Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings Highlights And Cricket Score 15th Match - T20 Commentary
Have the last 2 overs given Mumbai an edge over Chennai? Or with dew already making its presence, are the home side 10-15 runs short? We will get to know in a while...
Probably, the dismissals of Krunal and Surya came as a blessing in disguise for Mumbai. For the 6th wicket unbeaten stand added 45 in just 12 balls! Unfathomable.
With the ball swinging a bit early on, Chennai managed to get 3 quick wickets but they were mostly due to ill-timed shots. Krunal Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav started to get a partnership going but the latter strangely seemed to slow down after a superb start. The 62-run stand stalled the wicket-flow but the runs were not coming either.
45 from the last 2 overs. 88 in the last 6. Mumbai were 82/3 at the end of the 14th. Their flight suddenly took a U-turn since then. Sensational batting.
Krunal Pandya is having a chat with Alan Wilkins. Krunal says that Mumbai will be definitely happy with the score, especially where they were at the halfway stage. Adds that the wicket is sticky and the ball is not coming on to the bat. Praises his brother and Pollard for finishing the innings nicely. Says that early on, the ball was swinging a lot and batting was difficult. On Hardik's knock, Krunal says that he is happy for his brother but also adds that he is not surprised because he has seen Hardik bat like that in his backyard.
Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya. SIX! A flat hit on the final ball! Full and outside off, Hardik leans into this one and slices it over backward point. It goes all the way! 29 from the over as MUMBAI FINISH ON 170/5!

Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya. SIX! The helicopter Pandya! Hardik is pumped up. Full and outside off, Pandya swings it cleanly over mid-wicket!
Dwayne Bravo to Kieron Pollard. DROPPED ON THE FREE HIT! It does not matter in terms of wickets but Deepak Chahar has given Mumbai two extra runs. Outside off, short in length, Pollard looks to pull but gets a top edge. It is a simple catch for Chahar at deep mid-wicket but he puts it down. By the time he recovers and throws the ball, the batsmen take the third!
FREE HIT TIME!!!
Dwayne Bravo to Kieron Pollard. NO BALL! SIX! Error and then a blunder from Bravo. Pollard's turn to dance. A full toss and that too above the waist. Caribbean power on display as Pollard swings it into orbit above mid-wicket. Replays show that it might have been a harsh call. That was not quite above the waist.
Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya. Low full toss outside off, Pandya squeezes it towards point for a run.
Dwayne Bravo to Hardik Pandya. WIDE! Full and down the leg side, Pandya looks to flick but misses it.

There is more to follow. Dhoni collects, fumbles and now Pollard wants a single. Hardik responds and starts to run but MS recovers quickly. Dives and has an under-arm shy at the bowler's end but misses.
Shardul Thakur to Hardik Pandya. SIX! CLOBBERED! Where has that gone? To Pune from Mumbai! A short ball, outside off, Hardik pulls it over mid-wicket for a colossal hit!

Kieron Pollard comes in at number 7, replacing Suryakumar.
Dwayne Bravo to Suryakumar Yadav. OUT! Gone! Caught. Surya cannot quite stay till the end. A length ball, around middle, Yadav looks to swing hard but gets hit on the higher part of the bat. Gets more height than distance and Ravindra Jadeja takes a dolly at long on. Decent knock from Surya but now, Mumbai have two new batsmen in the middle. 100th wicket in the Indian T20 League playing for Chennai for Bravo!
Dwayne Bravo to Suryakumar Yadav. FOUR! BRUTAL! Yadav is slowly opening his arms now. Bravo misses his yorker length by a fraction and that is enough for Surya. Bludgeons it down the ground. Ravindra Jadeja races across to his left from long on, dives full length and looks to stop the ball. But it hits him on his hand and deflects away.

Brother replaces brother. Hardik Pandya comes in at number 6, replacing Krunal.
Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya. OUT! Caught! Third time unlucky for Krunal. Actually, it is the third time just in this over. Overall, it will be the nth time. Outside off, fractionally short, Pandya backs away and slaps hard but gets more height than distance. Ravindra Jadeja gets across from long off and takes it Australian style with fingers pointing skywards. Excellent knock from Krunal - injecting some momentum into the innings.
Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya. FOUR! Just over! Krunal is flirting with his luck. Outside off, Pandya looks to go off side but mistimes it over extra cover. Shane Watson leaps but misses.

Dwayne Bravo to Krunal Pandya. Full on middle, Pandya flicks it through mid-wicket for a run.
Dwayne Bravo gets a change of ends. 1-0-4-0 so far.
Imran Tahir to Krunal Pandya. DIRECT HIT COULD HAVE HAD KRUNAL! Another piece of luck for Pandya. He comes down the track, takes it on the full and flicks it straight to Raina at mid-wicket again. Takes him on and is gone for all money. Raina prefers the direct hit and goes hard at the bowler's end but misses. The dive would not have saved KP.

STRATEGIC BREAK. 6 overs left then. Mumbai have been given a new lease of life with this Krunal-Surya partnership. Yadav seems to have mellowed down a touch but that is because Pandya has come out with full flair. In a partnership of 32, KP has 20. They should easily reach 150 from here but with the batting to come, 175 is not impossible to get. That will change the course of this game a bit. Here comes IMRAN TAHIR again. 3-0-14-1 so far.
Shardul Thakur to Krunal Pandya. On a length on middle and leg, Pandya flicks it towards square leg. The batsmen cross ends. Just 4 runs from the over. Mumbai need big overs to cross 170.

Mohit Sharma to Krunal Pandya. FOUR! Tough luck for Rayudu. This is a brutal hit from Pandya. Dropped short from Mohit, KP swivels and pulls it powerfully, straight to Ambati Rayudu at deep mid-wicket. He stops the ball on the bounce, but the power on the shot takes him beyond the ropes. He tries to recover and then push the ball away but at that time, he is outside the boundary. Now he comes inside and tries to push it away but by that time, the ball touches the ropes.

STRATEGIC BREAK. Chennai are picking up wickets at regular intervals. Cannot say that any one ball was wicket-taking but such has been the day so far. There is already plenty of dew on the outfield, so Mumbai will have to keep on scoring - as anything less than 180 could be noncompetitive. KRUNAL PANDYA walks in at number 5, replacing Yuvraj. Left-hander replaces left-hander.
Imran Tahir to Yuvraj Singh. OUT! It is a clean catch and Yuvraj walks back too. Another big blow. Tahir has his first. Floated outside off, Yuvraj leans and lofts it over long off. At first, it seems like he will clear the boundary but then Ambati Rayudu is seen pouching the catch at the boundary line. He celebrates but the umpires ask Yuvi to wait. Replays are crystal clear that it is a clean catch.
Yuvraj has been caught out at long off but the umpire is wanting to check whether the fielder touched the ropes...
Imran Tahir to Yuvraj Singh. Short delivery on middle, Singh pulls it through square leg. The fielder in the deep does well to stop it. The batsmen pick up a couple. 50 UP FOR MUMBAI!

Ravindra Jadeja to Rohit Sharma. OUT! Given out caught behind! Well, Rohit will feel aggrieved by that. Entire Mumbai camp will be. Replays show that when Jadeja landed his foot, his heel was on the line, in the air and then got dragged in. However, after numerous replays, the umpire has given it out. On the dismissal, it was slowly tossed up outside off, Rohit looked to push at it but missed. The outside edge was snapped by Dhoni in a flash. Controversial dismissal.
Rohit has been caught behind! But has Jadeja overstepped? Referred upstairs....
Ravindra Jadeja into the attack.

Deepak Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav. FOUR! Hat-trick of fours for Yadav! Similar ball, too straight, on the pads and this time Suryakumar flicks it effortlessly wide of mid on. No dive or chase this time.
Deepak Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav. MISFIELD, FOUR! Again, SKY has two boundaries in as many balls. On middle and leg, Yadav flicks it through mid-wicket. Ambati Rayudu gets to the ball and puts in a dive but cannot quite stop it. He then gets up and runs after the ball, dives near the boundary again and tries to sweep the ball back in with his left hand but fails again.
Deepak Chahar to Suryakumar Yadav. FOUR! Stand and deliver! We have a mid off, cover, cover-point and point. But Yadav still finds the gap. A length ball outside off, Surya stands tall and punches it sweetly, right where extra cover would have been. But there is no one there.

Shardul Thakur to Suryakumar Yadav. FOUR! BEAUTY! He is such a sight to watch. Overpitched from Thakur and Yadav drives it straight back to where it came from. Down the ground, past mid on. Consecutive boundaries.

Suryakumar Yadav comes in at number 3, replacing de Kock.
Deepak Chahar to Quinton de Kock. OUT! Caught next ball! De Kock falls early. A short ball outside off, de Kock looks to pull but the ball goes off the inner half of the bat. Probably because it skidded off the deck. So instead of going to mid-wicket, the ball travels to square leg where Kedar Jadhav completes the formalities. Replays show that the bat twisted a bit as well. Early strike then for Chennai and who is the hero? Deepak Chahar - their go-to Powerplay man.
Deepak Chahar to Quinton de Kock. FOUR! Fortuitous! Mumbai will not mind as they get their first boundary of the game. Outside off, moving away, de Kock looks to push through the off side but gets a thick inside edge which rockets past the stumps to fine leg!

Informs two changes - Jason Behrendorff and Rahul Chahar debut for Mitchell McClenaghan and the unwell Mayank Markande. On Rahul Chahar, Rohit says that he was with the team last season and looks a pretty exciting prospect.

WEATHER - It is hot and humid in Mumbai. Though with the sun set, the heat will not be that bad.
Hello and a warm welcome to Match 15 of the Indian T20 League between Mumbai and Chennai at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. We can see a sea of blue at the stadium. The hosts lost their last match against Punjab in Mohali and will be looking for their second win in this season. On the other hand, Chennai will look to make it 4 in 4. For Mumbai, Pollard's form is a concern. So is the rest of the batting. They are getting starts but not quite making them big. The last time the two teams met in this ground was last year when Chennai defeated Mumbai by one wicket. They would look to relive that win and stay comfortably at the top of the points table. They would want Watson and Rayudu to fire and would want their middle order to fire better from the last match against Rajasthan. Mumbai might bring Ben Cutting in place of Kieron Pollard. What is in store for us? Stay tuned for the toss.
So a team which had never lost this season earns its first defeat. Courtesy Chennai's loss, Punjab move up the table to take the provisional pole position while Mumbai go up to 6th, sneaking past Rajasthan. Next stop? Delhi, who hosts Hyderabad. Join us for that game from the Kotla on Thursday, April 4, 2019 at 8 pm local (1430 GMT). ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
HARDIK PANDYA HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH FOR HIS 8-BALL 25 AND 3/20. Feels humbled by the praises being showered on him and is happy to have contributed. On missing cricket, Hardik reminds us that he missed the game for around 7 months and he kept practicing during that time. Adds that it felt nice tonking the ball. Wants to dedicate this award to his family and friends. Stresses that his only focus is to play the Indian T20 League and make sure that India win the World Cup.
Victorious Mumbai skipper, Rohit Sharma, says that every game is important and after losing 2 games at the start, every match is even more important now. Does not want the headache of needing to win all the games towards the end. Praises his side for being on the money right from ball 1. On getting to 170, Sharma agrees that he did not think that was enough but it was a fighting total. During the break, he thought that if Mumbai could pick up early wickets, they could apply pressure and that is exactly what happened. On Behrendorff and Rahul Chahar, he praises the Aussie for leading the new-ball attack well, giving two wickets which were crucial. On Chahar, he feels sorry for him as the leggie was finding it tough to grip the wet ball and with Dhoni and Jadhav in the middle, he had to take Rahul off the attack and get seamers back on.
Kieron Pollard now comes up for a chat with Kevin Pietersen. Praises the Pandya brothers for doing consistently well. On his catch, he says that he always tries to make a difference at whatever opportunity. On his batting role, Pollard says that it varies according to different situations. On him not bowling, Kieron asks KP to ask that to Rohit Sharma. Says that Mumbai dwell on momentum. Observes that in all the games, they have batted well, scoring above 170. Hopes to take this momentum into the next game against Hyderabad. On Hardik Pandya's long hits, Pollard says that Hardik has a clear mind and hits the ball really hard. Hence, the team keeps encouraging him to keep batting the same way.
Chennai skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni says that quite a few things went wrong for them. Adds that they started well, were on top till the 12th-13th over but after that, the death bowling was not that great. Defends his bowlers as they are ones who rely more on yorkers and do not bowl back of a length. On the team meetings, MS says that they rarely have team meetings. Says further that one needs to assess which were the boundaries that could have been cut off in this game. On the change of momentum during the latter stage of the first innings, Dhoni feels that it does not matter and a team needs to start well with the bat during a run chase. On the upcoming game, MSD says that the pitch will have to be studied and also the fitness of some of the players as Bravo suffered a hamstring niggle in this match.
Mumbai sized up the pitch quite well. They had bowlers who could hit the deck hard and they prospered. Behrendorff struck early with his 2 scalps while Hardik Pandya provided the change in momentum, ripping through the middle order, taking 3 wickets. Towards the end, Malinga helped himself to a couple, finishing with 3 wickets overall.
Watch out for this guy - Jason Behrendorff. He made an impact for Australia against India in his debut T20I, getting Virat Kohli caught for a duck. Here, he made an impact on League debut, getting Rayudu in his opening over and then Raina later on. Being rocked at 33/3, Chennai looked for some stability and Dhoni and Jadhav provided that. But with the required rate mounting, the pressure eventually got to Dhoni and then, the side started to slip. Kedar Jadhav played a lone hand, scoring 58 but nothing much from the rest.
Supreme display of cricket by Mumbai to get to the century-mark in terms of wins. Not quite in the game for 14 overs but then superior quality exhibition in the next 26. Hardik and Pollard's explosion towards the end with the bat left Chennai gasping for breath and then they were choked further by some excellent fast bowling.
Hardik Pandya to Mohit Sharma. Wide outside off, another slash and a miss. MUMBAI WIN BY 37 RUNS AND REGISTER THEIR 100TH WIN IN THE INDIAN T20 LEAGUE!
