| 0.0 : Hello and welcome for match # 54 of IPL 2016 to be played between Gujarat Lions and Mumbai Indians at Kanpur’s Green Park. |
| This is a crucial game for both these two sides, with their chances in the playoffs depending upon the outcome of this match. |
| Gujarat Lions are currently placed second with 16 points, while Mumbai Indians are fifth with 14 points. |

| It’s going to be another nail biting finish match of the day. First 6 overs dominated by Gujrat and Mumbai bounced back for another 9 overs and finally 5 overs went infavour of Gujrat. |
| Mumbai Indians won't be happy with this total. They were 4/145 after 16 and looking set for an imposing total, but could add only 27 runs in last four overs, losing 4 wickets. |
| Gujarat Lions still have to chase down this target, but this is a small ground and even mishits are going for sixes. Advantage Lions I reckon. |
| In the first match 173 were chased because of the extra ordinary innings of Dhoni and Gujrat need the same from one of their party. |
| Do not go away, it's a short break to have another exciting chase. |
| Suresh Raina will be the key for Gujarat Lions. He should be knowing everything about this track like back of his hand having played a lot of cricket for Uttar Pradesh, his domestic cricket. |
|
Stay tuned for Lions' reply. End of over: MUM 172/8 (HH Pandya 7, R Vinay Kumar 1)
