... THE RUN CHASE ...

A mountain to climb - Well, if MI unleashed a 'Jacks Ryan' show in the first inning, get ready for 'Travishek' to take the centre stage in the run chase. No target is big enough when this deadly duo gets going well. They have chased down some mammoth totals before and will fancy their chances on a batting paradise like this. For Mumbai, the math is simple, get these two blokes out early in the restrictions and take the lead in the game. How much role will the dew play? It will be interesting to watch. Back in a bit with the chase.

MI's impactful opener is up for a chat - Will Jacks says he is happy to be back and credits the pitch for allowing both batters to play with freedom. He calls Rickelton's innings a fine one. Jacks points out that Ryan came in as a late replacement after Quinton de Kock fell ill, and feels that kind of last-minute call-up can sometimes work in a batter's favour. On the surface, Jacks describes Wankhede as a batting paradise in his experience and acknowledges that MI have their work cut out despite posting a big total. On the bowling plans, Jacks notes that the Sunrisers bowled slow bouncers effectively, making it hard to hit even during the Powerplay. He admits that high scores have been chased in this tournament and stresses that MI will need to bowl well to defend it.

Rickelton's century powers MI to a huge score - Eshan Malinga, amid all the onslaught, bowled with real control and impressed yet again, finishing with 1/30 in 4 overs. His spell brought some discipline to MI's middle overs. But Rickelton was in a different zone altogether. He reached his maiden IPL century with absolute fluency and stayed unbeaten on 123. And with Hardik promoting himself ahead of Tilak to maximum effect, the two kept squeezing out big overs from the other end to push MI towards 243/5.

Intent with positive ball striking - This is exactly what Mumbai Indians had been missing all season. Rickelton and Jacks arrived as a fresh opening pair and wasted no time announcing themselves, matching each other shot for shot and hitting with real ferocity to give MI a flying start. The bowlers found no grip, no movement, nothing to work with, and the two simply feasted on anything in the slot. Their effort produced a 78-run Powerplay, the second-best MI have managed this season. Nitish Reddy eventually prised them apart, breaking a 93-run opening stand, and the wicket of SKY shortly after saw MI slip from 93/0 to 110/2. But Rickelton refused to let the momentum die. He kept swinging, brought up a well-deserved half-century, and kept the hosts firmly afloat.

A Rickelton special Wankhede - The T20 landscape has shifted so dramatically that even 230-240 was being discussed as potentially insufficient on a surface this good. But Rickelton's last over assault has pushed MI beyond 240, which gets them back with some momentum at halfway. And according to the on-air commentator, Harsha Bhogle, Rickelton has now mounted the highest individual score by any MI batter in the history of IPL. So it was indeed a special knock from the MI opener just when his side is desperate for a win. Sunrisers bowled well in patches but never managed to string together a sustained quiet phase, and ultimately paid the price for it. They conceded 41 runs in the last 4 overs and might feel they have given away a few too many towards the end.

Praful Hinge to Ryan Rickelton, FOUR! A boundary to finish the innings! Praful Hinge bowls a slower bumper, around leg, Ryan Rickelton looks to pull it away but gets a top edge just over the keeper's reach to the fine leg fence for four runs. Mumbai Indians end up on 243/5.

Praful Hinge to Ryan Rickelton, SIX! Connects well this time! Praful Hinge serves another full toss, but does not get away with it. Ryan Rickelton backs away a bit and smacks it over the bowler's head for half a dozen more.

Praful Hinge to Robin Minz, Run out chance...missed! Another low full toss, on off, Robin Minz swings at it but gets an inside edge onto his pads as the ball drops dead on the pitch. Ryan Rickelton calls him for the run, and Hinge runs forward as well towards the ball. However, he fails to pick up the ball and breaks the stumps with just his hands. Rickelton was a goner if Praful grabbed the ball cleanly.

Tilak falls right after changing his bat. Last night, we saw Shreyas Iyer too, getting dismissed after a change of willow. Robin Minz walks in at number 7.

Praful Hinge to Tilak Varma, OUT! TAKEN! Change of bats does not work for Tilak Varma. Praful Hinge serves this fuller and just around off. Tilak extends his arms to get under it and targets the straighter boundary, but gets it more from the bottom half of the bat. It goes up in the air towards long off, where Heinrich Klaasen moves to his left and takes a safe reverse cup catch. MI are 232/5, three balls left.

Change of bat for Tilak Varma. The reserve player from the MI dugout rushes out with multiple options for Tilak to select from. He picks one and it passes the gauge test. Good to resume again.

Praful Hinge to Ryan Rickelton, A low full toss, on off, pretty hard to put those away. Ryan Rickelton fails to make the most of it and slices it towards long off for a single. A tired-looking shot!

Praful Hinge to Ryan Rickelton, Follows the batter, serves this full and angling into the leg side, Ryan Rickelton using his wrists whips it wide of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

Sakib Hussain is substituted by Aniket Verma

That was a spectacular penultimate over from Sakib. A single-digit over is like gold dust at this moment. Praful Hinge (3-0-40-1) will wrap it up. How many can MI get out of the last six legal balls? Let's see. Rickelton looks a bit tired, but the halt has come at a good time for him to take a bit of a breather. SRH use their impact sub. Aniket Verma comes in and Sakib Hussain has been subbed out. Good to continue now.

Sakib Hussain to Tilak Varma, Despite the first-ball six, just 8 runs off the over and a wicket as well! Sakib Hussain hits the length hard again, takes pace off, this one keeps a bit low as well. Tilak Varma has a swipe across the line but misses it.

Sakib Hussain to Ryan Rickelton, Short of a length and around off, slower as well, Ryan Rickelton pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Sakib Hussain to Tilak Varma, Back of a length and on middle, Tilak Varma heaves it off the inner half of the bat to deep square leg for a single.

Sakib Hussain to Tilak Varma, Good comeback! Sakib Hussain sees the batter move across and bangs this hard into the pitch, on middle and leg. Tilak Varma looks to hook it over fine leg but makes no contact.

Sakib Hussain to Tilak Varma, SIX! That is some way to get going! Sakib Hussain misses his mark and bowls this full and around middle. Tilak Varma stays deep inside his crease, gets under it and clobbers it over the long on fence for a biggie.

Skipper Hardik goes out after a breezy knock. In walks Tilak Varma at number 6.

Sakib Hussain to Hardik Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! Sakib Hussain with a key wicket for his team, and at a crucial time as well. He goes fuller and wide outside off. Hardik Pandya arches his back, trying to hit it through the line but loses his shape a bit while playing the shot. He fails to get the elevation, and the ball flies flat and straight towards long off, where Heinrich Klaasen pouches it safely. A perfect illustration of the fielder not moving an inch. End of a quick cameo from the MI skipper, and they are 221/4 now.

Righto, 2 overs to go. Cummins is bowled out, Malinga has just wrapped up his spell. So highly likely, the two rookies will be finishing it off with the ball. It will be Sakib Hussain who will bowl the penultimate over. 2-0-31-0 so far.

Eshan Malinga to Hardik Pandya, Finishes the over well! Hard length and around off, Hardik Pandya flat-bats it down to long off for just one more. Eshan Malinga ends yet another impressive spell with figures of 4-0-29-1.

Eshan Malinga to Hardik Pandya, Well bowled! Eshan Malinga executes the wide yorker perfectly, outside off, the ball goes past even before Hardik Pandya gets his bat down.

Eshan Malinga to Ryan Rickelton, Full toss, on middle, Ryan Rickelton cannot get under it and mistimes the lofted shot down to long on for another run.

Eshan Malinga to Ryan Rickelton, WIDE! Tries the bouncer, on middle, Ryan Rickelton hops up to pull it away but misses. The umpire calls it a wide for height. However, Eshan Malinga convinces his skipper to take the review. The replay with the Ball Tracker shows that the ball is passing well over the head of Rickelton. UltraEdge also shows no spike. The on-field decision stands. SRH lose a review.

Eshan Malinga to Hardik Pandya, Short of a length and outside off, Hardik Pandya slaps it to sweeper cover for a run.

Eshan Malinga to Hardik Pandya, WIDE! Pace off, back of a length but way outside off, Hardik Pandya lets it go.

Eshan Malinga to Hardik Pandya, Much fuller and on middle, Hardik Pandya stays deep in the crease and bunts it down the ground past the bowler and between long on and long off for a brace. The 50-run partnership comes up between this pair.

Eshan Malinga to Hardik Pandya, SIX! Gets hold of that one! Eshan Malinga misses the yorker just by a yard or so, serves this in the slot, on middle. Hardik Pandya clears his front leg and launches it over the long on fence for a biggie.

Top-drawer stuff from the SRH skipper. He managed to pull things back somewhat in the previous over. Eshan Malinga (3-0-16-1) to bowl out now.
