Batting first, Mumbai Indians have scored 159 runs. This is no less than a do or die match for Mumbai, because if they lose today, their playoff hopes will be dealt a huge blow. There was very strong bowling from CSK. Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmed and Jamie Overton bowled tightly and did not give MI batsmen a chance to open their hands.
Mumbai is in bad shape again
Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bat first. At the time of the toss, Hardik had said like every time that the team will enter the field with the intention of performing well, but the batsmen proved that claim completely wrong. Naman Dhir scored 57 runs in 37 balls and Ryan Rickleton contributed 37 runs. Apart from him, no Mumbai batsman could score big.
The MI team is also in danger because if they lose today, their playoff hopes will be dealt a blow. If Mumbai loses today, it will have only 4 points in 9 matches. After that, if Mumbai wins all the next 5 matches then it will be able to get 14 points. By getting 14 points, its place in the playoffs will not be completely safe. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya once again proved to be flops. Suryakumar was out after scoring 21 runs and Hardik was out after scoring 18 runs.
CSK’s magic
Chennai Super Kings do not have Khalil Ahmed, yet Anshul Kamboj and Jamie Overton have troubled the opposition batsmen. Both of them dismissed four Mumbai batsmen. Anshul took 3 wickets for 32 runs in 4 overs, while Overton got only one success, but he gave only 23 runs in the spell of 4 overs. Apart from them, Noor Ahmed, Mukesh Chaudhary and Ramakrishna Ghosh also won the hearts of the fans with their strong bowling.
