| 0.3 : 0.3: T Boult to S Yadav, FOUR! Yadav is in a pretty good run of form with the bat and that shows. Boult is in search of some swing and hence is pitching it up. There is minimal movement inwards. Suryakumar covers it well and drives it down the ground. Beats a diving Gambhir at mid off to his right this time and collects a boundary. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: T Boult to E Lewis, FOUR! Intentions crystal clear! Boult lands this one on a length, Lewis hangs on the back foot and plays the pick up shot over square leg for a boundary. What a way to get going. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: S Nadeem to S Yadav, FOUR! Oh dear, the wheels coming off early for Delhi. Flatter on the stumps, Yadav goes back and works it away towards mid on. Maxwell moves to his right but dives over the ball and lets it go to the boundary. |
| 2.1: T Boult to S Yadav, FOUR! Terrific straight drive! Full on the stumps, Yadav just times his push down the ground. The timing and the contact is such that the mid on and mid off fielders had no chance. Not your day Trent, says Pietersen on air. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: T Boult to S Yadav, FOUR! Cheeky and clever! Yadav arches back to this short delivery and ramps it over the keeper. The third man fielder got to his left but couldn't get to the ball before it crossed the fence. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: T Boult to E Lewis, SIX! Effortless, brilliant and maximum! Full length ball around off and middle, Lewis clears his front leg and mows it over long on for half a dozen, the first of this game. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: S Nadeem to S Yadav, FOUR! Just short, maybe! Fired on a shorter length around off, Yadav goes back and punches it uppishly back towards the bowler. Nadeem is a bit late in getting down to his left and the ball passes from below his hand. Such was the power in that shot that the ball sped away to the fence. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: S Nadeem to E Lewis, SIX! Tripe! This is Mumbai's fastest fifty in the Indian T20 League and what a gift this delivery was. Nadeem darts it on a shorter length seeing Lewis' front foot come forward. But the southpaw goes back in a trice and pulls it over the square leg fence for another biggie. Such deliveries are all he requires to get back among the runs. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: M Shami to S Yadav, SIX! Welcome to Wankhede says Suryakumar with a biggie! Length ball angling in, Yadav gets inside the line and flicks it over deep backward square leg for a maximum. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: M Shami to S Yadav, FOUR! Oh... When a perfect yorker goes to the boundary, you will be forced to think if it is YOUR day indeed. This is a perfect yorker on off. Suryakumar gets really low and squeezes it out. Does so very fine and the ball goes to the third man boundary. Shami can just stand with his hands on his hips. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: M Shami to S Yadav, FOUR! Six to start the over, four to end it. 14 runs have come off this one. This is a low full toss on middle and leg. Yadav whips it away through mid-wicket for another boundary. Mumbai are on a roll here. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: D Christian to E Lewis, FOUR! Stand and deliver! Christian runs in from round the wicket and bowls it full at a gentle pace. Lewis just smashes it through the gap between mid off and covers for a boundary. That is a throwdown, says Nasser Hussain on air. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: D Christian to E Lewis, FOUR! Top draw from Evin Lewis. This is overpitched from Dan. Lewis just delays his muscled square drive. Waits a second extra and opens the bat face to get this through point. Two boundaries to welcome Christian. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: D Christian to E Lewis, FOUR! Another one! This is seeming to be too easy for Mumbai. Now they go past Chennai's best score in the Powerplay in this edition - 75! Full again, outside off again. Lewis drives it through covers for another boundary. 12 off the first four balls. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: D Christian to E Lewis, SIX! Ho, ho, ho! I'm running short of adjectives now, not even 6 complete overs into the game. This delivery is blasted over the long on region for another maximum. It was the slower ball and Lewis picked it pretty early. 84/0 in the Powerplay for Mumbai, truly bossing the game here. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: R Tewatia to E Lewis, SIX! Highhh and jussst long enough! Seeing the flight on this delivery, Lewis slinks down the track to go big. Ends up slicing it in the air down the ground, as it was a googly. Roy gets there from long off but the ball just makes it over the fence. Brings up the 100 for Mumbai. |
| 8.6 : 8.6: R Tewatia to E Lewis, OUT! A cat has seven lives, this pair had some moments going its way and the association has finally come to an end. Rahul Tewatia strikes, finally! This is another wrong 'un on middle. Lewis comes down the track to smash it out of the ground, yet again. Slices it high in the air again. This time the ball travels only as far as Jason Roy at long off. He takes it safely to end the 102-run opening stand. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: R Tewatia to S Yadav, OUT! Wicket lost, review stays! Yadav has to walk back after a good knock. This is a tossed up delivery on the stumps, Suryakumar looks to play the sweep but misses. Seems to be right in front of the stumps and hence the umpire raises the finger after the appeal. The batter has a chat with his partner and decides to have a re-look. There is nothing on Snicko to suggest the presence of bat. Hawk Eye shows that it would have just clipped the leg stick. Thus, the on-fiel |
| 11.2: G Maxwell to R Sharma, FOUR! Rohit Sharma makes the bowler look rubbish with his fine touch, says Kevin Pietersen on air. This is flatter outside off by Maxwell. Rohit hangs back and deftly guides it just past the keeper for a boundary. Cleverly done. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: G Maxwell to I Kishan, FOUR! Misdirected delivery, price paid! Fired down the leg side, Kishan just helps it away fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: R Tewatia to I Kishan, FOUR! Half-tracker! There is no place for that in this format. Ishan Kishan had ample time to go back and pull it away in front of square on the leg side for a boundary. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: R Tewatia to I Kishan, SIX! Power and confidence inspired shot! Tossed up ball on the stumps, Kishan switches stance in a trice and takes it on the full. Makes nice contact on the switch hit as the ball sails over the deep backward point fence. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: R Tewatia to I Kishan, SIX! Not a right end to the spell for Tewatia! Kishan is all over him in the last three balls, taking 16 off them. Gets down the track to his one and smashes it high and long over long on for another biggie. 19 off this over, spoils Rahul's figures. |
| 13.6: D Christian to R Sharma, FOUR! Not the ideal length to bowl at Christian's pace. Bangs it short on the stumps, Rohit gets inside the line and pulls it past short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: M Shami to I Kishan, FOUR! Clever! Ishan Kishan is doing it easily here. Lets the length ball and a good pace come to him before opening the bat face. Beats the keeper as well as short third man and gets a boundary. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: M Shami to I Kishan, FOUR! The adjective clever applies to the bowler this time. Shami bangs it short on the body. Kishan is cramped for room as he looks to pull. Seems to have gone off the helmet. The ball goes over the keeper and goes to the fence behind. Given as runs though. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: D Christian to I Kishan, FOUR! No stopping Ishan! Full and outside off, he smashes it over the leaping cover fielder for a boundary. Ominous signs these for the touring side. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: D Christian to I Kishan, OUT! Castled! Magnificent when they come off, absolute rubbish when they don't - the innovative shots. Ishan Kishan looks to play the switch hit but misses. It is a high full toss from round the wicket. The ball doesn't make contact with anything apart from the leg stump. End of an enterprising innings from Kishan. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: D Christian to K Pollard, OUT! Another one gone! Timber! Two-in-two for Dan Christian. Christian lands it on a length from over the wicket. Pollard walks down and across to flick it away but misses it altogether. The ball goes on to hit the stumps after brushing his trouser and Dan leaps in joy. Delhi striking quickly towards the end now. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: M Shami to K Pandya, FOUR! Krunal joins the party now. Gets a full delivery in his zone. He blasts it over mid off for a boundary. Agony on Gambhir's face. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: T Boult to R Sharma, OUT! Change in pace does it for Boult. Angles it away on a fuller length. Rohit looks to go downtown but ends up skying it high towards wide long off. Roy gets to his left and settles under it to take it safely. Mumbai's chances to finish on a high are getting hampered now. |
| 18.3: M Shami to K Pandya, OUT! Krunal Pandya has to walk back. Clever stuff from Shami. Lets out a slower one on a length. Krunal walks across and looks to paddle it over short fine leg. It goes off something to Tewatia at that position who catches and puts in an unsure appeal. The umpire doesn't seem to have nodded as the batters continue running. Suddenly, the third umpire is signaled to. Then it becomes clear that Delhi have reviewed. On replays, it is seen that the inside edge is skimmed an |
| 19.1 : 19.1: T Boult to H Pandya, OUT! Mumbai are falling down like sixpence here. Now, their quest to reach 200 seems even further. This is a full delivery from Boult on middle and leg. Hardik Pandya flicks it straight to Shreyas Iyer at deep mid-wicket, who takes it crouching low. The pace was taken off this one and hence, Hardik couldn't quite get the power. Rohit Sharma isn't happy and is seen shaking his head in the dug out. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: H Pandya to J Roy, FOUR! Slapped away! Pandya lands it on a length outside off, Roy stands back and packs a punch through covers for a cracking boundary. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: H Pandya to G Gambhir, FOUR! Pandya errs in line and pays the price. Lands it on a length on the pads, Gambhir just tucks it away through backward square leg. Hardik is fuming as a good over gets spoiled. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: A Dananjaya to J Roy, SIX! BAZOOKAA! Jason Roy doesn't need sighters. He welcomes Dananjaya to the Indian T20 League with a biggie. Tossed up off spinner around off, Roy blasts this over deep mid-wicket after shimmying down a bit. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: A Dananjaya to J Roy, FOUR! Roy doesn't let bad balls go unpunished. Dananjaya fires this one on a shorter length on the stumps. Roy clears his front leg and smites it past wide long on for a boundary. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: H Pandya to G Gambhir, FOUR! This should ease Gambhir's nerves. Short in length, he stays on the back foot and pulls it towards deep backward square leg. Seems to have gone the distance. The umpire wishes to have another look and then sees that it has just bounced inside. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: H Pandya to J Roy, SIX! Up, high and above! Full length ball on the stumps, Roy smacks it over long on for a biggie. It was the knuckle ball but didn't have any bearing on the batter's mind. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: H Pandya to J Roy, SIX! This one is even bigger and even longer, shouts Murali Kartik on air. Short length delivery outside off, Roy hangs back and smites the pull out of Wankhede over deep square leg. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: H Pandya to J Roy, FOUR! Jason Roy is on fire! No wonder why Ricky Ponting and Delhi decided to bring him in after two games. Gets a delivery on a length around off, he makes room and smites it over where it came from. Gets a boundary straight down the ground to bring up the 50 for Delhi. 21 off the over already. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: M Rahman to G Gambhir, OUT! Try hard till you succeed, they say. Gautam Gambhir did just that. He was finding a way to get dismissed and walks out throwing his wicket away. Mumbai get the breakthrough they needed to sap the momentum, even though not the man they would have wanted. Rahman lands it on a shorter length, Gambhir looks to pull it away. Gets a top edge and the ball has only height and not the distance. It goes up to eternity and comes down in Rohit Sharma's hands at mid-wicket. 1 |
| 6.4 : 6.4: M Markande to R Pant, FOUR! Tripe! Short length ball spinning away from the southpaw. Pant stays deep in the crease and slaps it through cover-point for a boundary. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: M Markande to R Pant, FOUR! Another short delivery, punished again! Markande darts this on a shorter length on the stumps. Rishabh goes back and pulls it through square leg for another boundary. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: M Markande to R Pant, FOUR! Audacious! Floated outside off, Pant reverse sweeps it through point for a boundary. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: M Markande to J Roy, SIX! With the turn and massive! Roy hits this one over long off for half a dozen. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: M Markande to R Pant, FOUR! Pant is having some fun here. Shorter delivery from Mayank, Pant hangs back and pulls it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: A Dananjaya to R Pant, SIX! Superb shot! Looped up ball around middle, Pant uses his feet to get to the pitch of the ball. Gets there and smites it straight over the bowler's head for a biggie. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: A Dananjaya to R Pant, FOUR! This is clever. Expects a quicker full ball from the spinner. Gets it and sweeps it fine down the leg side for a boundary. 10 off the first two balls of the over. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: A Dananjaya to R Pant, SIX! This looks like some highlight package, exclaims my mate here! Pant wears his dancing shoes and gets down the track in a flash. Post that, he dismisses the ball from his presence by hitting it straight out of the ground. Brings up the 50-run stand between the duo, along with the team 100. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: J Bumrah to J Roy, FOUR! Just over! Full ball outside off, Roy clears his front leg and hits it over mid off. Pollard there, leaps high but can't do much. Is on the floor as he seems to have hurt when he landed. The ball goes to the fence. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: K Pandya to R Pant, FOUR! What a welcome for Krunal. He delivers this slower through the air. Pant gets low and hits it straight over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: K Pandya to R Pant, OUT! KPs get the better of RP, exclaims a die-hard Mumbai supporter here! Pant is out of here, three short of a well-deserved 50. Krunal Pandya fires this full on off, Pant gets down on a knee to smite it over long off. Doesn't get the elevation and ends up hitting it flat down the ground. Kieron Pollard runs to his left from that position and takes a flying catch to end the diminutive wicketkeeper's stay in the middle. Krunal is pumped up and why not! He's broken a dan |
| 12.5: M Markande to G Maxwell, FOUR! Maxwell is here, guys! He clears his front leg and goes big downtown. Makes good contact and takes a one-bounce boundary. Long on had no chance to get close to that. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: M Markande to G Maxwell, SIX! Massive! Maxwell has decided to go big straightaway. He gets down to this loopy ball and slog sweeps it over deep square leg for a massive one. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: K Pandya to G Maxwell, OUT! Hardik Pandya, you beauty! What a screamer that is. He has just made the Wankhede crowd go bonkers with that catch. The Pandya brothers combine to send Glenn Maxwell packing. Krunal serves it outside off, slower through the air. Maxwell, with the mood that he was in, looks to take him on and goes with an aerial stroke towards wide long off. Hardik covers good ground running to his left from long off. He knows he wouldn't be able to reach it. Hence, flings himsel |
| 14.5 : 14.5: A Dananjaya to S Iyer, SIX! Woah! Shreyas Iyer plays for Mumbai in the domestic circuit and hence, these conditions aren't alien to him. He gets his front leg out of the way and deposits this over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: K Pandya to J Roy, SIX! Humongous strike that! Floated up outside off, Roy gets down the track to strike it big. Is nowhere near the ball, yet he goes through with the shot. The ball goes high up in the air and lands behind the sightscreen. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: K Pandya to S Iyer, FOUR! Not good from Rahul Chahar the sub. Flatter outside off at a quicker pace, Iyer stays back and cuts it through point. Should have been two at the most but the fielder in the deep fails to stop it cleanly. Concedes a boundary. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: J Bumrah to J Roy, FOUR! Length ball angling in, Roy stands tall and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: J Bumrah to S Iyer, FOUR! Another one. Short in length outside off, Iyer camps back and cuts it fiercely. Makes good contact and earns a boundary. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: M Rahman to S Iyer, FOUR! Nice way to end the over! Iyer is making Mumbai pay now. Short in length yet again, he stays back and pulls it. Bisects the gap between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket and gets a boundary. 16 needed off the last two overs. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: M Rahman to J Roy, Knock FOUR off the target! This is bowled full and angled away from Roy. He reaches out and carves it over extra covers for a boundary. 7 needed from 5 balls. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: M Rahman to J Roy, SIX! Game, set, match! Jason Roy has done it on his own. Rahman lets out a length ball in line of the stumps. Roy walks across and helps it over the fine leg fence for half a dozen. Wow! |
