Do Mumbai Indians have enough to defend? Go to our Live Report and vote.

Strong finish from Mumbai Indians with 21 off that last over. With any other two teams, you might have said this is still under-par, but we are talking of Mumbai Indians' attack and a top-heavy SRH batting unit. Plus the pitch seems a touch slower than the usual ones here. I'd say about par. We will soon find out

Kaul to KH Pandya, SIX, what a finish from Krunal Pandya. Six. Four. Four. Six. Kaul bowls length again, and he goes deep in the crease and sends it flying over long-on for another six
19.5
4
Kaul to KH Pandya, FOUR, Krunal playing a little gem here. Low full toss again, he stays leg side of it, and drives it to the right of extra cover for four more
19.4
4
Kaul to KH Pandya, FOUR, back to attempting a yorker, ends up bowling a low full toss, and Pandya clears the front leg to hit it straight of long-on
19.3
6
Kaul to KH Pandya, SIX, why bowl length after yorkers have been working? Krunal gets under this slower ball and lofts him over long-on for an easy six

In comes the other Pandya. Over the wicket he goes

19.2

Kaul to HH Pandya, OUT, base of leg stump. This is great stuff by SRH at death. Pandya goes deep into the crease to try to turn a yorker into a half-volley but Kaul sticks to his guns and squeezes this under his bat

HH Pandya b Kaul 28 (19b 2x4 2x6) SR: 147.36

19.1

Kaul to Pollard, 1 run, low low full toss. Good enough execution. Just the single to deep midwicket

So the last three overs have all started with sixes, but they have all come back properly to limit the damage. Can Kaul keep up the good work and deny them that 25-run over? He goes round the wicket. The field is leg-heavy so no wide yorkers here

END OF OVER:

Natarajan to HH Pandya, no run, oh the perfect yorker to Pandya who is looking to go deep into the crease to manufacture a length. Natarajan nails it. Dug out back to him. Another lovely over from Natarajan
18.5
1
Natarajan to Pollard, 1 run, looks for the wide yorker again, but bowls full enough to deny him an aerial hit. Drilled to long-on for one
18.4
1
Natarajan to HH Pandya, 1 run, wide yorker, can't do better than hit it straight to deep cover for one

And now the square leg comes in to allow him a deep square third man

18.3
4
Natarajan to HH Pandya, FOUR, oh just short of a wide yorker, and Pandya gets under it to drive it over point. If you are bowling wide yorkers, you need a deep point or a square third man
18.2
1
Natarajan to Pollard, 1 run, nails the yorker this time, dug out to long-on for one

Pollard has not looked to hit out of the ground. Just small efficient sixes so far

18.1
6
Natarajan to Pollard, SIX, goes for the wide yorker, ends up bowling a full toss, and he smashes this for a flat six over long-off

Natarajan's last over

END OF OVER:

Sandeep Sharma to HH Pandya, no run, Hits him on the toe with a yorker. Seems like a slower yorker. Big appeal for lbw. Not given. SRH go upstairs. Runs the fingers on it to create the pace deception, which is why Pandya is early into the shot. But this has pitched just outside leg to save Pandya. Well done by the umpire because it is easy to get carried away when a batsman is hit on the toe bang in front of the stumps

Back round the wicket

17.5
1
Sandeep Sharma to Pollard, 1 run, short ball, just outside off, pulled to deep midwicket for one

Over the wicket now

17.4

Sandeep Sharma to Pollard, SIX, knee high full toss now, and draws a bit of a mis-hit still. However, at Sharjah, this is strong enough. Rashid leaps at deep square leg and sticks his hand out, but this clears him

Tasmeem: "Natarajan has to be the find of the IPL so far. Sensational death bowling, been consistently hitting the yorker mark every game."

17.3
1
Sandeep Sharma to HH Pandya, 1 run, another low full toss, but he ends up hitting it on the first bounce to deep square leg
17.2
1
Sandeep Sharma to Pollard, 1 run, another low full toss, but lower than the last one, and he can't get under it. Single to long-on

Only long-off is deep on the off side. So he is going to bowl straight yorkers

17.1
6
Sandeep Sharma to Pollard, SIX, yorker gone wrong. Low full toss, on the stumps, and easily flicked away for a six over midwicket

Sandeep Sharma comes back to bowl his final over. He goes round the wicket

END OF OVER:
17 | 10 Runs | MI: 159/4 | RR: 9.35

  • Hardik Pandya22 (13b)
  • Kieron Pollard2 (5b)
  • T Natarajan3-0-16-0
  • Rashid Khan4-0-22-1

DARSHIT KARIA: "Good strategy by MI here by playing out Rashid Khan in the 16th Over & they can target the rest of bowlers in the last 4 overs.. It's more important for both of these to stay at crease rather than hitting one six of Rashid & getting out.. "

Natarajan to HH Pandya, no run, lovely wide yorker, just inside that blue wide line, and it squeezes past his bat. Lovely comeback from Natarajan after that first-ball six
