0.1 to Q de Kock, Over the wicket, shorter in length and gets it to swerve away from wide of off, he slashes at it and feathers it to the keeper, ideal start for Mumbai Huge scalp, always a big wicket but that's how he plays, if it's in his arc, he won't hold himself back, just a little too far and he was lured into a hack. 0/1
16.5 to JM Coles, That's the Trent Boult we are so used to seeing! Stumps shattered, what a sight for the bowler, he gave himself room and tried to clatter it out into the covers, demolishes him with a yorker moving away from middle and off, right into the blockhole, perfect bowling at death. 114/6
18.4 to S Muthusamy, Tries to reverse lap and misses it altogether, off-stump disturbed, once again terrific death bowling, not giving an inch of width, tried some improvisation and didn't connect as he desired. 128/8
302016.66800
3.6 to JM Bairstow, Shuffles across and attempts to flick it across the line behind square, but ends up getting trapped in the crease and squared up, getting rapped on the left pad, pinned right in front and umpire raises the finger in agreement. KG has been in stellar form, living to his credo, another massive wicket! Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting middle-stump. 24/2
403418.50900
10.1 to J Hermann, Around the wicket, Sunrisers continue to lose the plot, another one bites the dust. Loopy one down leg and once again his smart variations induces an error, he gets a top edge and is taken by Jason Smith at deep fine. Cleared front leg and was trying to club it behind square, just not able to control the shot fully till the end. 57/4
403448.501120
5.4 to MP Breetzke, Slackens his pace and flabbergasts him with the cunning change of pace, hits the deck hard and doesn't allow him to break free, he tries to pull it downtown and ends up getting hit high on the bat and taken by Hendricks at mid-on, safely pouched, gone after a start. MICT right on top!. 32/3
12.1 to T Stubbs, MICT on fire, Bosch on fire! Wickets continue to tumble! Tries to attack and spank it past point and ends up giving a simple catch to Piedt at backward point, got a quick shorter one with a bit of width, came down the track and wanted to break his shackles, ended up miscuing a cut, another soft dismissal. 69/5
17.5 to M Jansen, Oh, lovely camaraderie, the South Africa teammates embrace each other as Jansen miscues the skier, got a low full-toss into the pads and he lifts it in the air, taken at deep midwicket region by J Smith - who has been a livewire in the field, such a crucial knock, he has resurrected Sunrisers' innings, was cramped for room on this occasion, Bosch watched his feet movement very closely. 123/7
19.4 to AF Milne, Tries a yorker, ends up bowling a low dipping full-toss on middle and off, clears front leg and wanted to clear long-on and got a thick edge, found Nicky P at long-on who sprints in to take a wonderful catch. 135/9

402325.751500
2.5 to HE van der Dussen, That's no good, fails to capitalize on the reprieve, tries to force his case on him, it was a hard-ish length ball on a nagging off-stump line, slapped straight to Stubbs at mid-off, was a slowish delivery with not much pace, he stepped leg.side and tried to spank it over extra cover. 10/1
4.1 to RD Rickelton, Looks like it's Jansen's day! Over the wicket, thumped hard into the surface and cramps him for room, he takes it on his ego and tries to put him under pressure, perishes in the process, hits him high on the bat and plonks it straight to Muthusamy at mid-on, they want a bonus point and that is why we see this extra intent and charge, backfiring at the moment though. 19/2
302618.661010
13.4 to GF Linde, His ebullience comes to an end, fuller in the slot outside off, plinked out to Jansen at long-off, great cameo but not enough to give them a good chance to chase till the 16th, created room, was camped on the backfoot and eyed long-off boundary. 96/4
402917.251000
18.6 to RR Hendricks, drops the pace and the change in pace works like a charm, length-ish ball floating in the corridor outside off, throws his bat at it and taken by the man at deep cover, flashed the cut but sent straight to Van Buuren - the sub. Now then, where is this game heading?. 136/7
302006.66410

8.2 to N Pooran, Looped up fuller and skidding on at middle, goes down on one knee and pummels the slog sweep, knew he was in trouble, tantalizingly in the air for an eternity and it was a tough catch at deep midwicket. Almost cleared the fence, found Breetzke to perfection, the lone man patrolling that region. 52/3
16.6 to KA Pollard, Stesp to the leg-side and he bowls a teasing shortish ball that slid across off, he reaches out and he launches the ball flat and hard to Stubbs at long-off. Giving a sniff to Sunrisers, let's see if there's any twist left in this game. Closed face and bit of toe-end, got top-spin to contend. 125/5
201316.50300
17.6 to JF Smith, Doesn't matter, he takes matters in his own hands and the dreadful rattle means he has to go back tot he pavillion. Shortish ball curling back at middle, he went leg-side to cut and got bowled. With hopes low and exit from the tournament guaranteed, it might have made them bogged down and the low spirits could be a factor why they are in a bit of a bother here. 132/6
