  • Umran Malik4-0-48-1

7.58pm Mumbai Indians know what to do. Bowl Sunrisers Hyderabad for 65 (or below), and you're through to the playoffs. Otherwise, this amazing batting performance will go in vain. What a spectacle: Ishan Kishan with the brute power, Suryakumar Yadav with the finesse. Together they scored 166 in 12 overs to power Mumbai to their highest IPL score. A forgettable bowling performance for the Sunrisers, but this season has been like that for them. Holder's four for the only bright spot.

Ishan Kishan: "Thank you for the appreciation. Intent was key. We knew we had to score around 250+. I know its not easy but the plan is simple. We just wanted to play our shots, we couldn't be selfish. Cricket is a funny game."

Holder to Bumrah, FOUR, full outside off. Bumrah looks to swing this over the bowler but the outside edge takes it beyond short third man instead!

Also four wickets for Holder.

Holder to Yadav, OUT, fifth catch for Nabi - first time in IPL that someone has taken five! Slower ball, back of the hand, full outside off. Surya swings leg side, and mistimed to the man in the deep. Top innings from SKY, most probably his last before the T20 World Cup gets underway. Applause from the dugout and fans as he walks out with the bat raised high

SA Yadav c Mohammad Nabi b Holder 82 (65m 40b 13x4 3x6) SR: 205.00

Holder to Yadav, no run, short ball outside off. Suryakumar reaches out to ramp it over the keeper but can't connect. Surya thinks it should be a wide, the front-on umpire probably thinks so too, but the square umpire doesn't feel so, and is therefore considered a legal ball

Kumar: "Stat Alert followup! Their previous high of 223/6 , they lost that match!"

19.2
0
Holder to Yadav, no run, Suryakumar is back on strike. Full on off stump, but slower this time. Tries to nudge a paddle sweep fine but can't get bat on ball

Stat alert: 29 fours by Mumbai so far. The highest any team hit in an IPL innings is 31 by Delhi Daredevils in 2017 vs Gujarat Lions.

Rahil: "Why? Why Rajasthan? Could you not have score 30 more runs yesterday? "

Holder to Chawla, OUT, taken at long on as Chawla is out for a duck. Full and wide outside off. Chawla goes for a big shot down the ground. Mistimed, and Samad won't drop them on the boundary line

PP Chawla c Abdul Samad b Holder 0 (16m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Umran Malik to Yadav, no run, length blal just outside off, and fended back to Umran. An expensive end to his debut IPL season, but what potential in him for next season!

Stat alert: Umran Malik (152.95kph) holds the record for the fastest ball in IPL 2021.

Amey: "Last night RR were 7 for 48 ,, so this can happen tonight as well with the kind of bowlers mumbai has."

Ram : "Has anyone considered the possibility that SRH will chase this total and win???"

Umran Malik to Yadav, no run, off the helmet! Malik is fast so the fielders are just checking on SKY. Back of a length outside off. Suryakumar goes across to the off side to play a shot, but missed. Hit the back of the head after coming off his arm. Physio is checking on him for the concussion test

Umran Malik to Yadav, FOUR, full outside off. SKY changes his stance, gets some bat to reverse sweep, and hits it just wide of Wriddhiman Saha!

Gullycricketer: "Why is Williamson not playing today by the way?" -- Manish Pandey said Williamson is nursing a "niggle." With the World T20 just a week or so away, you can understand why teams don't want to take chances with top players.

Umran Malik to Yadav, no run, full just outside off. Clears the front leg to loft it over cover. Misses the connection as he is beaten by the pace. 144kph

Holder to Chawla, no run, around the stumps again. Short ball outside off. Chawla sticks the bat out to poke at it. Misses

KP: "@Sreshth - Common on man! You've not been posting my nearly prophetic comments for the past 7 overs. Please allow these contrarian views.A depleted and demoralised SRH batting(which traditionally isn't a strong suit for the team) without Warner or Williamson to anchor the innings, I believe SRH getting all out under 70-75 is a scenario of real and sizeable probability. The most experienced players for the T20 team are Pandey and Saha. KKR should wait to celebrate"

Holder to Yadav, 1 run, back of a length, slower ball. Tries to pull, but off the bat's top half. In the air, but well short of the fielder at deep square leg who was running in

Holder to Yadav, SIX, full and wide as Holder goes over the stumps. Suryakumar walks across to the off side and then crunches a six over Holder with such ease!
17.3

Holder to Yadav, FOUR, full toss, on his waist, and comfortably flicked over the square-leg umpire for four. Great use of the wrists over again

Piyush Chawla, making his Mumbai Indians, debut. At the non-striker's end. Remember he once hit the winning runs in an IPL final for Kolkata Knight Riders. Its also his 250th game

Damo: "This is what happens when you have - DO or DIE, you have to DO it rather quit. I really appreciate if this MI innings ends in a win which can be an inspiration to many who are pushed to corner. "

Holder to Coulter-Nile, OUT, full outside off from around stumps. Coulter-Nile swings leg side, poor timing off the bat, and Nabi at deep midwicket takes an easy one

Holder to Coulter-Nile, 2 runs, full toss just outside off as Holder comes around the stumps. Toe ends a slog in the air, and Garg at long on drops it!

Animesh Kherwar: "That RR vs MI match has to be among the best IPL matches of all time. Mumbai really going all guns out, missing the targeted over but qualifying by hitting a six, Rahul Dravid losing his calm. It had all. Perhaps only two matches that come close are the two finals that Mumbai won by 1 runs." -- Corey Anderson's innings with the bat that day was ranked #9 by ESPNcricinfo last year while ranking the greatest IPL performances. Here's the full list.

Kaul to Yadav, FOUR, gets under the ball! Full on middle, and he clubs an up-and-over four to long off. Fifty for the India and Mumbai batter

Richard Peck: "Please elaborate on wht happend, why did dravid throw his cap " -- Mumbai won the last league game against Rajasthan Royals in 14.4 balls, and knocked their opponents out while qualifying themselves in 2014. That did not please Rahul Dravid (then with the Royals) one bit.

Meanwhile, the Indian women's chess team made history this week by becoming the first ever Indian team - male or female - to win a silver medal at the World Teams Championships in Spain. It's a moment of vindication after a long wait, filled with many hardships and heartbreaks.
