The whole thrill of the last 5 overs
16th over
Mohit Sharma came to bowl in the 16th over, in which he gave only 4 runs. The turning point of the match also came in this over because on the fifth ball of the over, Dewald Brevis got caught by Mohit. Brevis was at the crease after scoring 46 runs, so his dismissal was a big blow to Mumbai Indians.
17th over
Only 3 runs were scored in the 17th over bowled by Rashid Khan, due to which Mumbai went on the backfoot to a great extent. Only 3 singles came in the over and from here Mumbai needed 36 runs in the last 3 overs.
18th over
The 18th over was also given to Mohit Sharma. Mohit had conceded 9 runs in the first 4 balls of the over. It seemed as if Mumbai was making a comeback in the match, but then Tim David also got caught by Miller on the last ball of the over.
19th and crucial over
The 19th and crucial over was bowled by Spencer Johnson, who had been thrashed a lot earlier. Although Tilak Verma hit a huge six on his first ball, Tilak lost his wicket on the second ball while trying to play a big shot. Johnson’s over yielded 8 runs and Mumbai Indians needed 19 runs in the last over.
20th over
In the 20th over, captain Hardik Pandya had to play big shots against Umesh Yadav. A six on the first ball and a four on the second ball had once again raised Mumbai’s hopes, but due to a shot played with wrong timing on the third ball, Hardik got caught at long-on. Piyush Chawla also returned to the pavilion on the very next ball. Umesh Yadav could not complete the hattrick, but he definitely ensured Gujarat’s victory by 6 runs.
