| 2.6 : Kwena Maphaka to Travis Head, FOUR! He is on a roll here! Clever, clever batting this from the Aussie southpaw! Slightly outside off on a hard length, Travis Head arches back and uses the pace of the ball by guiding it over the short third fielder for a boundary. 22 runs from this over. |

| 5.1 : Gerald Coetzee to Abhishek Sharma, NO BALL! False start for Coetzee! Goes for a slower one but this slips out of hand and it goes above-waist towards the batter. It lands outside the cut strip on the off side and the umpire signals a No Ball. Hardik Pandya has challenged the decision and feels that it was below the waist and it should only be wide. However, the side on replay confirms that it was well over waist high and a Free Hit will follow now. |

Mumbai is in a desperate need to find a breakthrough and see the back of Travis Head as quick as possible. Jasprit Bumrah has bowled just one over and has looked good but other than |

| 7.1 : Gerald Coetzee to Travis Head, Wide! |
| Gerald Coetzee to Travis Head, Needless throw! Coetzee bowls it on a fullish length, outside off, Travis Head gets low to squeeze it wide of short third.

| 0.0 : The headlines have been made for the newspapers for the next day as THE HIGHEST TOTAL IN THE HISTORY OF THE INDIAN T20 LEAGUE HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY BREACHED BY HYDERABAD AFTER 12 LONG YEARS! 277 blistering runs in 20 overs with 19 fours and 18 mammoth sixes. Let's pause for a bit, and give credit where it's due. The batters of Hyderabad delivered a thunderous performance, treating the crowd to an exhilarating display of power-hitting. With a plethora of sixes and a continuous feast of boundaries |
| Hyderabad's innings began with a notable shake-up in the batting order, as Travis Head partnered with Mayank Agarwal at the crease. Head wasted no time, immediately igniting the innings with an explosive start. He attacked the young Maphaka from the outset.. With precision and ease, he dispatched boundaries, showcasing his aggressive intent. Agarwal played a supportive role before eventually departing. However, Head remained undeterred, continuing his boundary spree with fearless determination. |
| For Mumbai, things just didn't go right for them from the outset. Kwena Maphaka joined the ranks on his debut but he had a forgetful game as he went for a plenty. Mumbai bowlers leaked runs and found no solution to get any breakthroughs early on. Surprisingly, Jasprit Bumrah bowled just a solitary over and he was the only one who looked unbothered amidst the onslaught. Hardik Pandya did get a wicket of Mayank Agarwal but runs kept leaking and flowing right and left. Gerald Coetzee finally, got t |
| Heinrich Klaasen is down for a quick chat for his blistering 80 off just 34 balls. He jokingly says that they have the best ground staff in the world for preparing the best wickets to bat on. Mentions that they had a solid start and the tempo was set up front. Further adds that he is happy to have been able to capitalise. Shares that his feet are still on the ground and will continue to do the hard work and look at the next game. Feels that Mumbai missed a trick by not bowling Bumrah upfront |
| Right then, after witnessing the highest ever first-inning total in the history of the Indian T20 League, Mumbai finds themselves facing a next-to-impossible target of 278 to chase. It will take nothing short of a miracle for them to flip the script from this juncture. The all-important run-chase is just around the corner. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds! |
| ...The Run Chase... |
| We are back for the all-important chase to commence! The two Umpires make their way out to the middle, and the players of Hyderabad are seen in the last-minute huddle just near the ropes. Pat Cummins is offering the words of wisdom before they disperse throughout the field. |
