Akil Hussain wreaked havoc in bowling. He took 4 wickets for just 17 runs and also bowled a maiden over, due to which Mumbai’s batting completely disintegrated. Mumbai Indians, who set out to chase the target of 208 runs, had a very bad start. After losing important wickets in the power play itself, the team could never recover and were all out for just 104 runs in 19 overs.

After the match, Hardik Pandya said, “Losing wickets in the powerplay proved to be the biggest loss for us. We could not get out of that pressure. We have to do better in batting.” When asked about the pitch, he said that both the teams played on the same pitch, but Samson’s brilliant innings and the cooperation of other batsmen made the difference. Now Mumbai Indians have a few days time, in which the team will rework its strategy and try to perform better in the next match.
