| 0.0 : Strategic break! Mumbai managed to get an early wicket but Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya began the rebuild as the young opener took the attack to the bowlers.

Back of a length and outside off, Tewatia reads the line and length and shuffles across before getting inside the line and pulling it over the fine leg fence for another maximum. |
| 19.3 : Jason Behrendorff to Rahul Tewatia, A slower bumper around off, Rahul Tewatia looks to take it on but rolls his left ankle. Tewatia manages to half-pull it through square leg for a single. |
| 19.4 : Jason Behrendorff to David Miller, Swing and a miss! Another slower one, on a length and around off stump. It is in the slot a bit and David Miller swings hard across the line only to be beaten by the lack of pace. |
| 19.5 : Jason Behrendorff to David Miller, OUT! TAKEN! High, high but not long enough! Another knuckleball from Jason Behrendorff and he bowls this one at just 107 clicks and around off stump. David Miller has to go for it but is way too early into his swing across the line. The ball comes up off the splice of the bat and goes a mile up in the air, over the mid-wicket region. Suryakumar Yadav comes in a long way from the deep and settles under it to take a solid catch. Miller departs after a fi |
| 19.6 : Jason Behrendorff to Rashid Khan, A couple of runs to end then! Jason Behrendorff bangs this one in over middle and leg and gets it at a good height as well. Rashid Khan goes after it and pulls it aerially toward deep mid-wicket. There's no timing on it and the fielder comes racing in from the deep. The ball falls well short but the fielder manages to get his hands behind it as the batters get across for a brace. Gujarat finish with a mammoth total of 207/6 on the board! |
| 19.5 : Rashid Khan will face the last delivery. |
| 19.6 : A strong finish for Gujarat and they have posted a commanding total on the board! David Miller and Rahul Tewatia have shown why they are the best finishers in the Indian T20 League! Gujarat put on 70 runs in the last four overs and have 207 runs on the board which they will be mightly pleased with. Mumbai's death bowling woes continued as they were unable to wrap up the good effort they put in for the first 16 overs. Arjun Tendulkar and Jason Behrendorff bowled with discipline with the form |
| Gujarat did not get off to the best of starts losing Wriddhiman Saha on a low score but his partner Shubman Gill continued to attack the bowlers. Hardik Pandya hung around for a bit but was dismissed as he looked to accelerate the scoring. Shubman Gill reached a well-constructed half-century but perished soon after and Vijay Shankar followed him back to the shed playing a loose shot. Abhinav Manohar and David Miller got together to put on a 71-run partnership in 35 deliveries as they prov |
| Abhinav Manohar will share a few words. He says that he went in after a few wickets fell and he was told to carry on for three overs and then go hard and that's what David Miller and he tried to do. Adds that there was an effort from the batters in the middle overs to get more runs and they tried to take on the likes of Piyush Chawla. Mentions that the first 6 overs are very important and is hopeful that the bowlers will defend the total. |
| Right then, Mumbai have the batting order to be able to overcome this target but will need a good start from their openers. This pitch has been great for teams that have been chasing and the visitors will take confidence from that fact as they look to register an important win. Gujarat have a formidable bowling attack and with the home crowd behind them, they will feel confident of defending the total they have put up on the board. Will they get back-to-back wins? Or will the visitors return to |
| ... THE RUN CHASE ... |
| We are back for the second essay as the umpires make their way out to the middle. The Gujarat players form a huddle at the boundary line before dispersing onto the field and taking their respective fielding positions. |
