MUMBAI INDIANS WIN BY 4 WICKETS!!!

Mumbai 180-6 (19.5 ovs) vs KKR 178-7 | Scorecard

Boult to bowl the final over with 11 runs needed for victory.

Hardik looks to flick but gets hit on the pads as it goes fine on the leg side for two leg byes with Rajpoot taking time to get to the ball at fine leg.

The next ball is hit straight as Surya Kumar Yadav misfields at long-on to give away a boundary when Hardik should have got only one.

Boult bowls a bouncer which Hardik avoids and looks for the wide for height but the umpire is unmoved.

He bowls another bouncer which Hardik pulls but gets a top edge but substitute fielder Rishi Dhawan at deep square leg puts down a simple catch and the batsman ends up taking two runs.

The last ball is on the pads as Hardik flicks it fine for a four to take Mumbai to a thrilling four-wicket victory with a ball to spare.

A superb knock from Hardik as he smashes a quickfire 29 not out from 11 balls, laced with three fours and two sixes to lift the hosts to a superb come from behind victory.

The odds were firmly against Mumbai when they needed 60 from four overs for victory and Pollard was dismissed soon after but Hardik and Rana went on the attack to steal an unlikely victory.
