Commentary

Right then! That is it from the coverage of this game! The action from the Indian T20 League continues on Monday, 25th April. Chennai will take on Punjab and the clash will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). As you know, our build-up will begin much earlier, so make sure you tune in early. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

KL Rahul the skipper of Lucknow is the Player of the Match. He says that he tries to stay in the moment and he tries to play the situation, and he does what the team wants him to do, fingers crossed that he continues his good form. Adds that the first thought he had was to just get bat on ball and get off the mark, he wanted to just get the single away, then he was lucky to on till the end. Mentions that he tries to assess the pitch and the conditions before and he does only what the situation asks him to do he was just trying to do the best of his ability. Says that the teams that can defend well, or do well in the Powerplay, or bowl well at the death have done well in the tournament and he likes having all-rounders in the team, says that he has options in the middle and it gives them the depth.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Krunal Pandya is down for a chat. He feels great as it was a collective effort from the team with the perfect plan. Adds that Rahul's knock was a terrific one and the pitch was stopping a bit and he tried to bowl slower balls and varied the pace. Adds that the bowlers executed the plan really well and this will boost the confidence. On Kieron Pollard's wicket, he thanked God that he took his wicket as Pollard would have been chirping every day that he took his wicket. Mentions that the agenda is to win the game and improve and trust the process.

Rohit Sharma the skipper of Mumbai, says it was a good pitch to bat on and it should have been chased down but Lucknow defended well. Adds that they should have had a string of partnerships but some irresponsible shot, including his, has held them down. Tells that they haven't batted well enough and the middle order needs to take responsibility as well, someone should anchor the innings and play the longer innings and that is hurting them. On Tim David, he says that it has been discussed but there are a lot of players and they try to give enough games to the players and settle the XI. They are trying not to make many changes, there are discussions anyways but he feels that whoever plays needs enough time to settle in.

After a lone fight in the first innings from KL Rahul, it's been a relatively collective bowling performance from Lucknow. They were disciplined with their bowling and were rewarded well for the same. They might have not grabbed early wickets but they did well to pick up wickets in a cluster post the Powerplay which put Mumbai under immense pressure. All the bowlers got a wicket at least. Except, Dushmantha Chameera, but he was excellent he gave away just 14 runs in his spell of 4 overs. Krunal Pandya was the leader of the pack he picked up 3 wickets in his spell. A clinical show from Lucknow at the end they were calm, composed, and have got over the line with ease.

Mumbai got off to a decent start with Rohit Sharma striking the ball well, while Ishan Kishan was struggling to get going. It was good for them till the Powerplay. In the next 6 overs, they lost four wickets which took the momentum away from them completely. Tilak Varma once again played a crucial knock and gave them a slight ray of hope but he too perished. There were no partnerships in this innings from Mumbai which was the issue for them. It's the same issue for Mumbai that goes on. They did bowl well today, but their batting once again has been disappointing.

A convincing victory for Lucknow at the end! After losing their previous game, they are back on the winning track. With this victory, Lucknow have grabbed a total of 10 points and they have moved into the top four. While the drought in Mumbai's camp continues, eight in eight for them now.

Commentary

We are back for Mumbai's reply. The players are out in the middle. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are the openers for Mumbai. Mohsin Khan to start with the ball.

... The Chase...

Right then! Mumbai chase well at Wankhede and they'll hope the openers give a good start to them. Lucknow have a good bowling lineup as well. A cracking chase coming up.

Kieron Pollard is up for a chat. He says that he has not bowled in the last couple of games, but he bowled a good spell and they have done well to restrict them to 168 on this wicket. Adds that they need to bat smart here, the boundary is small on one side and dew also should help them. Mentions that they have played some good cricket but they haven't got over the line, but they need to win since they owe it to the team and to the fans.

KL Rahul was the man for Lucknow. No one supported him from the other end and the skipper with a lone effort helped his team put in a decent score. Wickets kept falling at the other end. The 58-run partnership with Pandey helped Lucknow steady the ship but after that, it was all Rahul. He brought up his second ton of the season but his team was a bit cautious in the play.

Mumbai started brilliantly and piled the pressure in the first 10 overs. They bowled good lines and lengths and took wickets at regular intervals but it was Rahul who stood strong against them. It was his knock that makes Mumbai chase a healthy total. Kieron Pollard was the pick of the bowlers who took two crucial wickets in the middle phase. With the overall run, Mumbai will not be that disappointed with the score and will fancy chasing it.

KL Rahul continues to be the nemesis against Mumbai. Two centuries for him and both came against Mumbai this season. A decent score for Lucknow but the way KL Rahul walked back, he looks disappointed with the overall score as he knows, he was not well supported from the other end.

OUT! TAKEN!  What a bizarre way for Kishan to depart! This is flatter, outside off and spinning more away. Kishan tries to cut but ends up getting a bottom edge and the ball deflects off Quinton de Kock's left boot and lobs to first slip where Jason Holder takes it, even he was too excited to take the catch and almost dropped it. Kishan was quite sure that he is out but the umpires wanted to take it upstairs, after numerous replays it shows it was clearly off his boots. Ishan Kishan struggling innings comes to an end.

There is an appeal for a catch at slip. The replays roll in and it shows that the ball goes off Quinton de Kock's boot and then lobs up towards Jason Holder. OUT says the umpire!

Commentary

We are back for Mumbai's reply. The players are out in the middle. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are the openers for Mumbai. Mohsin Khan to start with the ball.

... The Chase...

Right then! Mumbai chase well at Wankhede and they'll hope the openers give a good start to them. Lucknow have a good bowling lineup as well. A cracking chase coming up.

Kieron Pollard is up for a chat. He says that he has not bowled in the last couple of games, but he bowled a good spell and they have done well to restrict them to 168 on this wicket. Adds that they need to bat smart here, the boundary is small on one side and dew also should help them. Mentions that they have played some good cricket but they haven't got over the line, but they need to win since they owe it to the team and to the fans.

KL Rahul was the man for Lucknow. No one supported him from the other end and the skipper with a lone effort helped his team put in a decent score. Wickets kept falling at the other end. The 58-run partnership with Pandey helped Lucknow steady the ship but after that, it was all Rahul. He brought up his second ton of the season but his team was a bit cautious in the play.

Mumbai started brilliantly and piled the pressure in the first 10 overs. They bowled good lines and lengths and took wickets at regular intervals but it was Rahul who stood strong against them. It was his knock that makes Mumbai chase a healthy total. Kieron Pollard was the pick of the bowlers who took two crucial wickets in the middle phase. With the overall run, Mumbai will not be that disappointed with the score and will fancy chasing it.

KL Rahul continues to be the nemesis against Mumbai. Two centuries for him and both came against Mumbai this season. A decent score for Lucknow but the way KL Rahul walked back, he looks disappointed with the overall score as he knows, he was not well supported from the other end.

We are ready for action! The umpires make their out to the middle. All the players are out in middle as well. KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock will open the batting for Lucknow. Daniel Sams will begin the proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

KL Rahul the skipper of Lucknow, says that the last few games that they have watched they have noticed there is not much dew, so the toss does not really matter. Mentions that they need to be smarter with their plans, they have not lost the games with big margins, they know where they have gone wrong and they just need to correct their mistakes. Informs that they have one change Avesh Khan misses out due to a niggle, Mohsin Khan comes in.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says it feels good to be back at Wankhede and he expects a huge cheer. Adds that previously it was a different squad and they'll hope to get together this time. Informs they will bowl first, they have played a lot of cricket here, good pitch, decent size and they back themselves and mentions they are playing the same team.

Lucknow (Playing XI) - Quinton de Kock (WK), KL Rahul (C), Manish Pandey, Krunal Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan (In for Avesh Khan).

Mumbai (Unchanged Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hrithik Shokeen, Kieron Pollard, Daniel Sams, Jaydev Unadkat, Riley Meredith, Jasprit Bumrah.

TOSS - A loud roar from the crowd as Mumbai have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Matthew Hayden is near the pitch. He is a little confused with the surface, although it has a nice cover of grass, the scores have been up and down. Tells that it looks like a good batting track.

Here's wishing the icon, legend, the master blaster, Sachin Tendulkar a very Happy Birthday. Mumbai returns to Wankhede on a perfect day. 'Sachin, Sachin' will surely be the chant of the crowd tonight.  A win for Mumbai today will be a great gift for him!

The last time these two sides met in this league, Lucknow came out on top. Can they do it once again? Or will Mumbai finally win their first game? We will find out. Stay tuned as we bring to you the toss and other updates.

Lucknow are coming into this game after suffering a defeat. Their middle-order seems to be an issue as they have been a little inconsistent. They do have enough firepower in their lineup but they need to step up. KL Rahul scored an empathic century against Mumbai the last time the two sides met in this edition. He will be aiming to go big once again!

Mumbai have been disappointing in all their departments. Their top order has failed to provide the start and all their bowlers have not been able to defend the target. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma have been the only consistent players from their side. They will want to make certain amendments and try to open their account. Not to forget, Mumbai are finally back home! Yes, they are playing at the Wankhede Stadium for the first time since 2019. Today might be a new fresh start for Mumbai!

Hello and welcome to match number 37 of this exciting league where Mumbai will take on Lucknow at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai have had their worst start of the Indian T20 League and chances of qualification for them seem very slim as the maximum points they can reach is 14 provided they win all their remaining games. While the newbies in this league, Lucknow have done fairly well they have won 4 games out of 7 so far and will forward to grabbing two vital points in this game too.

... MATCH DAY ...
