| 0.0 : The 10th edition of the Indian T20 League will come to a close tonight. It's been a real roller coaster of a ride, bringing its moments of some lows with a lot of highs. Particularly for these two teams in question. It can't be largely argued that the two best teams in the tournament have made their way into the finals, choosing different paths of course. Mumbai broke their usual tradition of starting slow by winning 9 out of their first 11 games, while Pune after a rather poor start went on to |
| It's going to be a great contest tonight. It's going to be a challenge for Mumbai. They've lost all 3 games against their neighbours this season and they'll be itching to change that. What better chance than tonight? Who'll get the better of who in Hyderabad? Will Pune win their first ever title, or will Rohit Sharma and his men make history being the first team to win the Indian T20 League thrice? All will be revealed by the end of night. Hello and welcome, my friends, for what should be a trul |
| TOSS - Mumbai win the toss and opt to bat. |
| Rohit Sharma says that they are going to bat first. Feels that the pitch is good and says that last time they played here, it played a touch slower in the second innings. Mentions that they will look to put runs on board and build pressure on the opposition. Adds that he is pretty excited to be in the finals once again. Admits that it feels good when the hard work pays off. Informs that they are playing the same team as the last game. |
| Steven Smith says they would have batted first as well as he reckons the wicket will slow down with the progression of the game, so it's nice to have some runs on the board first up, especially in the finals. States both teams deserve to be there tonight and hopes it's a good match. Ends by saying they have the same team as well. |
| Mumbai XI - Lendl Simmons, Parthiv Patel(WK), Rohit Sharma(C), Ambati Rayudu, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Karn Sharma, Mitchell Johnson, Lasith Malinga, Jasprit Bumrah. |
| Pune XI - Ajinkya Rahane, Rahul Tripathi, Steven Smith(C), Manoj Tiwary, MS Dhoni(WK), Daniel Christian, Washington Sundar, Lockie Ferguson, Shardul Thakur, Adam Zampa, Jaydev Unadkat. |
| We are prepared to get started. Parthiv Patel and Lendl Simmons stride out to the middle one final time. Jaydev Unadkat to take the ball first up for Pune. A slip is in place for him. Time to get the ball rolling. Here we go... |
| 0.1 : J Unadkat to L Simmons, Good carry instantly for Unadkat. Comes steaming in and bowls it on a back of a length just outside off, Simmons covers the line and lets it through. |
| 0.2 : J Unadkat to L Simmons, Takes the pace off this one, pitches it well outside off. Lendl Simmons reaches out to play at it but can't put any bat on ball. |
| 0.3 : J Unadkat to L Simmons, Bit fuller in length this time, it's kept out solidly from within the crease. |
| 0.4 : J Unadkat to L Simmons, First runs of the final, Lendl Simmons is off the mark. Too straight in line, he walks across and works it to mid-wicket for a quick single. |
| 0.5 : J Unadkat to P Patel, Parthiv Patel is off the mark straightaway. Wrists it to the mid-wicket area and runs across to get off strike. |
| 0.6 : J Unadkat to L Simmons, Great first over from Jaydev Unadkat, just 3 runs off it. Hurls it on a length just around off, Simmons off the outside edge defends it to gully. A brisk run is taken. |
| Washington Sundar to share the new ball. |
| 1.1 : W Sundar to L Simmons, Full and on off, pushed quicker through the air, Simmons prods forward in defense. |
| 1.2 : W Sundar to L Simmons, Drags the length back seeing Simmons walk out, bowls it flat on middle and leg. Worked away in front of square on the leg side for a run. |
| 1.3 : W Sundar to P Patel, Comes from around the wicket and bowls a slider, it's coming in around off, Parthiv backs away to cut but is cramped for room. Finds the fielder at extra cover. That fielder is Steven Smith. |
| 1.4 : W Sundar to P Patel, Pitched on a length on off, Parthiv punches it straight to Smith at extra cover. |
| 1.5 : W Sundar to P Patel, On the shorter side of things, Parthiv Patel cuts it again but this time between extra cover and cover. Rahul Tripathi at cover runs to his left and dives to get a hand to it, saves runs for his team. The batsmen can only manage two. |
| 1.6 : W Sundar to P Patel, Full and coming in, Patel looks to hit away but gets an inside edge towards square leg. The batsmen take a single. |
| 2.1 : J Unadkat to P Patel, OUT! Unadkat has his man! Cramps Parthiv Patel for room as he draws first blood. On a back of a length, Parthiv looks to heave it over mid on but does not time it well at all. It lobs towards Shardul Thakur positioned there who takes a dolly running in a few paces. Mumbai lose an early wicket, great start for Steven Smith's men. |
| 0.0 : Ambati Rayudu walks out to bat. |
| 2.2 : J Unadkat to A Rayudu, Back of a length well outside off, Rayudu flashes at it and hits it hard. Unfortunately for him, finds the cover-point fielder. |
| 2.3 : J Unadkat to A Rayudu, Slower one on off, just back of a length, Rayudu walks across to get behind the line and taps it down on the off side with soft hands for a quick run. |
| 2.4 : J Unadkat to L Simmons, OUT! Look at the brilliance from Jaydev Unadkat! Wow... That was outstanding. Superb stuff. Good length ball on middle, it's the slower one and well disguised which does Lendl Simmons in. He shapes to play across the line but the ball goes off the outside half. Bobbles back in Unadkat's direction and he dives low to his left to take a stunner with his left hand. Takes the catch cleanly just above the turf and gets his second of the over. Not easy to take those, show |
| The Mumbai skipper, Rohit Sharma strides out to bat. His team is in trouble and will need a captain's knock from him. |
| 2.5 : J Unadkat to R Sharma, Length delivery around off, Rohit Sharma blocks it in front of point. |
| 2.6 : J Unadkat to R Sharma, Gets off the mark as he turns it 'round the corner for one. |
| 3.1 : W Sundar to R Sharma, Turning in from around off, on a length, Rohit stands firm and blocks with the full face of the bat. |
| 3.2 : W Sundar to R Sharma, On the stumps once more, it's hit on the leg side. Steve Smith from mid-wicket moves to his left and makes a good stop. No run taken. |
| 3.3 : W Sundar to R Sharma, Rohit goes back and punches it past the diving short mid-wicket fielder to long on for a single. |
| Dhoni takes the bails off quickly and appeals for stumping against Rayudu. The umpire has gone upstairs to check it. |
| 3.4 : W Sundar to A Rayudu, Not out! Rayudu survives. But a good delivery from Washington Sundar. Ambati comes forward to play for the turn which isn't there. It goes past the outside edge and Dhoni whips the bails off in a flash, but appeals half-heartedly. He probably thinks Rayudu's back leg might just be in. It's still taken upstairs and the replays confirm the same. |
| 3.5 : W Sundar to A Rayudu, Shorter and flatter outside off, Rayudu hangs back and blocks it behind square on the off side. |
| 3.6 : W Sundar to A Rayudu, The batsman has played it towards mid-wicket. They pick up a single. |
| Shardul Thakur replaces Unadkat. |
| 4.1 : S Thakur to A Rayudu, Length ball in the off stump channel, Rayudu drives it to the left of mid off. Smith moves to his left and has a shy at the bowler's end seeing the batsmen take off for the run. Misses though which allows the run to be completed with ease. |
| 4.2 : S Thakur to R Sharma, Back of a length shaping back into the body, Rohit turns it through square leg and takes one. |
| 4.3 : S Thakur to A Rayudu, Spills it down the leg side, Ambati tries to work it fine down the leg side. Wide called by the umpire. |
| S Thakur to A Rayudu, Excellent line. Nice and straight on off stump, punched to the covers for a single. |
| 4.4 : S Thakur to R Sharma, Keeps it very tight, doesn't give the Mumbai skipper much room. Rohit can only block it down in front of short mid-wicket. |
| 4.5 : S Thakur to R Sharma, Outside off on a length, Rohit steers this towards Lockie Ferguson at gully. He moves to his right and makes a good diving stop. Keeps the batsmen to just a run. |
| 4.6 : S Thakur to A Rayudu, Hit away towards point for nothing. One more good over from Pune, just 5 runs off it. |
| Lockie Ferguson is introduced into the attack. |
| 5.1 : L Ferguson to R Sharma, FOUR! First boundary of the day! Good shot from Rohit Sharma. It's too full and wide outside off, room on offer as the batsman open the face to drive it square. Gets it between point and cover-point all the way to the fence for a boundary. |
| 5.2 : L Ferguson to R Sharma, Better. Tightens up the line and keeps it close to the off pole, it's pushed towards mid on. |
| 5.3 : L Ferguson to R Sharma, FOUR! ALMOST... The Mumbai captain could have been gone as well. The placement needed to be perfect and he executed it well. Straying on the pads, Sharma whips it past Unadkat at short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 5.4 : L Ferguson to R Sharma, Full and attacking the stumps, driven firmly straight to the man at mid on. |
| 5.5 : L Ferguson to R Sharma, FOUR! Edged and away! In the corridor of uncertainty, Rohit tries to feel for it and gets a thick edge. Flies past the vacant slip cordon to the third man boundary. |
| 5.6 : L Ferguson to R Sharma, FOUR! 16 off the over, this is just what Mumbai would have needed. A much better, controlled shot from Rohit Sharma this time. He stands tall and drives it on the up through the covers for a boundary. An expensive over, but Pune are still well ahead at this point. An excellent Powerplay for them. |
| Adam Zampa comes on to bowl now. |
| 6.1 : A Zampa to A Rayudu, Straighter one just outside off, Rayudu is cramped for room but still goes through with the cut shot. Misses and it's taken by the keeper. |
| 6.2 : A Zampa to A Rayudu, FOUR! The runs are coming thick and fast for Mumbai now. 5 boundaries in quick succession. It's short and wide outside off, Rayudu cuts it away past the diving point fielder for a boundary. |
| 6.3 : A Zampa to A Rayudu, Cut away again, past the same fielder but this time there's a fielder out in the deep. Two runs to the total. |
| Dhoni has chat with Zampa. The Aussie leggie was bowling a touch short and giving room to the batsman. |
| 6.4 : A Zampa to A Rayudu, Close. Tossed up on off, Ambati Rayudu kneels down to slog sweep but gets an inside edge past the leg stump. Unadkat chases it down as just a run is taken. |
| 6.5 : A Zampa to R Sharma, Comfortably done. Bit shortish on off, it's punched off the back foot through to deep cover for one run. |
| 6.6 : A Zampa to A Rayudu, Rayudu connects the slog sweep better this time. Gets it through mid-wicket off the inner half for a single. |
| 7.1 : L Ferguson to A Rayudu, Ferguson comes charging in and fires it full on middle, it's coming in as Rayudu flicks straight to the short mid-wicket fielder. He fumbles a bit but doesn't concede the run. |
| 0.0 : The Pune skipper has scored a direct hit from mid off. Rayudu seems to be in trouble and the umpire has gone upstairs. |
| 7.2 : L Ferguson to A Rayudu, OUT! GONE! Brilliant work from Steven Smith, this is a great piece of fielding. Bull's eye! Rayudu pushes this towards wide mid off and sets off for the run. Smith is quick to the ball as he runs to his left and within no time, fires it at the non-striker's end. It's awesome and he hits his target. Rayudu's reaction indicates he hasn't made it as the decision goes upstairs. Replays show he's well out of his crease and that's another blow to Mumbai. |
| Krunal Pandya walks out to bat. |
| 7.3 : L Ferguson to R Sharma, Outside off on a length, it's run down to third man for one. |
| 7.4 : L Ferguson to K Pandya, Length ball on middle and leg, Krunal clips this through mid-wicket. Unadkat chases it down as the batsmen run two. The southpaw wants the third and is halfway down the track, in complete contrast to his partner who's holding his hand up and still inside his crease. The throw is at Ferguson who throws it to Dhoni. But by this time, Krunal has made it back in. |
| 7.5 : L Ferguson to K Pandya, Worked away easily behind square on the leg side. One run added to the total. |
| 7.6 : L Ferguson to R Sharma, Wide! Wide down the leg side, No trouble at all for the batsman. The umpire has signalled a wide. |
| L Ferguson to R Sharma, Hurled on a length, way outside off, Rohit looks to cut but gets a bottom edge on it. Dot ball to end the over. |
| 8.1 : A Zampa to K Pandya, Floats up a leg spinner around off, it's turning back in as Krunal Pandya meets it with the full face of the bat. |
| 8.2 : A Zampa to K Pandya, Walks down the track to this, Zampa darts it on his pads. Looks to flick but it goes off the same on the leg side. |
| 8.3 : A Zampa to K Pandya, Wide! Darts it again but down the leg side this time, wide called. |
| A Zampa to K Pandya, Loopy full ball on the stumps, eased back down to long on for a comfortable run. |
| 8.4 : A Zampa to R Sharma, Almost a mix-up. Need to be careful here. Rohit drops this in front of point and wants the run. Is sent back just in time by his partner as the throw was coming in at the keeper's end. |
| 8.5 : A Zampa to R Sharma, Flatter, shorter and on off, Rohit goes back to pull but mistimes it back down to long on for a single. |
| 8.6 : A Zampa to K Pandya, Straighter one on the pads, Krunal works it off his pads towards short fine leg and hares across. |
| Time Out has been taken. Pune once again have held an upper hand on the game over Mumbai. They have kept the runs in check and got rid of the opposition's top order. Mumbai would hope that their skipper stays out in the middle for as long as possible and help them post a good total. |
| Washington Sundar is brought back into the attack. |
| 9.1 : W Sundar to K Pandya, Starts off around the wicket, bowls it full on leg and it doesn't turn at all. Keeps going on with the angle and catches Krunal on the pad. Muted appeal, to no avail. |
| 9.2 : W Sundar to K Pandya, Slider around off, the left-hander opens the face and dabs it towards short third man for a quick one. |
| 9.3 : W Sundar to R Sharma, From over the wicket, it's worked away on the leg side. Dot ball. |
| 9.4 : W Sundar to R Sharma, Better placement, flicks it through backward square leg and takes a run. |
| 9.5 : W Sundar to K Pandya, The batsman has punched the ball off the back foot. |
| 9.6 : W Sundar to K Pandya, FOUR! That's a very good shot. Leans ahead to this tossed up ball from around the wicket, lofts it cleanly over extra cover and beats a diving Daniel Christian out in the deep to get to the boundary. |
| Rohit Sharma is caught at deep mid-wicket. Shardul Thakur has taken the catch, but while taking it, it seems his foot might have touched the rope. The umpires have taken it upstairs, although the soft signal is out. |
| 10.1 : A Zampa to R Sharma, OUT! Big wicket! Flatter and shorter delivery, sliding in, Rohit Sharma camps back and heaves it over mid-wicket. Shardul Thakur in the deep takes a good catch but fails to keep his balance right. The momentum takes him behind and he seems to avoid the fence by just. The umpire still goes upstairs and the replay shows that the catch is clean. This is a big blow to Mumbai. Rohit once again departs to a leggie. |
| 0.0 : Kieron Pollard is the next man in for Mumbai. |
| 10.2 : A Zampa to K Pandya, Served outside off, eased down to long off for a single. |
| 10.3 : A Zampa to K Pollard, SIX! Off the mark in style! Tossed up leg break outside off. Pollard smokes it over long off for a maximum. |
| 10.4 : A Zampa to K Pollard, Fuller outside off, Kieron milks it down to long off for a single. |
| 10.5 : A Zampa to K Pandya, Spinning in from around middle and off, Pandya prods forward and wrists it through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 10.6 : A Zampa to K Pollard, OUT! That's some unbelievable field placement. Tossed up full on off, Pollard goes flat and straight down the ground. Manoj Tiwary has been placed at straight long off and he pouches it with ease. Kudos to Zampa for tossing it up again. Mumbai in big trouble now. They have lost half their side now. |
| Hardik Pandya is next in. Mumbai are in real trouble here. Upto the Pandya brothers now to take their team to a fighting total in the very least. |
| 11.1 : W Sundar to K Pandya, The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery. |
| 11.2 : W Sundar to K Pandya, Sliding into the batsman, defended off the front foot. |
| 11.3 : W Sundar to K Pandya, Skidding into the southpaw, wrists through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 11.4 : W Sundar to H Pandya, The batsman has played that off the front foot and into the ground. |
| 11.5 : W Sundar to H Pandya, Served in the line of the stumps, Hardik defends it watchfully. |
| 11.6 : W Sundar to H Pandya, Hardik works it with the spin on the leg side and takes off for a single but is sent back by his brother. |
| 12.1 : A Zampa to K Pandya, Fuller on middle and leg, clipped through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 12.2 : A Zampa to H Pandya, SIX! Glorious! Tossed up outside off, Pandya lofts it with the spin over wide long off and clears the fence for a maximum. |
| 12.3 : A Zampa to H Pandya, Low full toss, driven hard but straight to Smith at short cover. |
| 12.4 : A Zampa to H Pandya, Tossed up on the stumps, flicked off the front foot through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 12.5 : A Zampa to K Pandya, Krunal kneels down and looks to paddle sweep it but gets it off the edge in the short fine leg region for a single. |
| 12.6 : A Zampa to H Pandya, Full toss, milked down to long on for a single. |
| Daniel Christian is brought into the bowling attack. |
| 13.1 : D Christian to H Pandya, Length delivery, angling in, Hardik gets across and tucks it away past short fine leg. The deep backward square leg fielder cuts it off and keeps it down to a couple. |
| 13.2 : D Christian to H Pandya, OUT! Christian strikes! Strength and on a length, angling in, Hardik looks to play it across the line but misses and gets rapped on the pads. The players go up in appeal and the umpire raises his finger straightaway. Another one bites the dust. This is some performance from the Pune bowlers. |
| Karn Sharma walks into the middle next. |
| 13.3 : D Christian to K Sharma, Length and angling away, Karn throws his bat at it but misses. |
| 13.4 : D Christian to K Sharma, A touch behind length, angling away. Sharma looks to cut it but misses it once again. |
| 13.5 : D Christian to K Sharma, Back of a length delivery, angling away. Karn with another swing and a miss. |
| 13.6 : D Christian to K Sharma, Shortish delivery, angling away, Sharma mistimes his pull. Is lucky that the ball falls short of Unadkat at mid on. After an initial hesitation, the single is completed with ease. |
| Shardul Thakur is back on to bowl. |
| 14.1 : S Thakur to K Sharma, OUT! Comedy of errors! Pitched on a length, angling away, Karn tries to turn it away on the leg side but gets a leading edge and the ball flies wide of Christian at first slip. He gets low to his left, gets both hands to it but ends up dropping it. However, there's a big mix-up in the middle. Christian is alert and throws it towards Thakur, who runs at the striker's end. Shardul collects the ball and takes off the bails. This one was on the cards as since Krunal has |
| 0.0 : Time Out! |
| Mitchell Johnson to take the bat next. |
| 14.2 : S Thakur to M Johnson, Full and straight, defended back to the bowler. |
| 14.3 : S Thakur to M Johnson, On the fuller side of the length, angling away, Johnson gets across and clips it through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 14.4 : S Thakur to K Pandya, Full and angling away, Pandya drives it uppishly through covers for a single. |
| 14.5 : S Thakur to M Johnson, Pitched full outside off, defended back to the bowler. |

| 15.2 : D Christian to K Pandya, Full outside off, once again Pandya shimmies across and drives it through covers for a single. |
| 15.3 : D Christian to M Johnson, Angling away from Johnson, he looks to steer it away but misses. |
| 15.4 : D Christian to M Johnson, Length delivery, angling away, Mitchell flat-bats it past the bowler. Unadkat at mid on, dives to his right and makes a good stop. A single is taken. |
| 15.5 : D Christian to K Pandya, Fuller length delivery, angling away, Krunal looks to flick it on the leg side but is early in closing his bat face. Gets squared up and the ball goes off the leading edge through cover-point for a brace. |
| 15.6 : D Christian to K Pandya, On a length and angling away, Krunal guides it towards third man for a single. |
| Jaydev Unadkat is back. |
| 16.1 : J Unadkat to K Pandya, Two Leg byes! Length delivery, angling down leg. Pandya gets across and looks to work it on the leg side but misses. The ball brushes his thigh pad and runs towards fine leg. A couple of leg byes is taken. |
| 16.2 : J Unadkat to K Pandya, Slower short delivery outside off, Pandya looks to pull it away but gets a feather. Luckily for him, it falls short of Dhoni behind the stumps. |
| 16.3 : J Unadkat to K Pandya, Another slower short delivery, Pandya looks to pull it away but fails to hit it cleanly. Mistimes it past the bowler for a single. |
| 16.4 : J Unadkat to M Johnson, Angling down leg, clipped behind square on the leg side for a single. |
| 16.5 : J Unadkat to K Pandya, Slower one wide outside off, Krunal throws his bat at it but gets beaten by the lack of pace again. |
| 16.6 : J Unadkat to K Pandya, Slower one, angling in, Pandya gets across and checks his punch through wide mid on for a couple. |
| 17.1 : D Christian to M Johnson, Johnson gets across and looks to paddle scoop but Christian cleverly sprays it very wide and Johnson misses. |
| 17.2 : D Christian to M Johnson, SIX! Mistimed into the fence! Short and angling away, Johnson flat-bats it over mid on. Fails to get it off the meat but the ball still travels the distance. Much-needed maximum, this! |
| 17.3 : D Christian to M Johnson, Fuller on the stumps, Mitchell mistimes his heave through wide mid on for a single. |
| 17.4 : D Christian to K Pandya, Pandya punches it off the back foot to sweeper cover for a single. |
| 17.5 : D Christian to M Johnson, Run out chance! Slower short delivery, Johnson gets under it and looks to upper cut but misses. Dhoni gets an awkward bounce in front of him and fumbles. The ball travels towards Rahane at short third man. Krunal calls Johnson for a bye and he obliges. Rahane is alert and throws at the bowler's end but misses. Had he hit, the Aussie was a goner. |
| 17.6 : D Christian to K Pandya, FOUR! Fuller length delivery outside off, Pandya creams it through cover-point. Sundar in the deep looks to cut it off but fails to keep it out. 13 runs off the over! |
| 18.1 : J Unadkat to M Johnson, Johnson backs away, Unadkat bowls a good slower one outside off. Mitchell reaches out for it and places in the backward point region for a single. |

| 18.5 : J Unadkat to K Pandya, SIX! Slower delivery, shaping in, Pandya pulls it handsomely over wide long on for a maximum. |
| 18.6 : J Unadkat to K Pandya, The batsman has punched that ball through the offside. One run added to the total. |
| 19.1 : D Christian to K Pandya, Wide! Christian goes for the wide yorker but gets his line wrong. A wide is called. |
| D Christian to K Pandya, Slower one outside off, Pandya throws the kitchen sink at it but gets beaten by the lack of pace. |
| 19.2 : D Christian to K Pandya, FOUR! Full on middle and leg, Pandya gets low and whips it aerially in front of square leg for a boundary. Beautiful shot, that! |
| 19.3 : D Christian to K Pandya, Wide! Once again Christian gets his line wrong as he bowls it well wide outside off. Second wide of the over. |
| D Christian to K Pandya, SIX! Boom! Pandya picks the slower one early and smokes it over the bowler's head for a biggie. Crucial runs, these! 12 runs off the over already. |
| 19.4 : D Christian to K Pandya, Driven through mid on region. They think of a second but seeing Smith there, they don't go for it. |
| 19.5 : D Christian to M Johnson, Slower back of a length delivery, pulled on the leg side for a single. 50-run stand is up with this single. This partnership has given something for Mumbai to fight for. |
| 50-run stand between Krunal and Johnson! |
| 19.6 : D Christian to K Pandya, OUT! In the air... taken! Slower short delivery, Pandya looks to pull it away but gets a top edge. The ball goes high in the air and Rahane from deep mid-wicket, runs forward, settles under it and pouches it safely. Christian has his second and that's end of Krunal's superb fighting knock. MUMBAI FINISH ON 129/8! |
| Another excellent bowling performance from Pune. They came out and were right on the money from the start. Cramped the Mumbai batsmen for room in the Powerplay, got the wickets then and just kept at it. Krunal Pandya was the only one who provided any kind of resistance. He fell short of his fifty but his 50-run stand with Mitchell Johnson has given Mumbai something to bowl at. |
| It would seem a relatively easy task for Pune, to chase down 130. They'll be a bit disappointed though as they gave away 37 runs in the last 3 overs. The wicket will get much slower and if Mumbai manage to scalp a couple of early wickets, we could certainly have a match on our hands. The Powerplay will be key for both teams. Let's see how it goes. Join us back in a short while for the chase. |
