Mumbai Indians, thanks to a great bowling performance, have put up an emphatic win over the Super Giants. Jasprit Bumrah returned to some form as he picked up four wickets in the second innings. Corbin Bosch too after an all-round effort found himself among the wickets. 

7:07 PM: A triple-wicket over from Jasprit Bumrah

Lucknow Super Giants are at 142/8 after 16 overs. Need 74 runs in 24 balls. Bishnoi: 1* (2)

Jasprit Bumrah is proving to be almost unplayable on this surface, where other bowlers have gone for runs. The right-arm pacer coming on to bowl his third over has sealed the game for the hosts with three wickets. Not only did he dismiss David Miller in the over picked up two wickets in two balls to end the 16th.

7:00 PM: Trent Boult gets his second wicket

Lucknow Super Giants are at 140/5 after 15 overs. Need 76 runs in 30 balls. Miller: 24* (15), Samad: 1* (2)

Once again, it is Trent Boult who has provided Mumbai Indians with the partnership-breaking wicket. The left-arm pacer, coming on to bowl his third over, dismissed Ayush Badoni on the second ball of the 15th over. 

6:53 PM: Badoni and Miller are making a game out of this

Lucknow Super Giants are at 133/4 after 14 overs. Need 82 runs in 36 balls. Badoni: 35* (20), Miller: 20* (12)

Corbin Bosch making his debut in the Indian Premier League has made a huge impact in the game. After providing a great finish with the bat in the first innings, he has bowled two rather quiet overs for the hosts. The right-arm pacer conceded 17 runs in his 12 balls.

However, this game is nowhere close to being decided. With 82 runs remaining in the last 36 balls, MI are only slight favorites. 

6:43 PM: A great over from Boult

Lucknow Super Giants are at 112/4 after 12 overs. Need 104 runs in 48 balls. Badoni: 33* (18), Miller: 1* (3)

Trent Boult, in the last few games, has been an all-round bowler for the five-time champions. The left-arm pacer has not only bowled with a great amount of control with the new ball but has attacked in the middle overs as well as death overs. Coming on to bowl his second over, Boult dismissed Mitchell Marsh to put LSG further into trouble.

6:32 PM: Badoni getting into his groove

Lucknow Super Giants are at 103/3 after 10 overs. Need 113 runs in 60 balls. Marsh: 33* (21), Badoni: 26* (12)

The two-wicket over from Will Jacks has not only put Mumbai Indians on top of this clash but has put the Super Giants in a double mind about how to pace their innings. However, Ayush Badoni, like the many young players in the Indian Premier League, is playing a blinder of a knock. He welcomed Karn Sharma into his second over with a couple of sixes on the first two balls of the 10th over.

6:19 PM: Will Jacks has turned the game on its head

Lucknow Super Giants are at 67/3 after 7 overs. Need 149 runs in 78 balls. Marsh: 22* (13), Badoni: 2* (2)

The experiment of bowling Will Jacks against Nicholas Pooran has worked brilliantly for the Mumbai Indians and Hardik Pandya. The right-arm off-spinner was brought into the attack right after the power play to bowl against the left-hander. Given how great Pooran has been against spin bowlers this season, it was a brave call from the MI skipper. 

Rishabh Pant, coming in to bat at number four, was once again dismissed for a low score. After smashing a four on the first ball he faced, the left-handed batter attempted a reverse sweep but could not clear the fielders in the 30-yard circle and presented Karn Sharma a catch. 

6:12 PM: A mixed power play for the Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants are at 60/1 after 6 overs. Need 156 runs in 14 overs. Marsh: 21* (12), Pooran: 27* (14)

Nicholas Pooran, after scoring only 28 runs in his last three innings, has bounced back strongly. The left-handed batter struck three sixes in a row in the last over of the power play to put the visitors on top of the Mumbai Indians. 

In spite of losing Aiden Markram in the third over have made sure that they make use of the restrictions in the power play. While the two overs from Jasprit Bumrah went for only 13 runs. However, Deepak Chahar, who bowled three overs in the power play, gave away 38 runs.

6:04 PM: Mitchell Marsh continues with his hard-hitting prowess

Lucknow Super Giants are at 40/1 after 5 overs. Need 176 runs in 15 overs. Marsh: 21* (12), Pooran: 8* (8)

The last time Jasprit Bumrah and Mitchell Marsh faced the Australian batter was dropped from the Australian test team midway through the test series. The first ball Marsh faced from Bumrah today, he smashed a huge six. However, Bumrah too used his wits and bowled slower deliveries, which were pretty hard to hit. 

5:54 PM: Jasprit Bumrah strikes in his first over

Lucknow Super Giants are at 20/1 after 3 overs. Need 196 runs in 17 overs. Marsh: 8* (6), Pooran: 2* (2)

Since his return to the IPL this season, Jasprit Bumrah has mostly bowled in the back-end of the power play. However, given how strong the top order of LSG is, he was called in to bowl the third over. Bumrah did not disappoint his skipper and took only four balls to send Aiden Markram back to the pavilion. His first over went for only a couple of runs as he put his team right on top of this game.

5:48 PM: A decent start for the two LSG openers

Lucknow Super Giants are at 18/0 after 2 overs. Need 198 runs in 18 overs. Marsh: 8* (6), Markram: 9* (7)

Mitchell Marsh has launched Deepak Chahar’s first ball of the innings out of the stadium over the leg side boundary. Feeling the pressure from the six on the first ball, the right-arm pacer overstepped on the very next ball, but luckily for him, it did not cost much. 

One would think that, given the success of Chahar and Boult bowling the first and second over, respectively, in the last few games, was it the right decision to give them different overs? 

5:43 PM: Markam gets going with a couple of fours

Lucknow Super Giants are at 9/0 after 1 over. Need 207 runs in 19 overs. Marsh: 1* (2), Markram: 8* (4)

It's Trent Boult who bowled the first over tonight for the Mumbai Indians. The left-arm pacer was given the over ahead of Deepak Chahar, who was handed the responsibility to bowl the first over in the last few games. Boult, unlike himself, was not on the mark and sprayed a couple of deliveries outside off that were pushed to boundaries by Aiden Markram.

5:23 PM: LSG needs 216 runs to win!

Mumbai Indians, after being put into bat by Rishabh Pant, scored 215 runs in the first innings. Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav were the star performers with the bat in hand for the hosts. Meanwhile, Naman Dhir and Corbin Bosch batting lower down the order provided the finishing touch to the innings. The two right-handed batters put on a hard-hitting display of batting in the last few overs to push Mumbai Indians to a score of more than 200. 

5:08 PM: An expensive spell from Prince Yadav

Mumbai Indians are at 174/5 after 17 overs. Suryakumar: 48* (25), Naman: 11* (7)

Prince Yadav ends an expensive spell with another 12-run over. The right-arm pacer, in spite of picking a wicket, was pretty easy to face for the batters. He repeatedly attempted to bowl a yorker but was more often than not a few inches fuller, giving the batters an easy ball to put away.

5:01 PM: Mayank ends his spell on a high note

Mumbai Indians are at 162/5 after 16 overs. Suryakumar: 45* (22), Naman: 2* (4)

Mayank Yadav’s return to the Indian Premier League was highly awaited. Playing his first match of the season, the right-arm pacer, in spite of being expensive, took some crucial wickets. He dismissed Rohit Sharma in the power play. Now, when the hosts were looking to power through in the final five overs, it only took him one ball to dismiss the opposition skipper. The 22-year-old ended his with the figures of 2/40

The right-arm pacer, known for his extreme speed, has used his variations and bowled some off-pace deliveries to catch batters off guard.

4:51 PM: SKY moving towards another half-century

Mumbai Indians are at 157/4 after 15 overs. Suryakumar: 44* (21), Hardik: 5* (6)

Suryakumar Yadav is inching closer to yet another fifty in the season. He has been the most consistent batter throughout the season. The right-handed batter is the only player this season to have scored more than 25 runs in each game.

4:45 PM: How many runs can MI score in the 1st innings?

Mumbai Indians are at 145/4 after 14 overs. Suryakumar: 35* (18), Hardik: 3* (3)

Mumbai Indians, with the powerful duo of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav at the crease, will be looking at a score of 220 runs in the first innings. The hosts are going at more than 10.5 runs per over already, and with six overs remaining, it will be the time to unleash their hard-hitting prowess.

4:39 PM: Bishnoi ends his spell with a wicket

Mumbai Indians are at 137/4 after 13 overs. Suryakumar: 30* (15)

Ravi Bishnoi, in spite of bowling some threatening deliveries, was going pretty expensive. He ended his spell on a high and ended his spell with a wicket. The leg spinner dismissed Tilak Varma, who attempting a sweep shot but could only connect with the top edge.

4:33 PM: Prince Yadav gets his first wicket

Mumbai Indians are at 121/3 after 12 overs. Suryakumar: 15* (11), Tilak: 5* (3)
Prince Yadav has gotten rid of the dangerous-looking Will Jacks. The right-arm pacer, after conceding 14 runs in his first over, clean bowled the English batter with a yorker that was tailing back into the right-handed batter.

4:27 PM: A big over for MI

Mumbai Indians are at 115/2 after 11 overs. Jacks: 29* (20), Suryakumar: 14* (9)
Ayush Badoni has possibly denied Ravi Bishnoi the prized wicket of Suryakumar Yadav. He was fielding at deep mid-wicket but for some reason was standing ahead of the boundary ropes by a few steps. Had he been right at the cushion, he could have taken a catch, but instead it went for a six.
