Delhi Daredevils vs Mumbai Indians Highlights And Cricket Score 55th Match - T20 Commentary
175 is the target needed for Mumbai to get through to the Playoffs. Unlike previous seasons, they do not have a specific over range within which to do it - full quota of 20 overs is allotted. But they have obstacles - a slowish pitch and captain Rohit Sharma injured. Will he bat? Well, the openers can capitalize on the new ball in the Powerplay and take the slowness of the pitch out of the equation somewhat and make life easier for the other batsmen. Stay tuned for Mumbai's reply...
Surprisingly, Krunal Pandya bowled just 2 overs - probably because Rohit did not want to use him with Pant at the crease. Bumrah was economical as normal but the rest struggled. Markande was under-bowled as well, simply because he is a leggie and Pant is a southpaw. Wonder what would legends like Steve Waugh have done at this stage - not bowl Warnie just because there is a left-handed batsman playing well? Ummm... well, he would have said - if they have the best, we have OUR best too. Might have been worth giving Markande his full quota of overs.
Mumbai bowled well, but in phases. They restricted Delhi to 46/2 in the Powerplay but then conceded 74 runs in the next 9 overs, picking up just 1 wicket. This was when Pant was in full flow. But look at this from another angle - in the last 5 overs they conceded just 54 runs, which is a good comeback of sorts, considering that Pant was tearing the bowlers apart.
Not surprisingly, the one to orchestrate the innings was Rishabh Pant. A whirlwind 64 from 44 balls, with the number 4 present in the runs, the balls faced and even in the boundaries - meaning 4 fours and 4 sixes. The top order had a regular day at the office, in spite of today being a Sunday - blown away cheaply. Vijay Shankar played a good hand towards the end to lift the total close to 175.
Not a bad total at all. A who-cares-what-happens-game for the home side but certainly not so for the visitors. Mumbai have a terrific net run rate but they need to WIN this game to make it into the final four.
Ben Cutting to Abhishek Sharma. A swing and a miss to end the innings. Another cutter from Cutting, Abhishek looks to mow this but misses. The batsmen take a quick bye and DELHI FINISH ON 174/4!
Ben Cutting to Vijay Shankar. Full and outside off, driven towards long off for a run.
Ben Cutting to Vijay Shankar. SIX! GLORIOUS! Great timing. On a length, on middle, Shankar just lofts it straight back and this time the ball clears long on with ease!
Ben Cutting to Abhishek Sharma. Jaipur looking, Mumbai turning? Something of that sort. A length ball outside off, Abhishek gets down and looks to swipe but is months early into the shot. The ball hits the back of his bat and goes towards point. A run taken.
Ben Cutting to Vijay Shankar. On middle, swung towards long on. So poorly timed is the shot that it does not even reach the fielder in the deep. A single taken.
Ben Cutting to Vijay Shankar. FOUR! Magnificent shot! On a length, on middle, Shankar just whips it off his hips through square leg and beats Bumrah's dive in the deep!
Ben Cutting to Vijay Shankar. WIDE. A slower one, goes miles outside off, Shankar swings but misses.
Ben Cutting to bowl the final over. Meanwhile, ROHIT SHARMA IS OFF THE FIELD. He is receiving treatment on his left shoulder.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vijay Shankar. DROPPED! But has Rohit hurt himself? In all likelihood, YES. A high full toss outside off, Shankar steers it straight to Rohit Sharma at point. He gets down to take the catch but the ball slips out. He then falls awkwardly on his left shoulder and grimaces in pain. A single taken in the meanwhile. An erratic Bumrah over, but still only 8 runs from it.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vijay Shankar. WIDE. Another one down the leg side but this time to the right-hander. This would have been a great ball for a southpaw. Shankar misses his flick.
Jasprit Bumrah to Abhishek Sharma. Pushes this through to long on for a run.
Jasprit Bumrah to Abhishek Sharma. WIDE. Full but down the leg side, would have been a very good delivery for a right-hander but the southpaw misses his flick.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vijay Shankar. Full and outside off, driven through the covers for one.
Jasprit Bumrah to Abhishek Sharma. The batsman has driven it through mid off. One run added to the total.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vijay Shankar. ALMOST A CATCH! A slower ball, outside off, Shankar has to reach out for it and ends up slicing it. The ball goes high in the air and Rohit Sharma runs to his right from backward point. Dives but cannot reach it. A run taken.
Jasprit Bumrah to Abhishek Sharma. On middle and leg, pretty full, flicked through mid-wicket for a single.
Jasprit Bumrah is back on.
Mustafizur Rahman to Abhishek Sharma. Played to the mid-wicket region by the batsman. One run added to the total. 11 from the over, Mustafizur finishes with figures of 4-0-34-0.
Mustafizur Rahman to Abhishek Sharma. Outside off, chipped over covers this time for a couple.
Mustafizur Rahman to Abhishek Sharma. SIX! Holy moly! What a shot. On a length, Abhishek swings it miles over mid-wicket!
Mustafizur Rahman to Vijay Shankar. The batsman has played it towards mid-wicket. One run added to the total.
Mustafizur Rahman to Vijay Shankar. DIRECT HIT, OR EVEN A BETTER THROW WOULD HAVE HAD SHANKAR. Outside off, Vijay drives this through the covers. He sets off for a non-existent single and Hardik Pandya the man over there, has a wild shy at the striker's end. Hardik was not entirely wrong there, since Ishan Kishan had to run a long way to get at the stumps. But had he waited for a second there, Mr. Pandya, he could have seen where Vijay Shankar was - right in the middle of the pitch. He could have then thrown it to Kishan who could have dislodged the bails.
Mustafizur Rahman to Abhishek Sharma. On a length outside off, punched through the covers for a single.
Krunal Pandya to Abhishek Sharma. Played to mid-wicket region by the batsman. One run added to the total. Spinners get hit at this stage did you say, Sanju? Well, Krunal has proved you wrong - at least for now. Terrific over - 4 runs and a big wicket.
Abhishek Sharma comes in at number 6, replacing Pant.
Krunal Pandya to Rishabh Pant. OUT! Finds the man this time! Rohit will be relieved. He has got perhaps the only wicket his side needed in this game. Pant's heroics end. A tossed up ball, around off, Pant swings hard, looking to go over long on but finds Kieron Pollard at the fence. End of a fine knock - 64 from 44 balls. Has given some respectability to the total.
Krunal Pandya to Rishabh Pant. Ugly. Swings hard and slices it over covers. Gets a couple.
Krunal Pandya to Rishabh Pant. Excellent yorker, on middle, dug out back to the bowler.
Krunal Pandya to Rishabh Pant. Driven through the covers by the batsman. The batsmen have not run through for a single.
Krunal Pandya to Vijay Shankar. On middle and leg, flicked through mid-wicket for a single.
Krunal Pandya is back on. One of our mates, Sanju is not too happy with this decision as he reckons spinners go for plenty at this stage. Let's see...
Hardik Pandya to Rishabh Pant. Full and outside off, driven straight to mid off. 16 from that over, 29 from the last 2!
Hardik Pandya to Rishabh Pant. The batsman goes after this one but misses the line completely.
Hardik Pandya to Rishabh Pant. SIX! Effortless! On the pads, Pant whips this over mid-wicket and gets half a dozen!
Hardik Pandya to Rishabh Pant. FOUR LEG BYES! Bad line, down the leg side, Pant misses his flick but the ball goes off his pads past short fine leg.
Hardik Pandya to Rishabh Pant. NOT OUT. Pitched outside leg, maybe hit outside leg and perhaps hitting the stumps. It was a very full ball and Pant missed his flick. Hardik appealed and the umpire agreed. Pant crossed over while taking the run and then took the review. Hawk Eye showed the ball to be pitched outside leg. Now - the cricketing rule which is irritating - the ball is declared dead as Pant was given out. Why can't he be awarded the single or a leg bye in this case?
OUT! LBW! Is that pitched outside leg? Is the impact in line? Will the ball go on to hit the stumps? Well, Pant wants to check exactly that before he enters the dugout. Hence the review...
Hardik Pandya to Rishabh Pant. SIX! Hakuna Matata! Don't bother googling the phrase - it means no worries in African language. Well, that is exactly what Rishabh Pant is making his supporters feel - don't worry while I am there. A length delivery, on middle and off, Pant looks to play the reverse sweep, does play the reverse sweep and the final result is a maximum over third man!
Hardik Pandya time.
Mustafizur Rahman to Vijay Shankar. FOUR! Another off-cutter, moving away from the batsman, Shankar throws his bat at it and gets a thick outside edge which flies through the vacant slip cordon to the third man fence. 13 from the over, but not exactly a bad one from the Fizz.
Mustafizur Rahman to Rishabh Pant. HALF CENTURY FOR PANT! Yet another one for him. What is it? 5th 50-plus score in the last 7 games! Outstanding. On a length on middle, Rishabh drives this straight back. Mustafizur sticks out his right hand but is unable to stop it. The ball is diverted towards long on and the batsmen take a single. The scanty crowd applauds Pant for his wonderful knock. Both batsmen meet midway and Shankar congratulates Pant.
Mustafizur Rahman to Rishabh Pant. Full and outside off, driven straight to mid off.
Ummm... he is running in... no... jogging in.... still not 100 percent... but Mustafizur will bowl.
Oopss... Mustafizur is in trouble. He is on his haunches and eventually sits on the ground, checking his left ankle. Seems to be in a bit of discomfort and the physio is out in the middle.
Mustafizur Rahman to Rishabh Pant. Has he hurt himself? A hat-trick of off cutters from the Fizz and this time Pant whips this past the bowler towards long on. Rahman sticks his left leg out to stop that but his foot nearly twists! The Fizz immediately gets down and checks himself. This could be an unpleasant situation for the bowler. Meanwhile, the batsmen take a couple.
Mustafizur Rahman to Rishabh Pant. SIX! Oh my word! Pant has treated Mustafizur like a bowling machine. Another off cutter from the Fizz but it is Pant who cuts all the watchers into half in awe. He is clearly foxed again but continues to go through with his swing. Somehow, the bat makes contact with the ball and as if some spring is attached to the willow, the pressure released takes the ball into oblivion at mid-wicket! Trent Boult in the dressing room is in shock as well. Finally applauds. And another applause for Pant as he BECOMES THE LEADING RUN-GETTER THIS SEASON...
Mustafizur Rahman to Rishabh Pant. A wild heave-ho. See ball, hit ball, goes the saying. But Pant just hits the ball. Does not see it at all. A length ball outside off, Rishabh wildly swings but the shot he has played is in May while the ball arrives in December. Result is an inside edge which goes onto his pads.
The Fizz time. Mustafizur Rahman is back on.
Jasprit Bumrah to Rishabh Pant. Banged in short, Pant pulls it through mid-wicket for a run. Just 4 from the over but Delhi's plans or any other team's plans seem to be pretty clear - play Bumrah out, do not give him any wickets and attack the rest.
Jasprit Bumrah to Rishabh Pant. Full and outside off, driven towards mid off.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vijay Shankar. Again, a bit indecisive in playing, is Vijay. Looks to punch it through the off side but gets it off the inner half towards mid on. A single taken.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vijay Shankar. Ummm.... full and outside off, tailing in, Shankar initially looked to play the cover drive but the ball swung in late. Seeing that, he looked to play that a bit straighter and got it off the inner half towards mid-wicket. Had he been a second late, he would have been walking back to the pavillion with the umpires left to clean up the mess of his stumps.
Jasprit Bumrah to Rishabh Pant. Change of pace, worked through the leg side for a run.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vijay Shankar. Outside off, punched through point for a single.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! No... there is no explosion... just that the DJ at the ground is creating vibrations by yelling... BUMRAH! BUMRAH! BUMRAH! Mumbai will look for an explosion of wickets.
Time for a break. A discussion. What should we do? When do we go big? Who do we bowl in the final three overs? What is a good score on this wicket? Let the guys on the field keep contemplating as I head off for a quick break...
Ben Cutting to Vijay Shankar. Gets across his stumps and works it wide of mid-wicket for one. A good over for the batting side. Can they reach 170 from here?

Ben Cutting to Vijay Shankar. SIX! A boundary after 16 balls! On a length, on middle, Shankar just eases it over mid on and guess what, it goes over long on! The cameraman was panning at the sky and for a second we thought gravitational force was not active... till the camera panned into the stands...
Hardik Pandya to Vijay Shankar. Outside off, steered to third man for one.

MJ is up for an interview - Mahela Jayawardene, that is - with Deep Dasgupta. On being asked about the pressure match, Mahela says that this is just another game. Stresses that Mumbai have had a good season so far. Adds further in the last few years that they have been very consistent. Further scrutinizes by saying that there were 4 games Mumbai could have won, which they ended up losing. Is proud of his squad, seniors and juniors alike, for showing a lot of character this season. Feels that Mumbai got a good start today but admits that Rishabh Pant has gotten away. Assesses the wicket by saying that it looks difficult for a new batsman to get going, so hopes that his side can prevent partnerships building by picking up wickets.

Mayank Markande to Shreyas Iyer. OUT! Iyer holes out! Mumbai keep on chipping away at the wickets at regular intervals. Googly on a shorter length, spinning in. Iyer rocks back and goes for a pull but doesn't time it that well. Krunal Pandya is standing near the deep mid-wicket ropes and is cool as a cucumber. Takes the catch and maintains his balance.

Rishabh Pant comes out to bat.
Jasprit Bumrah to Glenn Maxwell. OUT! Bumrah strikes! He is the go-to man for Mumbai and he is producing the goods. Gets the crucial wicket of the dangerous Maxwell. Goes wide of the delivery and bowls a skiddy full length delivery around off, Maxwell with minimal foot movement tries to hit it down the ground but only manages to get an inside edge. The ball hits the pads and then deflects onto the stumps. A poor end to a shabby season for Glenn.
Jasprit Bumrah to Glenn Maxwell. A slight appeal for an LBW turned down! Good length delivery, angling in, Maxwell goes for a pull but gets an inside edge onto his pads. That saves him otherwise it was pretty adjacent.

Mustafizur Rahman to Glenn Maxwell. OUT! Shoddy stuff from Shaw and he is out of here! That was absolutely poor. On a length outside off, placed towards Hardik Pandya at backward point. Shaw has come out of his crease and the fielder spots that. Aims at the bowler's end and puts in an accurate throw. Prithvi is still walking back and the ball hits the bull's eye. He is from the Rahul Dravid school of coaching and that is why it is more disappointing to see him being so casual.
A run out appeal is referred upstairs. Casual stuff from Prithvi Shaw and it seems like he is a goner.
Mustafizur Rahman to have a bowl now.
Hardik Pandya to Prithvi Shaw. FOUR! Short ball down the leg side, Shaw pulls it towards backward square leg. Bumrah runs to his left and puts in a swimming pool dive in vain.

Jasprit Bumrah to Prithvi Shaw. FOUR! Flashes and flashes hard! That could have been a spectacular catch had he taken that. Shortish ball well outside off, allows Shaw to free his arms.

Jasprit Bumrah to share the new ball from the other end.

We are set to get rolling. Prithvi Shaw and Glenn Maxwell are the openers for Delhi. Krunal Pandya to begin the proceedings with the ball. Here we go....
Mumbai skipper, Rohit Sharma, says that it looks like a dry pitch and they need to play good cricket. Mentions that they have to restrict the opposition to as low as possible and chase the total down. Announces that Mitchell McClenaghan is suffering from a shoulder niggle and Mustafizur Rahman replaces him.
Delhi skipper, Shreyas Iyer, says that they will bat first. Mentions that there is no grass on the wicket and they will try to put a good score on the board. States that it will be a challenging game and they will give their best. Informs that there is one change - Liam Plunkett comes in place of Avesh Khan.
TOSS - Delhi win the toss and opt to bat.
Delhi, on the other hand, will be eager to sign off with a victory. Though they are at the rock bottom of the table, they are a highly capable side. When a team has nothing to lose, they become even more dangerous. The likes of Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant have shown sparks of brilliance on numerous occasions and will be aiming to deliver once again. Expect a cracking contest.
Hello and a warm welcome to the coverage of match 55 between Delhi and Mumbai. It is a do-or-die game for the visitors. Another opportunity for them to script an inspirational entry into the playoffs. They will be backing themselves as they have done it time and again. However, they can't afford to take the hosts lightly. A complete team performance is the need of the hour for the visitors. Might just be the ideal time for the Mumbai skipper to rise to the occasion.
That's it from us. Switch over to the next game where Chennai play host to Punjab. Thanks for joining us.
Amit Mishra has been awarded the Man of the Match for his terrific spell. His figures of 4-0-19-3 choked Mumbai and eventually, helped his side win the game.
The man who made a difference in the visitors' last game, Pollard, failed to deliver today. It was Maxwell's brilliance in the field which sent him packing. Cutting came in and hit a few lusty blows to keep the visitors on track. He had an opportunity to become the hero but failed to overcome the last hurdle. A disappointing end to an eventful season for Mumbai.
Mumbai got off to a brisk start but they also kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Lewis was going great guns and it seemed that he will take the game away from the opposition. However, Amit Mishra was in his elements and got rid of the big West Indian. The leggie bowled with needle-like precision and ended with figures of 4-0-19-3 to push the tourists on the back foot. Do not forget the other spinner from Nepal, Sandeep Lamichhane, who also took three wickets.
Delhi have played the party spoilers to shut the doors on Mumbai! Cutting's flourish at the fag end almost took them over the line but he was probably left with too much to do. This is only the second time since 2009 that the defending champions have failed to make it to the top four. Credit to the hosts for playing with authority.
Harshal Patel to Jasprit Bumrah. OUT! That's the final nail in the coffin! MUMBAI FAIL TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS! Fullish delivery, Bumrah goes hard at it but mistimes it towards long on. Boult takes a couple of steps in and takes an easy catch. DELHI WIN BY 11 RUNS!
Mustafizur Rahman is the last man in. Do the tailenders have it in them to script a fairy tale for their side?
Harshal Patel to Ben Cutting. OUT! That's probably the game for Delhi! Cutting gave it is all but had to do too much. Slower ball outside off, Cutting swings at it but ends up miscuing it towards deep mid-wicket. Maxwell is cool as a cucumber and takes it with ease.
Harshal Patel to Ben Cutting. SIX! Whoaaa! What a hit in a pressure situation! The big Aussie is in the mood tonight and is also displaying nerves of steel. Short delivery, sits up nicely for him. He pulls it with aplomb over fine leg and clears the fence with ease.
Jasprit Bumrah is the new man in. Meanwhile, Harshal Patel will bowl the last over. He has 17 runs to defend. Can Cutting emerge as the hero for Mumbai? Edge-of-the-seat stuff!
Trent Boult to Mayank Markande. OUT! Bowled 'em! Boult delivers a low full toss on off, Markande makes room and tries to go over covers but misses to find his stumps shattered. The 35-run stand from 25 balls comes to an end. Is it enough to take the visitors over the line?
Trent Boult to Ben Cutting. This is good bowling from Boult! He knows that anything in Cutting's arc will travel. He again bowls it well outside off, asking Ben to reach it. He throws his bat at it but slices it towards third man. Only a single results.
Trent Boult to Ben Cutting. Low full toss well outside off, Cutting swings his bat at it but ends up slicing it towards deep cover. Calls for the second and completes it with ease.
A little bit of a break here. Rishabh Pant seems to have injured himself while trying to take the throw. Has landed awkwardly on his left shoulder. What is it with the shoulders tonight?
Trent Boult to Mayank Markande. Another run out chance missed! This time of Cutting. Can prove to be very costly. Markande drives this one towards covers and takes off as he has to. Shaw aims at the striker's end but misses his shy as Pant rushes and dives to collect the ball. The keeper seems to be in a bit of pain.

Trent Boult to Ben Cutting. Well bowled! Boult watches that Cutting's initial trigger movement is towards the off stump and smartly bowls a yorker outside off. The batsman can only jam it down to long off for a single.
Liam Plunkett to Mayank Markande. Nicely played but Cutting rightly refuses the single. Length ball outside off, Markande taps it through backward point. There is a single on offer but Cutting wants the strike. He believes in his abilities. 15 from the over, Mumbai need 23 from 12 balls.

Liam Plunkett to Ben Cutting. FOUR! Wrong line! A short ball, on middle and off, Cutting walks across and pulls it past short fine leg for a boundary! 34 needed from 17 now.
Plunkett returns for a bowl. Mumbai are still in with a shot. They need 38 from 18 balls. All depends on the big-hitting skills of Cutting. Will he able to take Mumbai into the Playoffs?
Trent Boult to Ben Cutting. Run out chance missed! All happening out there. Low full toss on the stumps, Cutting goes for a paddle scoop but finds the short fine leg fielder. Calls his partner through and the shy at the striker's end misses. A run taken. 11 from the over.
Trent Boult to Ben Cutting. SIX! In the arc, out of the park! This is what Cutting can do. He adds insult to injury. On a fullish length around off, Cutting smokes it over long on for a biggie.

Amit Mishra to Mayank Markande. On a shorter length outside off, cut away to point. Terrific spell from Mishra, he has been the standout performer for Delhi. He finishes with figures of 4-0-19-3.
Strategic break taken. Meanwhile, Mayank Markande comes out to bat.
Amit Mishra to Hardik Pandya. OUT! With that, probably Mumbai's hopes have gone down the drain! Mishra has been sensational and he has struck gold once again. Mishra bowls this one well outside off. Pandya tries to fetch it from there and has a wild swing at it but only manages a top edge towards backward point. Tewatia (sub) is calm and pouches it safely.

Harshal Patel to Rohit Sharma. OUT! Gone! The Mumbai skipper fails to deliver once again. Important breakthrough for the hosts. Slower length ball on off, Sharma goes for the loft down the ground but is early into his stroke. Ends up mistiming it towards long on. Maxwell runs to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball, takes the catch. Has the presence of mind to flick it back to Boult who is waiting to take it. Once again the umpires check upstairs and Delhi are rewarded. Jubilation for the home side while it is a disappointment for the visitors.
Once again it seems the Aussie-Kiwi duo has done the trick! Terrific game awareness from them.

Harshal Patel to Rohit Sharma. Brilliant running! Fullish ball on leg stump, Sharma plays it with soft hands through mid-wicket and calls for two. They also complete it with ease. Pandya had taken off immediately, good presence of mind.
Maxwell is having a discussion with Pandya. He is asking him how come they got 5 runs on that ball in the previous over. The throw came in before the batsmen completed the run and hence, that should have been only four overthrows. Meanwhile, Patel is back on.
Trent Boult to Hardik Pandya. FOUR! Poor delivery and duly punished! Down the leg side, Pandya works it through backward square leg and the ball races to the fence.
Trent Boult to Rohit Sharma. The batsman drives this through the covers. The batsmen have run through for a single.
Trent Boult to Hardik Pandya. Bonus runs! Can't blame Iyer as Sharma was struggling. Hardik pushes this towards covers and sets off. The skipper has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. There is no one backing up. A fielder in the deep dives but parries it behind. Patel runs to his left, dives but seems that the ball has gone under his hand and has already touched the ropes. The replays confirm the same.
Trent Boult to Rohit Sharma. Slower ball, flicked through mid-wicket for a single.
The man from covers goes back to the fence.
Trent Boult to Rohit Sharma. FOUR! Beautifully executed! Low full toss well outside off, Sharma knows that short third man is inside the circle. He maneuvers the field and gets it past the right side of the fielder to find the third man fence.
Trent Boult to Rohit Sharma. Wide! Boult goes for the slower one but it goes awry. It is way outside off and Sharma has nothing to do with it.
Trent Boult to Hardik Pandya. Length ball on leg stump, tucked with a closed bat face in front of square leg. A run taken. 100 up for Mumbai, they need 75 more from 47.

Jason Roy is giving an interview to Kevin Pietersen. Admits that it has been a frustrating season for Delhi and himself. On his own form, he says that he got a niggle, hence was out of the side. On his biggest learning from this season, he says that he has understood the art of spending time in the middle. Says that he is going back home tonight and hopes that he is picked up by Surrey to play for them in the next game against Middlesex. If not, he says he will spend time improving his performance in golf.

Hardik Pandya comes in now, to replace his brother.
Sandeep Lamichhane to Krunal Pandya. OUT! Second wicket in the over! Lamichhane does a half Tahir. Does not quite run around the ground but does half a marathon nevertheless. This was faster than the previous one, Pandya just pushed it towards cover. Failed to keep it down and the substitute Rahul Tewatia took a straightforward chance. Half the side back in the hut.
Sandeep Lamichhane to Krunal Pandya. A terrific googly, pitched on middle, Krunal lunges to defend but is beaten by the away spin.
Sandeep Lamichhane to Krunal Pandya. FOUR! Not a bad start. Full and down the leg side, Pandya sweeps this powerfully through fine leg. The fielder rushes to his left and dives but in vain.
Krunal Pandya walks in at number 6, replacing Pollard.
Sandeep Lamichhane to Kieron Pollard. OUT! An Aussie joins hands with a Kiwi to dismiss a West Indian and grab a wicket for an Indian side! What a catch. Simply superb. First the ball. A tossed up one, around leg stump. It entices Pollard to go big and the big man accepts the challenge. He steps away to the leg side and looks to go big. Seems like he has cleared long on but well - not Max. Glenn Maxwell at long on leaps to his left, takes the catch but then realizes that he is losing balance with the ropes close to him. Immediately throws the ball to Trent Boult running across from long off and the catch is taken! Pollard walks back with a bemused look while Boult and Maxi celebrate! Now the entire Kotla erupts after seeing the replays - the big man is gone. Both West Indians gone in the space of 2 balls...
Is that a catch? Is that a six? Is it a ball which does not fetch a wicket? Kieron Pollard is walking but the umpire wants to confirm. Referred upstairs...
Sandeep Lamichhane on to bowl as well...
Rohit Sharma does come out to bat now, at number 5, replacing Lewis.
Amit Mishra to Evin Lewis. OUT! Gone, stumped! Lewis is out of here and Mishra has his second. He has prized out his victim. He was desperate to have Kieron Pollard on strike as the latter was not picking him but he has got the big wicket of Lewis. It is the wrong 'un and Lewis comes down the track and looks to go big. He misses but Pant doesn't. Whips off the bails in a flash. Mishra's figures read 2-0-12-2!!!
Amit Mishra to Evin Lewis. SIX! THUMP! What a controlled shot. Full and around leg, Lewis gets down and sweeps it over square leg. The ball lands flat on the advertisement boards beyond the ropes but the umpire is not sure. He has it checked and replays confirm that it is a biggie.
Amit Mishra to Kieron Pollard. Full and fired outside leg, flicked towards deep mid-wicket for a run.
Amit Mishra to Evin Lewis. Comes down the track and hammers it down to long off for a single.

Liam Plunkett to Evin Lewis. The batsman flicks it away with a wristy shot. One run added to the total.
Oh dear... Lewis is bleeding. It was Rishabh Pant who signalled for the physio towards the Mumbai dugout. Looks like the vizor has cut through his left cheek. Hopefully, he is fine...
Liam Plunkett to Evin Lewis. ON THE HELMET! A short ball, slower in pace, Lewis looks to pull but is way too early into the shot. Gets hit on the back of the helmet and seems like is in a bit of pain.
Liam Plunkett to Kieron Pollard. DROPPED! But what an effort... Full and outside off, Pollard slices it towards point where Abhishek Sharma throws himself to his left and nearly does a Ricky Ponting - both feet in the air and flying like a bird - only unable to snatch the prey. The ball deflects towards third man and the batsmen take a run.
Liam Plunkett to Evin Lewis. A short ball, pulled towards backward square leg for a single.

Amit Mishra to Kieron Pollard. DROPPED! Shaw is the culprit now. A tossed up ball outside off, Pollard looks to swing hard but the away turn induces an outside edge. The ball goes to first slip where Prithvi Shaw leaps prematurely and the ball bursts through his palms behind. Short third man mops it up and the batsmen take three.
Amit Mishra to Kieron Pollard. Another ripper, the wrong 'un, outside off, Kieron looks to push but misses.
Amit Mishra to Kieron Pollard. The googly, on middle, Pollard looks to flick but misses and is hit on the pads.
Kieron Pollard at number 4? Wow. Rohit has his plan set. Attack the leggie.
Amit Mishra to Ishan Kishan. OUT! Nearly a six! Nearly a drop! But it is nicely picked in the end! Vijay Shankar is the man. He dropped an easier one of Lewis (which might cost him the match) but has taken two breathtaking catches. Floated on middle and leg, Kishan straightaway is down the track. Wants to go over the leg side but the ball hits the lower part of the bat. Hence, he does not get enough elevation. The ball goes flat towards wide long on where Vijay Shankar steadies himself, takes the catch, then loses balance. Almost crosses over but he hops once, twice and thrice and in the final hop, stays inside and balances himself. Mishra is happy but Kishan will feel a bit unlucky there.
Expect a barricade of spin now. Amit Mishra to bowl the first over after the Powerplay...
A break taken early in this innings. Mumbai have started exactly as they wanted to - well not entirely but 57 in the Powerplay is the right way to go on this pitch. With 118 needed from 84 balls, they can have the run chase in control by keeping wickets in hand...
Liam Plunkett to Ishan Kishan. A short ball outside off, Kishan comes down the track and slaps it down the ground. The fielder collects at mid off and has a shy at the bowler's end. I am not the ophthalmologist's best friend but my eyes tell me that a direct hit could have got Kishan there....

Liam Plunkett to bowl the final over of the Powerplay.
Glenn Maxwell to Evin Lewis. SIX! Well, this one has bounced over the ropes!!! What an over - 16 from this one, 33 off the last 2! Mumbai are back in this. Flighted outside off, Lewis comes down the track and sends it sailing over long off! Well, that might be the end of Maxwell with the ball for the tournament...
Glenn Maxwell to Evin Lewis. FOUR! Not this time! A long hop again, this time Lewis swivels and pulls it over square leg! Has it gone the distance? The umpires refer it upstairs and replays show that it has just bounced before crossing over.
Glenn Maxwell to Evin Lewis. Again. Short and outside off, slapped straight to cover.
Glenn Maxwell to Evin Lewis. Short and outside off, gets away with that, does Maxwell. It is crunched straight to cover.
Glenn Maxwell to Evin Lewis. SIX! Akash Chopra's words are ringing in my ears - 'In a T20 game, you get away by bringing on your part-timer for one over in the Powerplay. If you give him a second over, then almighty save you.' Iyer has taken a big risk by giving this over to Maxwell and Lewis has pounced. A tossed up ball outside off, Lewis comes down the track and sends it sailing over long off!
Glenn Maxwell to Evin Lewis. Full and around off, pushed to the off side. Kishan wants a single but is sent back. He dives and just about gets in. Maxwell is not happy with the throw he gets. Hits the stumps in disdain. The match referee might have a look at that after the game...
Harshal Patel to Evin Lewis. Outside off, this is lofted over covers but there is protection in the deep. Just a single. 17 from the over!
Harshal Patel to Evin Lewis. SIX! THRASH! A short ball, on middle and Lewis deposits this into the stands at mid-wicket!

Harshal Patel to Ishan Kishan. Outside off, steered to third man for a single.
Harshal Patel to Evin Lewis. CATCH IT! Dropped. CHANCE OF A RUN OUT? Missed. What an example of showing how to get out twice on the same ball but still being lucky. Full and outside off, Lewis slashes it straight to cover. Vijay Shankar is in the firing line but shells it. The batsmen take a late decision to go for the single and now Shreyas Iyer at extra cover takes the ball. Has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Lewis had already given up. 3000 T20 runs for the Windies batsman.
Harshal Patel to Evin Lewis. FOUR! Welcome into the attack! A half volley outside off, Lewis blasts it through the covers and gets a boundary!
4th bowler in 4 overs. Was Man Of the match in the previous game. Who is he? Who is he? Harshal Patel into the attack.

Glenn Maxwell now. Adventurous? Brave? Clever? We shall see.
Trent Boult to Ishan Kishan. Short and outside off, Ishan looks to cut but is too close to the ball for cutting. Misses. Just a run from that over.
Meanwhile, some good news for Mumbai fans as Rohit Sharma gets ready to come in next - if a wicket falls. The fall he had in the first innings was very nasty.

Sandeep Lamichhane to Evin Lewis. On middle and leg, worked through mid-wicket for a single.
Ishan Kishan walks in at number 3, replacing Suryakumar.
Sandeep Lamichhane to Suryakumar Yadav. OUT! The bowler has the last laugh! Not the best of balls but not the best of shots either. Suryakumar goes back and tries to whip it over the leg side but hits it in the air, with lesser power. For a second, it seems like the ball is landing in no man's land but Vijay Shankar comes running in from long on and takes a very good catch! A rare failure for Surya - body blow for Mumbai.
Sandeep Lamichhane to Suryakumar Yadav. In the air... but over the infield. Tossed up outside off, a bit of pace taken away, Surya looks to go inside out but mistimes it in the air. Two fielders run back from cover but neither get to it. The ball lands safely and the batsmen take a couple.
Sandeep Lamichhane to Suryakumar Yadav. SIX! More poor stuff from the bowler. Short ball again, down the leg side and Yadav pulls it over backward square leg. 165 more needed from 118 balls. What is next?
Sandeep Lamichhane to Suryakumar Yadav. FOUR! A rank bad ball to start the innings. A long hop, could have been hit anywhere. Surya picks his spot and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary.
Welcome back. The players are already back on the field. Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis are the openers for Mumbai while Sandeep Lamichhane will start off proceedings with the new ball. Surya on strike.
