middle overs. Tells that the pitch got slower and slower which makes it difficult to chase. Feels that even against seamers, it is not difficult to score boundaries straightaway. Says that one batsman needs to bat throughout the innings and finish well. Tells that Pollard has
Right! That caps off another game in the Indian T20 League 2021. Once again Hyderabad have lost the game after being ahead. Once again Mumbai have managed to hold their nerves and seal the deal in a close game. Now, the season moves towards the first double-header day. Yes. On Sunday, 18th April 2021, Bangalore will take on Kolkata in the first game. That game will begin at 1530 local (1000 GMT). In the second game, Pant's Delhi will take on Rahul's Punjab. The action for that match will start a
Kieron Pollard, the MAN OF THE MATCH, says it depends on the situation as to who goes out to bat in the middle. Adds that the batsman has to decide their strong areas and see what the bowler is trying to do. About his bowling, Pollard says that he wants to bowl more overs when it's coming out well. Praises both Bumrah and Boult for the way they bowled towards the end and defended the score.
