Player of the Match

Kieron Pollard

47(20)

Right then! We have had a pretty one-sided game as Mumbai have been dominant and have not let Punjab crawl back into the game at any point. Mumbai have played well and they will look to take this forward when they play their next game in Sharjah and Punjab will be disappointed as they have played well but have just won one single game out of their three games and they will want to bounce back in their next encounter. The action continues on Friday, 2nd October 2020 as Chennai and Hyderabad will battle it out and it will begin at 1930 IST. Until then, take care and cheers!

The Man of the Match is Kieron Pollard. He starts off by saying that it feels good and they were on the losing side last game and so they wanted to come out and be on the right side of the result. Adds that he tries to pick his bowlers and try to look for 15 runs and more and he looks to go hard. Praises Hardik Pandya as it is good to see him strike the ball well and he had to come out today and swing and he showed his prowess. Talking about their next game in Sharjah, he says that the boundaries are small and they are looking forward to it but they will have to come out and execute with the ball really well. Wants to focus on the next game and try to gain 2 points for the team.

Rohit Sharma says it is a great win, they did not start well but they knew they could make up at the back end. They did most of the things right, not initially but overall. States Pollard and Pandya back themselves to score quickly towards the end and it is good to have them in form. Further adds they have a balanced side and they are happy with the way they are playing. Also says they needed early wickets, they had plans and they did well to execute it. Ends by saying there was no execution in the last game, they had a discussion, they had a different plan as it was a different opposition and it went well.

Mayank Agarwal is in for a chat! Starts off by saying that he and Rahul are not competing against each other for the Orange cap and they are just looking to play good cricket and help the team. Adds that runs in the international circuit have given him confidence and he has worked in the lockdown on improving his T20 game. States that he is hitting the ball very well and his thought is to get into good positions.

The skipper of Punjab, KL Rahul starts off by saying that it is disappointing that they haven't won more games and thinks that this is one of those games where they haven't bowled or batted well and it is important to come back stronger. States that the wicket looked good with the new ball and he is not sure if it slowed up after that. Says that it is important to carry on their form. Adds that it would have been great to have an all rounder who bats and bowls well. Says that he has to sit with the coaching staff and decide if they want to field an extra bowler. On his orange cap battle with Mayank Agarwal, he says that he will be happy as long as the cap stays in the team of Punjab and adds that Agarwal has worked hard and he deserves the cap but that he will take it off him very soon.

The Mumbai bowing was too good! The first three overs weren't that great but after that, they were brilliant. Bumrah, Krunal, Chahar and Pattinson really had an impressive night. Overall, they were excellent and can be really pleased with their team effort.

Jasprit Bumrah To Krishnappa Gowtham

Another yorker to end the game as Goutham plays this to the deep cover region for just a single. MUMBAI WIN BY 48 RUNS!

19.5

Jasprit Bumrah To Krishnappa Gowtham

Great yorker around off, Goutham looks to dig this one out but does not connect bat with ball on this occasion.

19.4

Jasprit Bumrah To Krishnappa Gowtham

Full length ball around off and middle, Goutham scoops this one towards the backward square leg region and the batters will run back for the second run.

A thumping win for Mumbai then! To be honest, it is their batters who set it up. Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard and a cameo from Pandya meant they finished with a total which was well above par and chasing that, Punjab needed a good start but they did not get one. Also, they kept losing wickets after that on regular intervals. Someone from the top four needed to go big but that was not the case. Pooran did seem like he was finding his touch but departed when his team needed him to continue. Maxwell also has not been at his best in this tournament. Can't blame Neesham, Sarfaraz or the others as by the time they came in, the target was almost out of reach.

19.3

Jasprit Bumrah To Krishnappa Gowtham

FOUR! Goes over the top! Cheeky stuff from Goutham! He changes his shape as he notices this is short and he guides it over the keeper's head into the third man fence for four runs.

19.2

Jasprit Bumrah To Krishnappa Gowtham

A full toss around middle, Goutham works it towards the fielder at covers.

19.1

Jasprit Bumrah To Mohammed Shami

Shorter and on the body, Shami looks to pull but misses. It hits the body and rolls towards fine leg for one.

Trent Boult To Krishnappa Gowtham

SIX! Goutham gets a hold of this one! It is a good stroke! Boult went for the full ball outside off, Goutham looks for the big one and hammers it over the long off region and it just goes by Pollard in the deep to fetch Punjab six runs.

18.5

Trent Boult To Krishnappa Gowtham

FOUR! Boult goes for a wide slower ball and Goutham looks to hammer this one but it comes off his outside edge towards the third man region for a boundary.

18.4

Trent Boult To Mohammed Shami

Full length around leg, Shami plays it gently to the leg side and the batters scamper through for the single as Boult has a shy at the keeper's end but misses.

18.3

Trent Boult To Ravi Bishnoi OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! That is a very soft dismissal and the players of Mumbai don't even celebrate so much as they know the game has been wrapped up! Fullish length ball around off and middle, Bishnoi gets under it and plays it straight to Suryakumar Yadav at point who is not going to drop this one.

18.2

Trent Boult To Krishnappa Gowtham

Good length delivery around off, Goutham works this down the ground towards the long off fielder for a single.

18.1

Trent Boult To Krishnappa Gowtham

Boult dishes a good length ball outside the off channel, Goutham looks to heave this one but misses it altogether.

Good length outside off, Bishnoi makes some room but can only connect his bat with thin air. Punjab need 69 in 12!

17.5

James Pattinson To Ravi Bishnoi

Bouncer! This is a bouncer over middle, Bishnoi ducks and lets this one alone.

17.4

James Pattinson To Krishnappa Gowtham

A slower back of a length ball around middle, Goutham heaves this towards the long on region and Pollard at the deep cleans up as the batters take the single.

17.3

James Pattinson To Ravi Bishnoi

Almost another good grab by Suryakumar! Bishnoi plays this towards point but Yadav stops this one before the batters can take the single.

17.2

James Pattinson To Ravi Bishnoi

Outside off, Bishnoi pushes this towards point.

17.1

James Pattinson To Sarfaraz Khan OUT!

OUT! LBW! The umpire does not hesitate to raise his finger straightaway and Sarfaraz also goes for the review! Pattinson bowls a yorker on middle, Sarfaraz looks to clear his foot and flick it but misses and it hits his boot. The third umpire comes into play. UltaEdge says there is no spike. Ball Tracker comes in and there are three reds and the umpire's decision stays on as his decision was right on the money. Punjab are falling apart now.

Jasprit Bumrah To James Neesham OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! Neesham will have to walk back now and the task which already looked tough now looks like it will be impossible! Bumrah goes for the full toss around off, Neesham thinks about pulling this one and goes for that but it takes a leading edge and goes up high in the air towards point and it Suryakumar Yadav who does well to position himself under this and he takes a simple catch. The umpires check as they think this could be if it is above his waist and replays show that this is a legal delivery and Neesham has to take the long walk back to the pavilion.

15.5

Jasprit Bumrah To Sarfaraz Khan

On a full length around off, Sarfaraz looks for the cheeky scoop and connects but doesn't play this well as it reaches Boult at fine leg on a bounce. One run taken.

15.4

Jasprit Bumrah To Sarfaraz Khan

Wonderful fielding by Suryakumar Yadav! Back of a length ball outside off, Sarfaraz cuts this one hard but Yadav does well to dive to his right and stop this one.

15.3

Jasprit Bumrah To James Neesham

On a good length around the off channel, Neesham pulls this one well towards the fielder at deep mid-wicket for one run. Punjab need some big shots right now!

15.2

Jasprit Bumrah To Sarfaraz Khan

LEG BYES! Bumrah dishes a short of a good length ball around middle and leg, Sarfaraz looks to flick this but misses and it comes off his pads towards the fine leg region. The batters take a leg bye.

15.1

Jasprit Bumrah To Sarfaraz Khan

Goes back of a length around off to start off, Sarfaraz works this towards mid-wicket.

14.5

Rahul Chahar To Glenn Maxwell OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! Maxwell is out of here and that should probably be the game for Mumbai! He was never comfortable against Chahar and falls to him. Chahar tosses it up outside off, it is the leg spinner. Maxwell look to heave it over the mid-wicket fence but that is the wrong idea for two reasons. One - It is the longer part of the ground and the other it is against the spin. He only manages to hit it high up in the air towards Boult in the deep who takes it well inside the rope.

14.4

Rahul Chahar To Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell looks to play the reverse sweep but misses as this is bowled outside off. A dot more importantly.

14.3

Rahul Chahar To James Neesham

On the pads, this is worked through square leg for one.

14.2

Rahul Chahar To Glenn Maxwell

Shorter and outside off, Maxwell pulls it through mid-wicket for one.

14.1

Rahul Chahar To Glenn Maxwell

Shorter and on middle, this is pushed back to the bowler.

DRINKS! Mumbai have continued their good work and have done well to stem the flow of runs. Pooran was looking good but Pattinson made sure that he could not damage them any more by sending him back to the hut. Punjab, do have some firepower as Maxwell and Neesham are out in the middle and Sarfaraz is yet to walk out for them, but with the bowling attack that Mumbai possess, it sure does look difficult and unlikely that Punjab can win this one. But in this edition of the Indian T20 League, you never say never till the last delivery has been bowled. Rahul Chahar is back into the attack for Mumbai.

13.5

James Pattinson To James Neesham

Bangs it short and on middle, Neesham gets on top of the bounce and pulls it through mid-wicket. One.

13.4

James Pattinson To James Neesham

Fuller and on middle, Neesham whips it through square leg for two. He is off the mark.

13.3

James Pattinson To James Neesham

Length and around middle, it shapes away. Neesham looks to defend but is beaten.

James Neesham will come out for Punjab.

13.2

James Pattinson To Nicholas Pooran OUT!

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There goes Pooran. It was him who Punjab needed to bat till the end. He was striking it well but he is walking back now. The target now looks farfetched. Also, Shane Bond, the Mumbai bowling coach, was just saying how they wanted to keep it wide and outside off for Pooran and that is the delivery which got them the wicket. Pooran goes after it with an expansive drive but the ball kisses the outside edge and goes to the keeper. 91 needed in 40.

13.1

James Pattinson To Nicholas Pooran

Just short! Pooran would have had his heart in his mouth for a few seconds! It is fuller and outside off. Pooran slices it towards deep cover who runs in but it lands short. Two taken. 100 up.

Pattinson will grip the ball now, replacing Bumrah. His figures read 2-0-20-0 so far.

12.5

Krunal Pandya To Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell lets this one go assuming that it would be a wide as Krunal bowls this full ball way outside off. It is just inside the line and this will be a dot.

12.4

Krunal Pandya To Nicholas Pooran

Looks like Krunal does not want to give any width to Pooran as he bowls a full toss around leg, Pooran tucks this to the mid-wicket region to run across for the single.

12.3

Krunal Pandya To Glenn Maxwell

Krunal dishes a flatter ball outside off, Maxwell nudges this gently towards the mid off region and the batters collect one run before Krunal cuts this one off.

12.2

Krunal Pandya To Nicholas Pooran

Loopy ball around off, Pooran works this to the cover region to collect a single.

11.5

Jasprit Bumrah To Glenn Maxwell

On a good length around middle, Maxwell tucks this one towards the deep square leg region to collect a single run.

11.4

Jasprit Bumrah To Glenn Maxwell

Outside off, Maxwell pushes this one to the fielder at covers.

11.3

Jasprit Bumrah To Nicholas Pooran

Short of a good length delivery around off, Pooran opens up the face of his bat and cuts this towards the third man region for a single.

11.2

Jasprit Bumrah To Nicholas Pooran

FOUR! That is slapped! It seemed like Pooran had that extra second to play this one! Jasprit dishes a back of a length ball around off, Pooran pulls this one hard over the fielder at mid-wicket and it will race away to the fence for four runs. Punjab need more of these.

11.1

Back of a length delivery around middle, Pooran plays this towards the cover region.

10.4

Rahul Chahar To Nicholas Pooran

SIX! BOOM! That is long! Slightly short and Pooran makes him pay. He rocks back and pulls it high and long over the wide long on fence for a biggie.

10.3

Rahul Chahar To Glenn Maxwell

A single now as this is worked through mid-wicket.

10.2

Rahul Chahar To Glenn Maxwell

EDGY TWO! Chahar continues to toss it up to Maxwell. Glenn comes down the track and looks to go over covers. It goes off the outside edge over first slip for two.

10.1

Rahul Chahar To Nicholas Pooran

NOT OUT! It has pitched outside leg. Not sure why Mumbai went for the review as it was a googly from Chahar. It spins away. Pooran looks to sweep but misses to get hit on the pads. A huge shout from Chahar but it is turned down. The batters take a leg bye as it rolls on the off side. Chahar wants the review and it is taken. The replays show that the on-field call is the right one. Mumbai lose their review.

Rohit Sharma goes for the review as Rahul Chahar is convinced that this is out after the umpire said no to the LBW appeal. The third umpire is called in. UltraEdge comes into play and there is no spike as the ball goes past the bat. Ball Tracker is on and the ball is pitching outside leg and so the on-field decision stays on.

Dishes a back of a length ball around middle and leg, Maxwell plays this softly towards the mid on region and the batters run through for the quick single.

9.4

James Pattinson To Nicholas Pooran

Short of a good length around middle, Pooran gets under the ball and pushes it towards the point region for a single.

9.3

James Pattinson To Nicholas Pooran

FOUR! Width on offer and Pooran punishes Pattinson! Bowls a back of a length ball outside off, Pooran slaps this one hard through the point region and the timing is so good that no one can stop this and it will race past the ropes.

9.2

James Pattinson To Nicholas Pooran

BEATEN! Well bowled by Pattinson! He goes for a good length ball around off, Pooran looks to defend this one but it zips past his outside edge into the mitts of de Kock.

9.1

James Pattinson To Glenn Maxwell

Back of a length ball around off, Maxwell looked to work this through the off side but an inside edge sends the ball towards the square leg and the batters take the single.

BEATEN AGAIN! This is lovely bowling. Once again gives it a lot of flight and lands it outside off. The ball spins away. Maxwell looks to smash it but fails to put bat on ball.

Rahul Chahar To Glenn Maxwell

That is a beauty! This is tossed up nice, it dips on the batter. Spins away from off. Mawell looks to drive but is beatenn.

Rahul Chahar To Glenn Maxwell

8.2

Rahul Chahar To Glenn Maxwell

WIDE! Slows it up nicely and bowls it wide outside off, Maxwell goes after it but misses. Wided.

DRINKS! Punjab had started off well but that seems like an eternity ago as Mumbai have crawled back since those three overs and have picked up quick wickets and have put Punjab under immense pressure. They will look to continue the same going forward with the remaining 12 overs. Punjab, on the other hand, have lost their openers who were in good touch and have Maxwell and Pooran out there who are capable to turn this tie on its head. The question is who handles the pressure well and comes out on top!

8.1

Rahul Chahar To KL Rahul OUT!

OUT! BOWLED 'EM! KL Rahul is out of here and Chahar is absolutely delighted. Why not? He has got Punjab's best batter. Rahul can't believe he has missed that. He shuffles right across and looks to play the paddle sweep. It is bowled on the stumps. Rahul misses and it flicks the bail. Timely wicket too as the momentum seemed to be shifting a little due to the last over. Punjab now need someone out of the batters who have not played so well so far to step up.
