Cricket Scorecard

All in readiness for the chase to begin.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

The pitch has offered some turn, and apart from the odd ball holding up a bit, it hasn’t been particularly difficult to bat on. GT's top three have done the heavy lifting, and MI will believe that if they can dismiss them cheaply, they can target the untested middle and lower order. For GT, the focus will be on their opening pair to get the chase underway and calm those early nerves. Back in a bit for the chase.

Rashid Khan is in for a chat. He says he is feeling like he was close to his best, maybe around 70-75 per cent. Feels he has missed the length many times, and that’s why he has gone for runs, and today he focused on his lengths, and that’s why he got some good results.

At 89/2 at the halfway mark, MI looked well placed, but the innings unravelled quickly once the partnership was broken. From a commanding position at 97/2, they collapsed to 123/7. First, Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan made key breakthroughs, followed by the pairing of Gerald Coetzee and Prasidh Krishna. With a few lusty blows towards the end, Corbin Bosch helped MI cross 150, but the platform they had laid for themselves promised a lot more.

Earlier, after winning the toss, the Gujarat Titans struck early by removing both openers. It could have been an even better start had they held on to their chances, with three catches going down in the Powerplay. Will Jacks, dropped on 0 and 29, cashed in, as did Suryakumar Yadav, who was let off on 10. The duo laid a strong platform with a 71-run stand.

A final-over flourish for MI, but overall, it was an innings that promised a lot but left much to be desired. The last 10 overs saw MI score only 66 runs and lose 6 wickets. Given the fielding lapses in the Powerplay, GT will be quite pleased to have restricted MI to 155.

Prasidh Krishna to Deepak Chahar, ! Deepak Chahar finishes on a high and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have a score on board. Prasidh Krishna goes short of a length at the death again and bowls it around off. Chahar fetches the ball and clobbers it wide of deep mid-wicket and strikes it well enough to beat a chasing Rashid Khan to his left. 18 off the final over and MI finish with 155/8 on the board!

Prasidh Krishna to Karn Sharma, Back of a length over middle and leg, Karn Sharma looks to lean back and pull but mistimes it through wide mid-wicket for a single.

Karn Sharma walks in as MI's impact sub. Rohit Sharma has been subbed out.

Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, SAFE! A better throw and that would have been curtains for Deepak Chahar! Full and straight, Bosch jams it across to mid-wicket and sets off for the single before deciding against it. Sai Sudharsan with a quick pick up but a sluggish throw at the bowler's end. Prasidh Krishna collects it and whips off the bails but replays show that Chahar had just managed to get back in time.

Prasidh Krishna to Deepak Chahar, Very full and on the pads, flicked away down to fine leg for a single.

Prasidh Krishna to Deepak Chahar, No run.

Deepak Chahar walks in at number 9.

Prasidh Krishna to Naman Dhir, ! CAUGHT! That is such a difficult length to go after and Prasidh Krishna picks up his 20th wicket of the campaign, the first one to do so in the 2025 IPL season.

Prasidh Krishna to Naman Dhir, No run.

Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Full and straight, angling it in, Bosch flicks it straight to mid-wicket and sets off for the single. Dhir sends him back but a direct hit from Mohammed Siraj would still have been curtains for Bosch.

Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Excellent work in the deep from Sai Kishore but he seems to have hurt himself here.

Corbin Bosch walks out to the middle.

Gerald Coetzee to Tilak Varma, ! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal and Gerald Coetzee picks up a wicket in his very first over. This is pitched up around off, but Coetzee generally hits the deck hard, which means the ball rises up after pitching. Tilak Varma stays put and crouches before trying to swat it flat over mid off, but gets no elevation on it. Shubman Gill at mid off just puts his hands up over his head and nonchalantly takes the catch. MI in a spot of bother at 113/6!

Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Pitched up, full and wide outside off, Naman Dhir reaches out and slashes it down to deep third for a single.

Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Hits the deck hard, bowling it back of a length and outside off, Dhir crunches it square on the off side but finds the cover-point fielder.

Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Oh, confusion in the middle! Hard length over middle, Naman just drops the ball in front of short mid-wicket and looks to stroll for the single. The batters realize that Mohammed Siraj is way closer to the ball and scamper straight back.

STRATEGIC BREAK! The fall of three quick wickets has forced the Mumbai Indians to rebuild at a stage when they would have ideally looked to accelerate. Gujarat Titans have pulled things back well through their spinners and will now look to tighten the screws with two new batters at the crease. The pitch hasn’t shown any real signs of difficulty, and MI have squandered a solid foundation.

Gerald Coetzee to Tilak Varma, Begins with a full-pitched delivery around off, Varma gets low and drives it through mid off for a single.

Sai Kishore to Tilak Varma, 1 run.

Shubman Gill discusses it with the bowler and the wicket-keeper and they go for the review. Third umpire on screen. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking coming up. Pitching in line, impact in line and wickets missing as the ball is going over the leg stump. Gujarat Titans lose the review. NOT is the call!

Reviewed! That was the googly from Rashid Khan and seemed to be hitting Will Jacks right in front of the stumps. Not Out given on the field by the umpire, maybe turning too much? Shubman Gill has taken the review. The third umpire comes into play and first of all, there's clearly no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows that there is some turn and bounce in the deck and wickets are umpire's call. Jacks survives again as NOT comes up on the big screen.

Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, 1 run.

Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, Overpitched on off, Will Jacks drives it over the bowler's head to the right of long off, who puts in a good dive running to his right and saves two. Mohammed Siraj the fielder.

Strategic Break! Mumbai Indians are 56/2 after the Powerplay, and it looks like a decent start, but it could have been disastrous. Gujarat Titans have put down 3 regulation catches so far, with Will Jacks getting a couple of lives and Suryakumar Yadav also getting one. Arshad Khan has bowled exceptionally well, but if you give a team like MI so many chances, sooner or later, it could almost certainly come back to bite you. GT need to be headstrong and put those dropped catches behind them,Â

A slight halt in the play. Not quite sure why but the umpire has a word with Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma, probably because DRS might be down at the moment.

Arshad Khan to Rohit Sharma, Tailing back into the pads, on a length, Rohit Sharma fails to help it away and wears it on the front pad. An optimistic shout for LBW from Arshad Khan but that was always going down the leg side.

Mohammed Siraj to Will Jacks, No run.

Mohammed Siraj to Will Jacks, Four!

Mohammed Siraj to Will Jacks, ! Sai Sudharsan puts it down! Easier chance than the previous one, but Sai could not quite hold on. Will Jacks gets an early life.

Mohammed Siraj to Ryan Rickelton, ! TAKEN! Mohammed Siraj with an early success for GT!

Gujarat Titans (Playing XI) - Shubman Gill (C), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK), Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan (In for Washington Sundar), Sai Kishore, Gerald Coetzee, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.

Impact subs nominated by GT - Sherfane Rutherford, Washington Sundar, Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror and Dasun Shanaka.

Impact subs nominated by MI - Karn Sharma, Reece Topley, Robin Minz, Raj Angad Bawa and Ashwani Kumar.

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton(WK), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(C), Naman Dhir, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.

The skipper of the Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya, says that they were looking to bowl first as well. Mentions that there's a slight breeze this evening, which is a bit unusual, so bowling second might not be a bad option either.

The Gujarat Titans' skipper, Shubman Gill, says that they will bowl first. Adds that the wicket won't change much but it's always good to know how much you need to chase. Mentions that the talk has been all about turning up on the given day. Informs that they have one change with Arshad Khan coming back in for Washington Sundar. On Kagiso Rabada, Gill mentions that he just came back, so he might require a couple of more practice sessions. Ends by speaking on Sai Kishore's role and is happy that

TOSS - Shubman Gill calls it correctly and the Gujarat Titans have elected to BOWL first.

All in readiness for the chase to begin.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

The pitch has offered some turn, and apart from the odd ball holding up a bit, it hasn’t been particularly difficult to bat on. GT's top three have done the heavy lifting, and MI will believe that if they can dismiss them cheaply, they can target the untested middle and lower order. For GT, the focus will be on their opening pair to get the chase underway and calm those early nerves. Back in a bit for the chase.

Rashid Khan is in for a chat. He says he is feeling like he was close to his best, maybe around 70-75 per cent. Feels he has missed the length many times, and that’s why he has gone for runs, and today he focused on his lengths, and that’s why he got some good results.

At 89/2 at the halfway mark, MI looked well placed, but the innings unravelled quickly once the partnership was broken. From a commanding position at 97/2, they collapsed to 123/7. First, Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan made key breakthroughs, followed by the pairing of Gerald Coetzee and Prasidh Krishna. With a few lusty blows towards the end, Corbin Bosch helped MI cross 150, but the platform they had laid for themselves promised a lot more.

Earlier, after winning the toss, the Gujarat Titans struck early by removing both openers. It could have been an even better start had they held on to their chances, with three catches going down in the Powerplay. Will Jacks, dropped on 0 and 29, cashed in, as did Suryakumar Yadav, who was let off on 10. The duo laid a strong platform with a 71-run stand.

A final-over flourish for MI, but overall, it was an innings that promised a lot but left much to be desired. The last 10 overs saw MI score only 66 runs and lose 6 wickets. Given the fielding lapses in the Powerplay, GT will be quite pleased to have restricted MI to 155.

Prasidh Krishna to Deepak Chahar, ! Deepak Chahar finishes on a high and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have a score on board. Prasidh Krishna goes short of a length at the death again and bowls it around off. Chahar fetches the ball and clobbers it wide of deep mid-wicket and strikes it well enough to beat a chasing Rashid Khan to his left. 18 off the final over and MI finish with 155/8 on the board!

Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, ! RUN OUT! That is sensational work from Jos Buttler and Corbin Bosch has to depart after a fighting knock.

Prasidh Krishna to Naman Dhir, No run.

Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Full and straight, angling it in, Bosch flicks it straight to mid-wicket and sets off for the single. Dhir sends him back but a direct hit from Mohammed Siraj would still have been curtains for Bosch.

Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Excellent work in the deep from Sai Kishore but he seems to have hurt himself here.

Is that a boundary?

Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Oh, beaten! Perfect length in the channel outside off, inviting the drive. Bosch goes for it but the ball zips off the deck and beats the outside edge.

Gerald Coetzee to Tilak Varma, ! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal and Gerald Coetzee picks up a wicket in his very first over. This is pitched up around off, but Coetzee generally hits the deck hard, which means the ball rises up after pitching. Tilak Varma stays put and crouches before trying to swat it flat over mid off, but gets no elevation on it. Shubman Gill at mid off just puts his hands up over his head and nonchalantly takes the catch. MI in a spot of bother at 113/6!

Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Pitched up, full and wide outside off, Naman Dhir reaches out and slashes it down to deep third for a single.

Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Hits the deck hard, bowling it back of a length and outside off, Dhir crunches it square on the off side but finds the cover-point fielder.

Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Oh, confusion in the middle! Hard length over middle, Naman just drops the ball in front of short mid-wicket and looks to stroll for the single. The batters realize that Mohammed Siraj is way closer to the ball and scamper straight back.

STRATEGIC BREAK! The fall of three quick wickets has forced the Mumbai Indians to rebuild at a stage when they would have ideally looked to accelerate. Gujarat Titans have pulled things back well through their spinners and will now look to tighten the screws with two new batters at the crease. The pitch hasn’t shown any real signs of difficulty, and MI have squandered a solid foundation.

Gerald Coetzee to Tilak Varma, Begins with a full-pitched delivery around off, Varma gets low and drives it through mid off for a single.

Sai Kishore to Tilak Varma, 1 run.

Pitching in line, impact in line and wickets missing as the ball is going over the leg stump. Gujarat Titans lose the review. NOT is the call!

Reviewed! That was the googly from Rashid Khan and seemed to be hitting Will Jacks right in front of the stumps. Not Out given on the field by the umpire, maybe turning too much? Shubman Gill has taken the review. The third umpire comes into play and first of all, there's clearly no bat involved.

Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, 1 run.

Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, Overpitched on off, Will Jacks drives it over the bowler's head to the right of long off, who puts in a good dive running to his right and saves two. Mohammed Siraj the fielder.

Strategic Break! Mumbai Indians are 56/2 after the Powerplay, and it looks like a decent start, but it could have been disastrous. Gujarat Titans have put down 3 regulation catches so far, with Will Jacks getting a couple of lives and Suryakumar Yadav also getting one. Arshad Khan has bowled exceptionally well, but if you give a team like MI so many chances, sooner or later, it could almost certainly come back to bite you.
