CSK’s Batting Innings: Ayush Mhatre stuns on debut; Dube-Jadeja run a rampage through the middle-overs
The Chennai Super Kings were sent in to bat first on their track at Wankhede, which is one of the highest-scoring tracks in India. The average score to be defended at this venue was over 205; however, CSK could manage only 176 runs in their innings.
Mhatre, who came in to bat at no. 3, went on to score a vital 30+ score first up, while he was also electrifying on the field. Jadeja, who was sent up the order alongside Shivam Dube as they scored crucial fifties for their team, eventually handing them the lead, probably had the best batting innings of this edition.
MI’s batting Innings: Rohit and Suryakumar stun at Wankhede
Mumbai Indians scored their best powerplay on the home ground as they chased a target of 177, which didn’t seem threatening on the tracks of Mumbai.
Rohit Sharma defied claims of his probable impact being reduced in the game for the Mumbai Indians as he played a blistering 76* knock and took MI to the target with more than 3 overs remaining.
Suryakumar Yadav, on the other hand, played an even more blistering knock in the game as he swept the spinners continuously either for fours or sixes. SKY’s 68* from just 30 balls came when MI needed another partnership to chase the total after the first wicket fell for 63. This was MI’s first hundred-run partnership in the powerplay.
