A Kamboj|4|0|32|3
019.719.6: Anshul Kamboj to Krish Bhagat, From around the stump, Kamboj nails the wide yorker, outside off, Krish Bhagat fails to carve it away and gets beaten on the outside edge. Samson collects the ball and lobs an underarm throw to the bowler, seeing Krish struggling to complete the bye. Anshul collects the ball and releases the throw, but ends up hitting Bhagat instead, who runs to the danger end and comes in the way of the throw, and the ball rolls away. Excellent finish from Kamboj and CSK. Anshul Kamboj finishes off with superb bowling figures, reading 4-0-32-3. Mumbai Indians finish at 159/7.
7 Over | Run: 159/7 | Run Rate: 7.95
119.619.5: Anshul Kamboj to Trent Boult, Full toss, on middle, sliced wide of short third for a single.
619.519.4: Anshul Kamboj to Trent Boult, SIX! Oh, hello? Into the slot, on middle and leg. Trent Boult clears the front leg out of the way and launches it cleanly over deep mid-wicket for a huge six. Free-flowing bat swing from the Kiwi.
019.419.3: Anshul Kamboj to Hardik Pandya, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Hardik's struggles come to an end. Perhaps this is the first ball that he timed well and picked the fielder instead. Kamboj gets his third wicket and is now level with Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the Purple Cap race with 17 wickets. Length ball around middle and leg. Pandya goes deep in his crease and looks to lift it down the ground, but gets more height than distance on it and Brevis at deep mid-wicket settles underneath it and takes a comfortable catch. MI are 151/7, 3 balls left.
019.319.2: Anshul Kamboj to Hardik Pandya, Too full and wide, outside off, from around the stump. Hardik carves it to long off but denies the single.
019.219.2: Anshul Kamboj to Hardik Pandya, WIDE! Sprays it down leg, on a fuller length. Hardik gets inside the line and leaves.
419.119.1: Anshul Kamboj to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Misfield from Noor. Around the wicket, 137.7 kph. Full at the pads from Kamboj. Pandya stays deep in his crease and clips it in front of square on the leg side. Noor at deep square leg runs to his left, dives, but fumbles it and the ball races away for four. 150 UP FOR MUMBAI INDIANS!
118.618.6: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, Back of a length, angled into the pads. Pandya flicks it aerially but Mukesh at deep backward square leg has to come forward and it falls just short and spins the other way but Mukesh does well to stop it by getting down. Single taken, and Hardik keeps the strike. Superb spell from Kamboj comes to an end.
6 Over | Run: 146/6 | Run Rate: 7.68
218.518.5: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, Slow and wide, full in length. Hardik smashes it to the left of the cover fielder. Noor dives to his left, but half stops and the deep backward point fielder cuts it off to his right. Two taken.
018.418.4: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, Hard length delivery around off, 142.5 kph, pitching and climbing sharply. Pandya slashes hard and is beaten, through to the keeper.
018.318.3: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, Oh, goodness! This is a hostile delivery from Overton. Huge nip-backer on a good length, with extra bounce on middle. Hardik Pandya is rushed on the back foot and tries to defend it down, but gets cramped for room and just manages to stab it down off the splice.
118.218.2: Jamie Overton to Krish Bhagat, Around off, on a good length, Krish steers it off the back foot, through cover and backward point for a single.
018.118.1: Jamie Overton to Krish Bhagat, Hits the hard length, does Jamie and gets a good lift as well, on top of leg. Krish Bhagat backs away and tries to pull, but misses. And the ball whistles close to his helmet and Samson gathers it behind.
117.617.6: Anshul Kamboj to Krish Bhagat, Full and straight on middle, Bhagat works it to long on for a single.
6 Over | Run: 142/6 | Run Rate: 7.89
117.517.5: Anshul Kamboj to Hardik Pandya, Tries the yorker, but slips in a low full toss that tails back in. Hardik's head falls over as he clears his front leg but manages to drill it to deep mid-wicket for a single.
117.417.4: Anshul Kamboj to Krish Bhagat, Fuller on middle and leg, driven off the front foot, through the vacant mid on region for a single.
017.317.3: Anshul Kamboj to Krish Bhagat, Nagging length, at the pads. Krish dinks it to mid-wicket.
017.217.2: Anshul Kamboj to Robin Minz, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Wicket number 2 for Kamboj. This is bashed into the surface, on a length, angling just outside off. Robin Minz stands tall and tries to punch it with an angled bat to the off side, through covers, but gets a fat inside edge and the ball crashes back into the stumps. Mumbai Indians are 139/6 and under tremendous pressure now.
417.117.1: Anshul Kamboj to Robin Minz, FOUR! Fine shot! Pitched up and just outside off. Robin Minz crouches low on one knee, extends his arms to reach out for it and carves it over extra covers for a boundary.
116.616.6: Jamie Overton to Robin Minz, Edgy! Fuller and around off, angling away, Robin Minz looks to drive it on the up but gets a thick outside edge towards third man for a run.
6 Over | Run: 135/5 | Run Rate: 7.94
016.516.5: Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, OUT! TAKEN SPECTACULARLY! Sarfaraz Khan takes a fine catch and Overton has the reward for bowling a disciplined spell so far. Slower ball, full around middle. 123.8 kph. Dhir backs away, looking for room, but is deceived by the change of pace from Overton. He is through the shot far too early as he drives at it through the covers. Slices it uppishly, and Sarfaraz at extra cover moves swiftly to his left, times his leap well and takes a fantastic catch. Mumbai Indians are 134/5.
616.416.4: Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, SIX! Easy pickings! Fuller ball angled at the leg stump. Naman Dhir crouches a bit, brings his wrists to play and whips it up and over long leg for a six.
116.316.3: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, Too full on middle and leg, heaved off the inner half to deep mid-wicket for a single.
116.216.2: Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, Hard length around leg. Dhir looks to pull but gets it off the gloves, and it rolls away towards short fine leg for a single.
216.116.1: Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, Sharp bouncer, closer to the off pole, takes off a bit. It takes Dhir by surprise and hurries him into the pull shot. Dhir gets a bit of an outside edge and Samson fails to gather it cleanly to his left, parrying the ball to the short fine leg region. Two taken. It is given as runs and that will be FIFTY FOR NAMAN DHIR! However, UltraEdge later on shows there was no bat involved, as the ball went well above the bat. So, it wasn't a dropped chance from Samson.
015.615.6: Noor Ahmad to Hardik Pandya, Quicker and into the pitch, just outside off. Hardik Pandya punches it out into the off side but fails to get it past covers. Noor finishes a brilliant spell with figures of 4-0-26-2.
6 Over | Run: 124/4 | Run Rate: 7.75

115.415.4: Noor Ahmad to Hardik Pandya, Noor takes a leaf out of Krunal Pandya's book now. Attempted bumper over middle, flat-batted down to long on for a single.
015.315.3: Noor Ahmad to Hardik Pandya, No problem there. Floated up on a nagging length, just outside off. Hardik Pandya goes for the booming drive but the ball bounces a bit more and goes past the outside edge. Sanju Samson is quick to dislodge the bails and there's half an appeal for a stumping. The third umpire has a look at it and checks UltraEdge first. There's no bat involved and then replays show that Pandya had his back leg planted inside the popping crease at all times. NOT OUT.
115.215.2: Noor Ahmad to Naman Dhir, Quicker now, a bit fuller as well and on off. Dhir camps back and tucks it away in front of square leg for a single.

414.114.1: Ramakrishna Ghosh to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Wow, Hardik Pandya gave that the old kitchen sink. Slower one, bowled full and wide outside off. Pandya gets across to reach and has a wild swing but only gets an outside edge that flies wide of the keeper and goes into the deep third fence.
113.613.6: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, Back of a length, on off, punched down through extra covers for a single. Just a bye and two singles in the over, tidy again from CSK.
6 Over | Run: 113/4 | Run Rate: 8.07
013.513.5: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, Another top delivery. Overton bashes the hard length at over 144 clicks and gets the ball to jump off the deck. Hardik Pandya gets squared up as the ball goes quickly past the outside edge.
013.413.4: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, Edged, but lands short! Hard length in the channel, nips away from the right-hander. Hardik Pandya is indecisive and looks to leave it late, but ends up getting an outside edge that goes down to the right of the keeper. Sanju Samson dives across and collects it on the bounce with the right glove.
013.313.3: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, That's brilliant stuff from Overton. Good length at the stumps, at 145.5 kph. Pandya taps it into the deck and Overton just leaps across to his right in the follow-through and collects the ball, having a faking throw at the batter. Pandya is taken aback and scampers back, falling down in the process.
113.213.2: Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, Slower one, attacking middle stump, Dhir stays back and angles the ball away behind square leg for a single.
013.113.1: Jamie Overton to Hardik Pandya, Dug in well short and right at the batter. Pandya rushes down the pitch and then just leaves it alone. Sanju Samson has a fumble behind the stumps, and the batters pinch a bye.

6 Over | Run: 110/4 | Run Rate: 8.46
012.512.5: Noor Ahmad to Tilak Varma, OUT! CAUGHT! That's a brave piece of bowling from Noor Ahmad and he picks up his second wicket. Noor offers more flight on this one and tosses it full and outside off. Tilak Varma is drawn into the drive and looks to smash it over covers but ends up mistiming it badly. The ball gets sliced up around extra cover, where Ruturaj Gaikwad calls for it and pouches it calmly, even though Urvil Patel from cover-point nearly barges into him. Mumbai Indians are 109/4.
112.412.4: Noor Ahmad to Naman Dhir, A slight fumble and the batters get a single. Shortish length outside off, cut away off the outside edge and just to the left of Shivam Dube at short third for a single.

012.112.1: Noor Ahmad to Naman Dhir, Close but not close enough! Nicely bowled by Noor Ahmad, though. Flatter one, on a nagging length and outside off. Naman Dhir lunges across to drive but the ball turns in a bit and goes past the outside edge. Sanju Samson whips off the bails in a flash but replays eventually confirm that Dhir's back leg was inside the popping crease when the bails came off. NOT OUT.
011.611.6: Jamie Overton to Tilak Varma, Another dot! Jamie Overton lands this on a good length and around off, Tilak Varma goes down and across for a premeditated scoop but misses and takes a blow on his left hand.
6 Over | Run: 106/3 | Run Rate: 8.83

311.311.3: Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, Excellent effort! Pitched up and on off, Naman Dhir drills it hard and wide of mid off. Ruturaj Gaikwad puts in a dive to his right and gets a hand on it to take the sting out but the ball still rolls behind him. He gets up and chases after it, and slides forward to push the ball back inside. Three runs taken. The replay shows that it is a clean stop as well.
111.211.2: Jamie Overton to Tilak Varma, Fuller and on middle, Tilak Varma works it off the inner half of the bat through square leg for a single.

010.410.4: Ramakrishna Ghosh to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! A special moment for Ramakrishna Ghosh as he gets his MAIDEN IPL WICKET. He bends his back and bangs this hard into the pitch, just on off. Suryakumar Yadav sways away a bit and tries to cut it away but this is too close to his body and he fails to free his arms fully. He ends up hitting it aerially and straight towards deep point, where Dewald Brevis does not have to move much and takes a good catch. SKY hangs his head back in disbelief but his lean run in this IPL still continues.
110.310.3: Ramakrishna Ghosh to Naman Dhir, Good stop! Good length and around off, Noor Ahmad opens the bat face and guides it wide of point. Prashant Veer dives to his left and saves a certain boundary. Just one!

47.27.2: Prashant Veer to Naman Dhir, FOUR! All class from Dhir! Serves it up there, does Veer. Full and around off. Naman Dhir hits it with the turn, stays leg side of the ball and lofts it inside out over cover for a boundary.

06.46.4: Noor Ahmad to Ryan Rickelton, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Rickelton couldn't have picked a fielder any better there. This is full and tossed up around off. Rickelton gets down on a knee and slog sweeps it, but gets a bit of top edge and airs it straight down the throat of Urvil Patel at deep backward square leg, who makes no mistake. Rickelton's fun comes to an end after a proactive start. Noor looks up at the heavens as he gets his first wicket eventually and MI are 59/2.
06.36.3: Noor Ahmad to Ryan Rickelton, Googly, pitched on a length outside off. Spins back in sharply as Rickelton drops to a knee, gets into a bit of a tangle, and attempts the reverse sweep against the spin. Loses his balance in the process, and the ball rolls away to backward point.
16.26.2: Noor Ahmad to Naman Dhir, PUT DOWN! Dube shells an absolute dolly. Noor is shellshocked and the crowd goes silent as well. A short ball, googly, outside off. Naman tries to cut it away but gets a thick outside edge and the ball lobs to the right of Dube. Shivam moves to his right from short third, but puts it down. A single taken.

Naman Dhir tries to work it across off the back foot, but plays all over it and wears it on the thigh pad. The ball rolls in front of backward point and they cross for a leg bye. A slight appeal for LBW by Mukesh, but nothing doing.
65.25.2: Mukesh Choudhary to Naman Dhir, SIX! Picked and dumped in the stands! Fuller on the leg stump line, Naman Dhir clears the front leg, and uses his wrists to whip it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a cracking six. 50 UP FOR MUMBAI INDIANS!

6 Over | Run: 29/1 | Run Rate: 7.25
03.53.5: Anshul Kamboj to Ryan Rickelton, Wow, Rickelton was gone for all the money there, but Kamboj has hurried the throw here. This is bowled fairly full and wide outside off. Rickelton reaches out and jams it into the deck. The ball goes barely into the off side and Rickelton is off for the single. He realizes there's no chance of a single and turns back but Kamboj gets to the ball quickly and Rickelton gives up. However, Kamboj fails to get the direct hit in and Rickelton is able to jog back into his crease.

41.41.4: Anshul Kamboj to Naman Dhir, FOUR! Oh, that's streaky. A yorker now, around middle stump. Naman Dhir is late to jam a straight bat at it and gets a thickish inside edge that runs down to long leg and rolls into the vacant fence.
01.31.3: Anshul Kamboj to Naman Dhir, A tad fuller now, in and around the off stump, Naman Dhir punches it to the cover fielder.
01.21.2: Anshul Kamboj to Will Jacks, OUT! CAUGHT! What a take from the debutant! Anshul Kamboj bashes the good length and bowls it around the top of off and middle.
