Rohit, Kishan give MI a good start

May 17, 2022 22:25

Mumbai 78-0 (9 ovs) vs Sunrisers 193-6

Off-spinner Sundar comes back into the attack. He does well to concede four singles from his second over as Rohit and Kishan avoid taking risks with the field spread out.

Natarajan, who was hit for 16 runs in his first over, is back for his second spell.

Mumbai have slowed down considerably, dealing in just singles as they look to build a good platform for the lower order.

Another over passes by with a boundary as Natarajan concedes five singles in his second over.

16 have come off the last three overs with Mumbai on 61 for no loss in eight overs.

Umran Malik introduced into the attack, to bowl the ninth over. He starts with a high full toss which is ruled a no-ball for height. The free hit delivery is ruled a wide as Umran's slower bouncer goes high over Rohit.

Umran bowls a quick bouncer as Rohit is hurried into the pull with the ball going off the helmet, fine on the leg side for a boundary. Infact, the umpire rules it a no-ball for the second bouncer of the over as he gives it five extra runs.

Kishan is miscues the pull shot, clearly beaten for pace, with the ball going back over the wicketkeeper for a six.

Umran finally gets it right as Kishan pushes away from his body at the ball slanted across him to go past the edge.

Kishan slogs across the line but misses once again before he drives a full delivery to long-on for one.

Rohit shuffles across but gets a thick inside edge for a single to fine leg.

17 runs from Umran's first over as Mumbai reach 78 for no loss in nine overs, needing another 116 runs from 11 overs for victory at an asking rate of 10.4.

Both the openers are on 35 each, and MI will hope atleast one of them can carry till the end.
