Kaul comes back to bowl his last of the evening. He gets the first delivery to rise, Bumrah gets an edge to it and the ball flies just wide of Dhawan who is positioned at wide slip. Dhawan flies to his right but only gets his fingertips to it. What a catch that would have been.
CAUGHT! The pressure was building on Hardik who played out the maiden over. He goes for the big one but is only able to slice it up for Thampi to take a catch at third man. Bumrah swings at the next delivery which is bowled short and sends it for a four. Mumbai need 34 runs to win from 12 balls.
MI 85/9 after 18 overs
WICKET! Hardik Pandya c Thampi b Kaul 3 (19)
Rashid Khan comes back to bowl his last over. Hardik Pandya is completely unable to play the tricky spinner as Khan ends his spell with a maiden over. That was some special bowling by Rashid. MI now need 39 from 18 balls to win.
MI 80/8 after 17 overs
Kaul comes back to bowl his 3rd. OUT! He bowls a fuller delivery and traps McClenaghan who looks to play it down the leg side but misses. The ball hits his pad and the Umpire declares out but McClenaghan reviews the decision. Replays show the ball hitting the stumps and McClenaghan has to depart for a duck.
Kaul isn’t done though as he then dismisses Markande with a similar fuller delivery which the young spinner does not spot in time. The ball hits him full on the pads and the Umpire immediately raises his finger. What an over for SRH.
MI 80/8 after 16 overs
WICKET! Markande lbw b Kaul 1 (2)
WICKET! McClenaghan lbw b Kaul 0 (2)
Basil Thampi to bowl his first over in the IPL and makes a big breakthrough for the Sunrisers getting the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav the in-form man for MI. Yadav looks to play him out of the ground as he went for the pull shot but only picks out Rashid Khan at deep square. McClenaghan is the new man in as Mumbai require 42 runs from 30 balls to win now.
MI 77/6 after 15 overs
WICKET! Suryakumar Yadav c Rashid b Thampi 34 (38)
Rashid strikes early again. Sends in a short slider outside the off stump, Pollard looks to cut it but only guides the ball towards Dhawan at slip who dives low to his right to take a good catch. Hardik Pandya is the new man in. Great over by Rashid, just 2 runs and the wicket coming off it.
MI 75/5 after 14 overs
WICKET! Pollard c Dhawan b Rashid 9 (6)
Shakib continues with his 3rd. Pollard blocks the first one and then smashes the next one over long on for a massive SIX. Big over for Mumbai as they get 11 runs in it. MI now require 46 runs from 42 balls to win.
MI 73/4 after 13 overs
Rashid continues his spell. Two pronged spin attack adopted by Williamson now. DROPPED! Yadav plays the 2nd delivery straight back towards the bowler but Rashid does not get down quick enough as the ball slips through his fingers. Krunal then sends the next delivery to the backward point boundary for a four.
Rashid then hits Krunal on his back foot, the appeals for LBW are turned down but SRH review the decision. No inside edge and replays reveal the ball was going on to hit the stumps. Decision is overturned as Pandya has to return to the dugout.
MI 62/4 after 12 overs
WICKET! Krunal lbw b Rashid 24 (20)
Shakib comes back to bowl his 2nd. The MI batsmen seem wary to attack the deceptive spinner. He ends the over well conceding just 3 runs in it.

Rashid Khan comes into the attack. He starts well with 4 consecutive dot balls. Ends the over well giving away just 2 runs in it. MI need 67 runs from 60 balls to win.
MI 52/3 after 10 overs
Kaul to bowl his 2nd. Krunal picks up the overpitched delivery and plays a beautiful cover drive for a four off the first delivery. Kaul responds well with 3 dots but Krunal then sends the 4th delivery through mid-on for another four. He then follows this up to grab his 3rd boundary of the over this time sending the ball straight down the ground. Another good over for Mumbai as they bring up 50 on the scoreboard.
MI 50/3 after 9 overs
Nabi resumes his spell. Williamson going with a combination of spin and seam. Suryakumar Yadav is the danger man here as he stays back in his crease and guides the ball towards the third man boundary with an open bat for a four. He then follows this up with another four this time punching it through the cover region. Good over for Mumbai with 12 runs coming off it.
MI 38/3 after 8 overs
Kaul comes into the attack. Good start by him giving away just 4 runs in the over. MI now need from 93 runs from 78 balls to win.
MI 26/3 after 7 overs
Shakib comes into the attack and makes the breakthrough Williamson wanted. He lobs one up for Rohit who tries to play a drive through cover. The ball spins away and an edge carries the ball to Dhawan at slip. Good thinking by Williamson as the MI skipper has to depart early.
Great over for SRH, 2 runs and a wicket coming off it.
MI 22/3 after 6 overs
WICKET! Rohit c Dhawan b Shakib 2 (6)
Sandeep Sharma to bowl his 3rd. Williamson is looking to add to the early wickets here. He doesn’t get any more wickets in the over but gives away just 3 runs in it. Good start for SRH.
MI 20/2 after 5 overs
Nabi bowls his 2nd. Starts with 2 dot balls but Yadav picks up the 3rd bowled a bit short to send it through mid-off for a boundary. Thampi is slow to cover his ground as the ball zips past him.
CAUGHT! Nabi gets the breakthrough on his last delivery. Floats one at off stump and Kishan steps out and tries to play it down the ground but is beaten by the flight of the ball and has to depart for a duck
