- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.4 knuckleball, knuckleball and them seam-up. is there some bat on it? Yes! Two in two and Tye is on fire. Surya his hustled for pace as this skids on, he looks to play the short-arm jab to square leg but ends up getting a thick bottom edge edge that lobs off the thigh pad and is taken by the keeper. 59/33.1 right through Lewis! The purplecap holder strikes gold! This is a knuckleball that comes back in to beat the inside edge and flatten off stump. 37/15.3 cross-batted heave but he can only hit it as far as mid-on. No timing, no power, dragged it from outside off. Clever from Tye, it's that knuckleball again. 59/28.2 mistimes his pull and is gone as Yuvraj takes a dolly at the edge of the ring at mid-on! Huge moment in the match. This was short, Rohit cramped for room as he looks to take him on and hit in front of square, got it high on the bat. 71/414.2 too short, sticking into the surface because this is an offcutter, Krunal into the pull early and he toe-ends this straight to short fine leg. 136/515.3 backs away and clobbers this straight to long-off. Ashwin bowled this just slightly wide outside off as he saw Pollard backing away, he went through with the stroke but didn't hit this off the middle and Finch takes an excellent catch moving to his left at long-off. 152/618.2 the knuckleball on length, Pandya looks to cut but can only get a thick outside edge that lobs straight to Ashwin at short third man. 170/817.4 dags the slog sweep from outside off, picks out Axar at deep midwicket. As easy as they come. Cutting was hitting this against the turn as well. 160/7Extras11 (lb 5, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL186/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Did not bat: JJ BumrahFall of wickets: 1-37 (Evin Lewis, 3.1 ov), 2-59 (Ishan Kishan, 5.3 ov), 3-59 (Suryakumar Yadav, 5.4 ov), 4-71 (Rohit Sharma, 8.2 ov), 5-136 (Krunal Pandya, 14.2 ov), 6-152 (Kieron Pollard, 15.3 ov), 7-160 (Ben Cutting, 17.4 ov), 8-170 (Hardik Pandya, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR18.3 he's got him! There is one hero in the Mumbai Indians team too! 2 for 12 in his fourth over before this ball. Jasprit Bumrah's slower ball has deceived Rahul again. It's in the slot - overpitched outside off - and Rahul is looking to deposit this over long-off. It's off the toe-end and is taken well inside the boundary. It's a sensational, if not legendary innings, from this man. But he's fallen with 10 balls to go. 167/43.5 got him! The bouncer and the catch in the deep on the leg side - just like in the last game. Rohit points his finger and sprints at Ben Cutting, the fielder who went to his right at deep square to take this miscued hook. Mitch Mac is known for this specific wicket-taking ball. It's climbing, Gayle is swatting. Gayle is gone. Wankhede has burst into celebration 34/116.1 good catch from Hardik Pandya. This ball has gone at least five stories up from what I can see. He has to run in from deep midwicket with half an eye on Evin Lewis who is coming in from deep square. For most of his journey, that ball is possibly just a dot in the sky. For some of it, it's swerving. And by the end, it's coming down hard. He is fully composed through it all and completes it. Good job. Finch was looking to bludgeon this length ball over deep square leg 145/216.5 appeal immediately, given immediately! Bumrah has turned it on! Stoinis has no answer to this mean bouncer headed for his face. Not even close to playing a hook. It's flicked the glove before half his swing is in. He's out before he can put in a semblance of a follow through. What. An. Over. 149/319.3 holes out to sweeper cover! It's the third length ball in a row from Mitch, and this time he even gets rewarded for it. Yuvraj uses the angle and tries to go off side - ends up slicing it straight to deep extra cover 172/5Extras9 (b 2, lb 2, w 5)TOTAL183/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.15)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Chris Gayle, 3.5 ov), 2-145 (Aaron Finch, 16.1 ov), 3-149 (Marcus Stoinis, 16.5 ov), 4-167 (KL Rahul, 18.3 ov), 5-172 (Yuvraj Singh, 19.3 ov)
