McClenaghan to bowl the last over. Yuvraj swings hard at the second ball but misses. CAUGHT! Yuvraj connects with the 3rd ball but doesn’t get enough on it as Lewis takes the catch at sweeper cover.
Axar Patel clubs the next ball, a full toss this time, over deep midwicket for a SIX. McClenaghan sends down a bouncer and Axar misses with the bat but they steal a single. 8 runs needed off the last ball. Tiwary on strike and he pulls it for a FOUR at backward square leg but it’s in vain as KXIP fall short of 2 runs.
Bumrah to bowl the 19th. CAUGHT! What an impact Bumrah has made for Mumbai, he sends in a slower delivery and Rahul batting on 94 goes for the big one but is outdone by the change of pace and sends the ball into the hands of Cutting at long on. Great innings by the KXIP man but is it enough to take them across the line? Yuvraj walks in to bat.
Bumrah ends his spell with figures of 3/15. Great bowling by the MI bowler.
KXIP need 17 from 6 balls to win.
Ben Cutting comes into the attack. Axar sends the 2nd ball high but gets no distance on it, lucky for him there’s no one under it when it lands. Rahul times the pull beautifully as he sends the 3rd ball to backward square leg for a FOUR. Rahul then opens his stance and uses a reverse sweep lifting the ball over short third man for back-to-back FOURs. Another one! Rahul pulls off another reverse sweep for his third consecutive FOUR, sending the ball down to third man. What an over, 15 runs come off it.
KXIP need 23 off 12 balls to win.
Bumrah comes back into the attack and he immediately gives MI the breakthrough. Finch tries to hit the fuller delivery straight down the ground but he only sends it miles up in the sky and Hardik keeps his cool to take the catch. Rahul sends the 3rd ball through extra cover and it was racing to the boundary but Krunal puts in a full length dive along the ground and saves the boundary right in front of the ropes.
CAUGHT! Bumrah sends in a quick bouncer to Stoinis who was crammed for space as he went for the pull. The ball glances off his gloves and Kishan laps it up between his gloves.
Markande is back into the attack. Rahul goes for the big shot on the 4th ball but he doesn’t connect cleanly and Krunal does well to save the boundary at third man. SIX! Rahul launches the 5th ball straight down the ground over long on for a big one. Another one! Rahul takes the same route this time but it’s hit much more powerfully as it flies into the upper tiers of the stands for back-to-back SIXES.
Hardik is back into the attack. Sends down two consecutive wides after Finch gets a single off the first ball. He recovers well as he gives away just 6 runs off the over.
KXIP now need 60 from 30 balls to win.
