Commentary

That's it from this game! We look forward to yet another weekend as Saturday, 7th May sees Punjab take on Rajasthan at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT) and later Lucknow will face Kolkata at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but as usual join us early for the build-up. Till then, cheers!

Tim David is the Player of the Match. He says that it feels great to win. Mentions that it was a good batting wicket and that's why he was disappointed after missing out on a few balls. Mentions that they bowled well after giving away 90 runs in the first 10 overs. Further adds that it was a two-paced wicket and it's about getting to a flier and carrying on then, but he feels great to be on the winning side.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says it was pretty tight but it is satisfying to win, the luck had to turn to their side at some stage. Feels they were 15-20 runs short but Tim David finished things very well and took them to a defendable score. Adds that the bowling decision depends on the pitch, who is bowling well on that day and he had resources to turn towards the players who put in a great effort to defend it. Tells that they are not thinking too far away and feel, they haven't played their best cricket yet, not even today but he backs his players and their skillset. On Daniel Sams, he says that he was under the pump in the last couple of games but he has the skillset and he backed him. Admits they are trying to maintain the same squad as much as possible.

... The Presentation...

Daniel Sams, the man of the moment, says that it was a crazy game, but it was good to get across the line, the game was always back and forth. But it feels good. Mentions that he just stuck to his plan in the last over, he had to give his everything. Mentions that he was just trying to stick to his best ball and the slower ball was his go to ball and it paid off. Further says that they did not have a great start in the tournament, but they have nothing to lose and can show other teams what they are capable of!

Hardik Pandya, the skipper of Gujarat says that they were cruising through, but the batters put them down in the end. Adds that in T20 cricket they can't keep losing wickets, and that probably was the turning point where they lost two wickets in one over, it pulled the game back. But not blaming anyone here, they have won in crunch situations all the time. Says that they played very good cricket till the 19th over, but it just slipped away, they should have not let the game go till the 20th over. Adds that with the bowling at one point Mumbai were looking to post over 200 and at the end he was happy with 170.

Gujarat have chased tougher scores before this but all the applause goes to Daniel Sams here. The two crucial run outs, one of Hardik Pandya and the other of Rahul Tewatia helped Mumbai clinch their second win. Murugan Ashwin took two wickets while Kieron Pollard ended with one wicket. But all the pressure was on Daniel Sams who had to defend 9 runs in the last over and boy, he did it brilliantly. Mumbai just did what party spoilers do. Stay tuned for some quick interviews.

A target of 178 and Gujarat were the firm favorites to win it but credit to the Mumbai bowlers. Gujarat were 95 at the halfway mark and with two set batters out there but the tide did turn as Murugan Ashwin took the wicket of both the openers. It feels like Hardik Pandya's run out was the turning point as Gujarat were looking comfortable till then. They still had Rahul Tewatia and David Miller who have done the finishing job this season but remember Hardik said once, that he hopes they don't run out of luck too early and it feels like they ran out of luck here.

Mumbai have done it! Incredible scenes here in Brabourne Stadium. Daniel Sams is pumped up as he jumps in the air. Rohit Sharma joins the celebration. Wow, 8 runs defended off the last over and all the bets were against Mumbai at that time. Sams was bowling against Rahul Tewatia and David Miller who are finishing games in each match but they have failed here. Mumbai have won two in a row now, while the table-toppers, Gujarat have lost their second consecutive game.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players have made their way out to the middle. Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill will open the batting for Gujarat. Daniel Sams will begin with the ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

177 looks like a good score but not a humongous one on this pitch! Gujarat have a deep batting line-up and they will hope to win here and get back to winning ways. Mumbai have to be very tight with their bowling. Stay tuned as the chase is coming up.

Tim David is down for a chat. He says that the start was good but could not get as many in the end but he hopes that the bowlers can get the job done. Mentions that they are probably a little short, but in the end, they were trying to get as many as possible. Adds that his job was to finish the innings, and as a batter, he wanted to capitalize on the other balls as well. Further adds that hitting sixes feel good, and the focus is to get as many as possible. Mentions that the wicket is good and the bowlers did not have many options here and so the batters have to go after each ball.

Gujarat dominated the middle phase and hence they are not chasing a big total here. Gujarat did not find the solution earlier but they started using slower deliveries more often in the backend and that helped them take wickets at regular intervals. Gujarat will be the happier side going into the break and they will fancy a win here. Rashid Khan was the pick of the bowlers as he took two big wickets of Rohit and Pollard.

Still, a really good batting performance from Mumbai and it was all possible after a good start. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan gave a really good start, their best this season as they ended the Powerplay with 63 runs. The way both were going, a huge score was on the cards but Rohit fell after a quick fiery 45, and after that, some poor shot selection cost Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan their wicket. Mumbai lost the plot in the middle overs but it was then the late carnage from Tim David that helped them put in a respectable total.

The late heroics from Tim David has helped Mumbai get past the 170 mark but still, it feels like a par score as the ball is coming nicely onto the bat and Gujarat will fancy chasing this. Mumbai bowlers are not in great form and they need to be top-notch to defend this.

OUT! RUN OUT! This is not what Mumbai needed at this time! But Gujarat have managed to grab another wicket. A full toss ball, around middle and off.

Tilak Varma is just short of his ground and he has to walk back. The umpire's also called that a no ball since it was above the waist. Free Hit coming up!

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players have made their way out to the middle. Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill will open the batting for Gujarat. Daniel Sams will begin with the ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

177 looks like a good score but not a humongous one on this pitch! Gujarat have a deep batting line-up and they will hope to win here and get back to winning ways. Mumbai have to be very tight with their bowling. Stay tuned as the chase is coming up.

Tim David is down for a chat. He says that the start was good but could not get as many in the end but he hopes that the bowlers can get the job done. Mentions that they are probably a little short, but in the end, they were trying to get as many as possible. Adds that his job was to finish the innings, and as a batter, he wanted to capitalize on the other balls as well. Further adds that hitting sixes feel good, and the focus is to get as many as possible. Mentions that the wicket is good and the bowlers did not have many options here and so the batters have to go after each ball.

Gujarat dominated the middle phase and hence they are not chasing a big total here. Gujarat did not find the solution earlier but they started using slower deliveries more often in the backend and that helped them take wickets at regular intervals. Gujarat will be the happier side going into the break and they will fancy a win here. Rashid Khan was the pick of the bowlers as he took two big wickets of Rohit and Pollard.

Still, a really good batting performance from Mumbai and it was all possible after a good start. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan gave a really good start, their best this season as they ended the Powerplay with 63 runs. The way both were going, a huge score was on the cards but Rohit fell after a quick fiery 45, and after that, some poor shot selection cost Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan their wicket. Mumbai lost the plot in the middle overs but it was then the late carnage from Tim David that helped them put in a respectable total.

The late heroics from Tim David has helped Mumbai get past the 170 mark but still, it feels like a par score as the ball is coming nicely onto the bat and Gujarat will fancy chasing this. Mumbai bowlers are not in great form and they need to be top-notch to defend this.

We are ready for action! The players are out in the middle.  Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan will open the batting for Mumbai. Mohammad Shami will begin the proceedings with the ball. Here we go...

The captain of Mumbai, Rohit Sharma informs, there is one change, says Murugan Ashwin comes in for Hrithik Shokeen, it is a tactical change. Adds that it has been a tough road but they want to finish on a high and enjoy the game rather than taking pressure. Mentions they had a good game last time and want to carry the momentum. Mentions they have done well in patches but they want consistency.

Hardik Pandya, the captain of Gujarat, says that they will bowl first, to be honest, they feel something will happen with the new ball. Adds that they spoke about forgetting their previous game, they have been consistent throughout and there was one game which they had to lose cause they were beating all the odds. Informs that they are playing with the same XI.

Mumbai (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Daniel Sams, Murugan Ashwin (In for Hrithik Shokeen), Kumar Kartikeya, Jasprit Bumrah, Riley Meredith.

Gujarat (Unchanged playing XI) - Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Hardik Pandya (C), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Pradeep Sangwan, Lockie Ferguson, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammad Shami.

TOSS - Up goes the coin and it lands in the favour of Gujarat. They will BOWL first!

PITCH REPORT - Kevin Pietersen is down near the pitch. He says it is a beautiful wicket, just like it was last night and the pitch curator treats this wicket as his baby. Adds that we are going to see a great surface, a vacuum of an outfield and what we want to see is more sixes as there were 23 sixes hit on this ground last night.

Mumbai finally grabbed two points against Rajasthan last time around. They will hope to play each game like five-time champions and try to win all of their remaining games. Gujarat had an off-day against Punjab but they will fancy getting back to winning ways as they meet a side who are not in top form and remain four points clear on top. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

Few familiar faces will return today as we gear up to match number 51. Hello and welcome to the coverage of yet another matchday where Mumbai will take on Gujarat. Hardik Pandya will return to Mumbai but this time against them. One team is sitting on top of the hill while the other is under a dark tunnel trying to escape and find a few rays of hope.

... MATCH DAY...
