Analysis

Commentary

Right, MI are looking more formidable than ever and are rising in the points table too! PBKS need to look at their bowling, which has not fired in the past couple of games now. Looking at the larger picture though, both sides are caught in the middle muddle. Some scintillating hitting today and it has definitely left us entertained! Well, that's all that we have for you from this game! Join us back tomorrow for some exciting action as KKR lock horns with SRH. Until we meet again then, this is the duo of Pratyush Rohra and Maanas Upadhyay bidding you adieu! Good night!

Ishan Kishan is the Player of the Match. Here is what he has to say: The wicket was too good to bat on. I kept for 20 overs, so I knew how the wicket was playing. When you're chasing such a total, you need to show intent from the start and I was connecting well throughout. (Plans) They were swinging the ball pretty well and the keeper wasn't up to the wickets, so I knew I could step out. That was the clear plan and the message from the coach too. Stick to your plans and you'll get the best out of your game. (Fielders in the deep) I think it doesn't matter when you're chasing 215. You don't want to take the game to the last over. My game is to finish the game as soon as possible because you never know what happens. (Power game) Fitness is very important. There are so many senior players who have set examples for us. It's important is how you eat at home, so credit goes to my mom too.

Rohit Sharma: (On whether the T20 format has changed since 2006) Definitely! When we started T20 format, 140, 150 was a winning score. We are in a different generation now. One extra batter makes a huge difference to the team. Not only for our team but for all teams. The average score in the IPL this year has been 180. If the teams are getting 200, it's pretty chasuble. He (SKY) has been doing it for a couple of years now. That's his strength - to play behind the wicket - and he utilised it well. Ishan and SKY played good innings for us. And good finish there by Tim and Tilak. We spoke before the season how we wanted to play our cricket. We wanted to go out there and play fearlessly and not think about the result. This time we said from the start that we want to go out there and express ourselves. We might lose a game but this is how we want to do. He (Ishan) is a little man but he has a lot of power. It's all about what he does off the field and it comes out on the field. Good to see him get those runs for us. It is something that we need to look at, certain options we need to take in the middle overs, we need to finish the overs. It's been three or four overs when we have conceded over 200. It's important to handle the pressure and execute what you feel is best when the opposition is playing with eight batters.

Suryakumar Yadav (Mumbai Indians): Really happy that we ended up on the winning side but at the same time, I felt like I should have finished the game again. (Game plan during the chase) It was clear that we have to bat with positive intent and it was important to back Kishan from the other end because he was playing so well. So, those things came off and I enjoyed that. I always prepare for these situations. If I have to get 12 or 15 runs an over, I'm sitting outside and working out all these plans. So, that is done before I go in the middle. (Picking bowlers to target) I haven't thought about attacking bowlers unless it's the 17th-18th over. Ishan was batting really well from one end, so the idea was to support him from the other end. We reversed our roles tonight. I don't have the power game, I like to hit the gap and play the field. Really happy with the way things went and really happy that the partnership ended in a winning cause.

Shikhar Dhawan: We started off quite well and thought it was a very good total. Unfortunately, we couldn't defend it. Rishi bowled really well at the start but other than that we gave quite a few deliveries outside off. Later on, Surya and Ishan took the game away. We could have been a bit more tight and proactive. (Picking Ellis over Rabada) We saw the pitch and thought the change of pace will work a lot. Nathan bowled really well, his changes worked well but the others didn't step up. (Spinners) I thought about it but because there was dew, so I backed my main bowlers to deliver. Unfortunately, they didn't today.

Mumbai Indians had failed to chase this very target at Wankhede against this very opposition, but tonight's a different night! They've come out all guns blazing and exacted revenge, winning this match and winning it clinically! Was always going to be a difficult ask, with 215 runs to get but the MI batters have put their hands up once again. They are starting to seem like one of the most dangerous batting sides in the tournament!

They didn't get off to the best of starts as skipper Rohit Sharma departed early. Green and Kishan put up a scratchy partnership for the third wicket which kept MI in the hunt. However, Mumbai Indians got ahead in the contest after the fall of Green's wicket. It was MI's ever-dependable duo in SKY and Kishan who stitched up a 116-run partnership for the third wicket and in quick time too! They were simply exceptional!

SKY smacked it all across the park as he raced to his 66 runs while Kishan kept chipping in with some lusty blows of his own. An unfortunate end to that partnership brought about the wicket of SKY and Kishan followed in the next over too! However, the finishers in Tilak and Tim David did not allow Punjab to sneak back into the contest, finishing the game off comprehensively with an over and a ball to spare!

The Punjab bowlers were clueless tonight, with Arshdeep conceding 66 runs off his 3.5 overs and Sam Curran going for 41 runs in three overs! The spinners could not find any purchase off this track and it just goes on to show how well Piyush Chawla bowled in the first innings. MI overtake PBKS in the points table and are certainly increasing the competition for the playoffs!

18.5 Arshdeep Singh to Tilak Varma, TOWERING SIX TO PUT A STAMP OF AUTHORITY ON THIS CHASE! It was in the slot for Tilak and his eyes lit up as he cleared his front leg to clobber it down the ground to seal the deal. Mumbai Indians win by 6 wickets with 7 balls to spare!

MI just one big hit away now! Can Tilak finish it off in style?

18.4 Arshdeep Singh to Tilak Varma, low full toss angled into the pads. Tilak whips it to deep backward square leg and hustles back for the second run. Can MI finish it off with an over to spare?

18.3 Arshdeep Singh to Tilak Varma, follows the batter and nails the yorker like he usually does. Tilak jams it out into the leg side but David isn't interested in the tight single, no run

18.2 Arshdeep Singh to Tim David, sharp bouncer around the front shoulder. David controls his swat quite well for a single at deep square leg

These are already Arshdeep Singh's most expensive figures in the IPL. All with five deliveries remaining!

18.1 Arshdeep Singh to Tim David, FOUR! It doesn't matter how they come at this stage. MI will take it with both hands though. Pitched up wide outside the off-stump, David slashes at it and slices a thick outside edge that loops over short third man to race away

Quite a pretty decent over by Sam Curran as he concedes just 9 runs off it. However, with the game being in this position, it has perhaps not helped matters. The batters are pretty content with scoring one boundary and knocking the remaining deliveries around for singles. Can MI finish it off in this over itself?

17.6 Sam Curran to Tim David, short of a length outside the off-stump. David tries to take on the pull which eventually comes off the inside splice, allowing a single down the ground

17.5 Sam Curran to Tilak Varma, low full toss as Tilak steps out on this attempted yorker. Worked to deep mid-wicket for another single

17.4 Sam Curran to Tim David, digs it in short with the skiddy bouncer. David swats it to deep mid-wicket for a single

17.3 Sam Curran to Tilak Varma, slower one at the hard length on the fourth stump. Tilak chops it to deep point for one

17.2 Sam Curran to Tim David, CHANCE! Pitched up on the off-stump line, holding in the surface a bit. David chips it down the ground and Curran did well to stick out a hand, parrying it into the off-side to allow a single. Harsh to call that a drop
