Match Analysis

Asked to bat, Lucknow posted a big total of 214 for six, in response, Mumbai managed 196 for six.  

Lucknow didn’t have a great start to their innings as Devdutt Padikkal’s torrid run in the league continued and he went back for a two-ball duck. After that skipper KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis (28:22b, 5x4) brought the team back into the game with their 48-run stand.

Soon after that,  Deepak Hooda perished as Lucknow was left tottering at 69 for three. Nicholas Pooran (75:29b, 5x4, 8x6) changed the course of the game for his team. Pooran batted aggressively and along with Rahul (55:41b, 3x4, 3x6) added 109 runs. In the end, Ayush Badoni (22 not out:10b, 1x4, 2x6) played a brutal hand as Lucknow posted a total of 214 for six.

For Mumbai, Nuwan Thushara and Piyush Chawla picked three wickets each. 

Mumbai Indians were off to a dream start with the bat, thanks to Rohit Sharma (68:38b, 10x4, 3x6). Sharma gave a brutal start to the team and was well supported by Dewald Brevis (23:20b, 1x4, 2x6) as the duo added 88 runs for the opening partnership.

But after that, Mumbai lost three quick wickets and were left tottering at 97 for three. Skipper Hardik Pandya (16:13b, 1x4, 1x6) and Ishan Kishan (14:15b, 1x4) struggled to get going. Naman Dhir (62 not out28b, 4x4, 5x6) kept Mumbai in the hunt with his brutal half-century but couldn’t take his team home as Mumbai fell short by 18 runs.
