On a pitch that offered significant assistance to both spinners and seamers deploying slower deliveries, SRH batters struggled to find rhythm for the majority of their innings. However, a late flourish, 57 runs coming in the final five overs, breathed life into their total
The Mumbai bowlers were clinical in their execution, adapting beautifully to the conditions. Trent Boult impressed with pinpoint yorkers to return 1 for 29, while Will Jacks chipped in with a remarkable spell of 3-0-14-2, applying the brakes in the middle overs
Jasprit Bumrah was once again at his miserly best, conceding just 21 runs and picking up a wicket in his full quota of four overs
The tone for SRH’s stuttering innings was set early. In a dramatic first over by Deepak Chahar, both openers survived close calls.
Abhishek Sharma edged the very first delivery, only for Jacks to fumble the chance at slip. Later in the over, Travis Head’s mistimed shot fell just short of a diving Karn Sharma at midwicket
Will Jacks made an immediate impact with the ball, removing Ishan Kishan cheaply for just two. At the other end, Travis Head endured a scratchy stay, managing only 28 off 29 deliveries. Though he was caught off a no-ball, Head couldn’t make it count and eventually fell after failing to break free
It wasn’t until the 18th over that the first six of the innings was hit, courtesy of Heinrich Klaasen. The South African provided a much-needed boost, scoring 37 off 28 balls with two sixes and three fours.
