Suryakumar Yadav departs after being caught and bowled by Noor Ahmad. The ball was delivered flat and spun away from the middle, causing Suryakumar to retreat and hit it back to Noor Ahmad.
The Afghan cricketer made a nice, sharp, and low catch off his own bowling. It seems that Mumbai Indians might be facing a significant defeat today as Suryakumar Yadav couldn’t create his usual fireworks.
Mumbai Indians’ struggles in the death overs persist as they conceded 94 runs in the last six overs. The absence of Bumrah seems to be hurting them badly. Despite having things under control, with Shubman Gill scoring a brisk 56 off 34 balls, Chawla and Karthikeya managed to take wickets in the middle overs and restrict Gujarat Titans.
However, they couldn’t maintain the pressure till the end. Abhinav Manohar deserves credit for changing the game’s momentum as he bravely attacked Mumbai’s best bowler, Chawla, hitting him for two fours and a six, thus releasing the pressure on David Miller.
After that, the boundaries kept coming as both Manohar and Miller scored at a strike rate of over 200. Tewatia provided the finishing touches with a quick 5-ball 20. Mumbai Indians are now left with another massive total to chase.
