IPL 2016 MATCH 54: GUJARAT LIONS BEAT MUMBAI INDIANS BY 6 WICKETS

The last of this season's double-header is tomorrow, the first between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, and the clash between Royal Challengers and Delhi Daredevils to follow. Do tune in tomorrow for the same. Till then, it is a goodbye from Manish, Kislaya and Aadya.

Raina: "I think I have learned a lot from Kanpur, and I want to thank the fans here. God has been really kind, and the credit goes to the supporting staff along with all the senior players. I have worked with all the CSK players. Being part of a new franchise, I think we had to enjoy the T20 and we worked hard as a unit to do that. Me and Baz did well upfront today, and we bowled really well to restrict them below 180."

SURESH RAINA is the MAN OF THE MATCH.

The Gujarat Lions were jolted early in their chase with the wicket of Aaron Finch. Suresh Raina continued from where he had left the other night, and joined forces with a belligerent Brendon McCullum to bring the chase back on track. Their partnership set up a platform which helped Dwayne Smith finish off the chase with 13 balls to spare. The Mumbai bowlers were all over the place, and couldn't get the length and line right for the most part. The Gujarat batsmen lapped up the poor bowling, and the chase became a cakewalk in the last five.

17.5 McClenaghan to Jadeja, 1 run, GUJARAT WINS! They are in the playoffs.

17.4 McClenaghan to Jadeja, FOUR, full ball on off, driven to Guptill at sweeper cover who misfields!

17.3 McClenaghan to Jadeja, no run, fast banged in, Jadeja lets it go.

17.2 McClenaghan to Jadeja, no run, length ball on off, dabbed to point.

17.1 McClenaghan to Smith, 1 run, full ball on off, guided to sweeper cover.

McClenaghan...

6 runs from 18 balls. Mere formality.

16.4 Bumrah to Jadeja, 1 run, ball on off, guided to third man.

16.3 Bumrah to Jadeja, FOUR, slower length ball but that is on the pads, Jadeja has to just get it past short fine leg! Bumrah has been all over the place with his line today. That is the last ball to bowl with the fine leg in the circle.

16.2 Bumrah to Jadeja, 2 runs, slower ball is nudged to short fine leg. RUN OUT appeal. An overthrow results and they scamper back for a second, he his in is Smith as the bails are dislodged.

Bumrah to bowl the 17th.

With 10 runs off the last over, the equation has been reduced further. They now need 16 from the last four.

And that's time-out...

15.6 Hardik to Jadeja, no run, length ball is driven to short cover.

15.5 Hardik to Jadeja, FOUR, length ball on off, lofted over mid-on using the bottom hand!

15.4 Hardik to Jadeja, no run, down the track to a length ball and swatted to mid-off.

15.4 Hardik to Jadeja, 1 WIDE, sails over Jadeja.

15.3 Hardik to Smith, 1 run, length ball is slogged to deep mid-wicket.

15.2 Hardik to Smith, no run, massive slog and is beaten.

15.1 Hardik to Smith, FOUR, down the track to a length ball and smacks it through at mid-off! He delivers a length ball first up and is drilled past him.

Hardik Pandya introduced...

26 runs from 30 balls. Cakewalk from here. Smith might even end it early for Net Run Rate's sake.

14.6 McClenaghan to Jadeja, FOUR, full ball on off, Jadeja looks to drive it through covers, gets the bottom of the bat past mid-wicket!

14.5 McClenaghan to Smith, 1 run, Smith looks to scoop it over, gets the bottom edge on the pads and that ball balloons up.

Smith doesn't care what's happening at the other end of the crease. He'll just keep hitting! #IPL #GLvMI

13.5 Harbhajan to Smith, FOUR, and now he bowls a short ball which is crunched through covers!

13.2 Harbhajan to Jadeja, no run, full ball, defended by Jadeja.

13.1 Harbhajan to Jadeja, no run, ball on the pads, played to short mid-wicket.

Stroke Raina might live to regret. Run rate below 7, why try anything fancy? Gujarat lost their best batsman, Mumbai have their best chance

47 from 42 balls from here.
