18.1: James Pattinson to Ankit Rajpoot, OUT! CAUGHT. The match ends. Well before time, in spite of all the delays. 11 balls not used by Rajasthan. Not that it would have mattered. But if it does come close in the net run rate section, towards the end, they could end up rueing. A length ball, outside off, Rajpoot backs away and looks to go inside out but simply manages to give a leaping catch to Rohit Sharma at short extra cover. MUMBAI WIN BY 57 RUNS.

17.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Jofra Archer, OUT! CAUGHT. Bumrah gets 4. A length ball, around middle, Archer backs away and swings it towards long on. Easy catch for Kieron Pollard who never feels any catch is difficult, does he? 4-0-20-4 for Boom Boom tonight.

17.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Jofra Archer, FOUR! Another pull shot. This is again between mid-wicket and long on. Not exactly the definition of bisection, but spoils Bumrah's figures nevertheless.

17.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Jofra Archer, A short ball, pulled to deep mid-wicket for a couple.
4
17.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Jofra Archer, FOUR! Length ball, outside off, drag-slapped through mid-wicket, explaining the definition of bisection through articulation to anyone who is struggling in geometry. Long on and deep mid-wicket were bisected to perfection.

17.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Ankit Rajpoot, Great stop by Quinton de Kock. A high full toss, outside off, Rajpoot backs away and slashes hard. Gets a thick outside edge and the ball races away. Now, Quinton is moving to his left but has to retrace his steps to his right side. Sticks his right glove out and stops the ball, taking care of the helmet behind too. That would have been 5, had that hit.

17.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Jofra Archer, Outside off, pushed towards long off for a single.

19.6: Ankit Rajpoot to Hardik Pandya, A low full toss, outside off, Hardik swings it towards wide long on. The call is for two but Hardik slips at the non-striker's end. Mumbai have to settle for the single but what a score they have made - 193/4!
6
19.5: Ankit Rajpoot to Hardik Pandya, SIX! Doesn't time it but yet it will clear the boundary! Ohhh... these modern batsmen and their bats... A high full toss, around off, Pandya looks to swips across the line, mistimes it in the air and clears long on with ease!
1
19.4: Ankit Rajpoot to Suryakumar Yadav, Similar ball, this is heaved down to long on for a run.
4
19.3: Ankit Rajpoot to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! What a shot! Everyone knew what he was about to do and yet, he is successful. With fine leg up, the line would have been wide outside off and the length full. And Surya is ready. Runs across, picks the length and scoops it over short fine leg!

19.2: Ankit Rajpoot to Hardik Pandya, Good ball again and this time it is legal. Low full toss, pushed down to long on for a run.
2
19.2: Ankit Rajpoot to Hardik Pandya, NO BALL! That is a massive, massive crime. The ball is excellent, a yorker, but it is not legal! Pandya gets it towards long off and Surya charges back for the second. Smith is not happy with that no ball. Free Hit loading, 200 is coming...

19.1: Ankit Rajpoot to Suryakumar Yadav, Yorker, outside off, Surya looks to drive and gets it towards mid-wicket off the inner half. A single taken.

18.6: Jofra Archer to Suryakumar Yadav, Short and around off, SKY gets across and whips it towards deep backward square leg for a single. 15 from the over, 34 in the last 2!

18.5: Jofra Archer to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX! What a response! Everytime you feel you have seen everything in this game, you still get something different. Low full toss, outside off, Surya backs away and scoops it over the keeper towards third man! That is not a reverse. Just look at the bravery of that man!

18.4: Jofra Archer to Suryakumar Yadav, BANG! ON THE HELMET! Archer is a really skiddy customer and his current skipper knows that, doesn't he? A sharp short ball, outside off, Yadav looks to pull but misses and gets hit right on the helmet. Hardik wants a run but Surya straightaway gets across and removes his helmet. Rubs his hair, so there is pain.

18.3: Jofra Archer to Hardik Pandya, Low full toss, outside off, sliced to sweeper cover for a single.

18.2: Jofra Archer to Hardik Pandya, A slower ball, Pandya swings for the heavens but misses. 'OOOOOh!' he cries, in disgust.

18.1: Jofra Archer to Hardik Pandya, A full toss, bunted down the ground to long on. Yadav always wanted the second and a fumble helps him get there easily.

18.1: Jofra Archer to Hardik Pandya, FIVE NO BALLS! Oh dear. That was nasty. Phew. Hardik. Thank goodness, you are safe. Mumbai get an extra ball and a few bonus runs but that was scary. Archer fires in a beamer and poor Hardik is caught unawares. He tries to duck and just about evades it. Buttler behind is surprised as well and lets it go through as well. Hardik is still on the ground and Yadav gets across and helps him up. Shocker.

17.5: Tom Curran to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX! No respect, no respect whatsoever! Great execution. Full and outside off, Yadav gets down and laps it over square leg for half a dozen!

17.4: Tom Curran to Hardik Pandya, DROPPED! Give yourself a glare, Tom Curran, if you can. Because you have just cost yourself a big wicket and who knows - your side, the game. A short ball, outside off, Hardik looks to pull but gets a bit of extra bounce. Mistimes it and gets a top edge. Curran himself calls for it as he rushes to his right, gets to the ball but then, plonks it. A single taken.

17.3: Tom Curran to Hardik Pandya, There comes the yorker and once again it is dug out for a brace towards mid-wicket. Good cricket. Excellent bowling, watchful batting and terrific running. 150 UP FOR MUMBAI. 15 balls to go.

17.2: Tom Curran to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Up and over! A full toss, outside off, Pandya flays it over cover, beating the sweeper to his right. The stand is now worth 31 from 20 balls.

17.1: Tom Curran to Hardik Pandya, Perfect yorker, around off, but still concedes two as Hardik whips this through mid-wicket. Moves to 10 from 8 balls.
