SRH vs MI, 69th Match at Mumbai, IPL, May 21 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Over in Bengaluru, Titans have won the toss and will bowl. MI have done their bit to stay alive for now and potentially earn the final playoffs spot. Rajasthan Royals are out. Thanks for tuning in here, take care.

Cameron Green, POTM: Great stand with Rohit, he's experienced. Having his leadership at the other end helped. The setup has been great, I've been well looked after. No pressure despite the price tag. The intent at the top is important, with Ishan and Rohit above and SKY below me. Pollard has helped with range hitting too. When we had 20 to get, I told SKY to finish it. But with two runs to go, we just trickled over the line.

Rohit Sharma, MI Captain: We came with the mindset to win and not worry what happens elsewhere. Just hoping for the best. I haven't spoken to anyone. Even if we don't go through, we got ourselves to blame. If we do, boys get credit. Last year, we did a great favour to RCB. We hope the result there goes our way. We didn't start well but fixed things along the way. If I have to look back, we lost crucial moments and games like against Punjab here and last game vs LSG. We can't look too much into that. Sometimes it doesn't come along which is fair.

Afeef: "Madhwal's spell at the death was very crucial"

MI team doing a lap of honour at the Wankhede.

Suryakumar Yadav: That one at the end was the hardest single I ever took and watched the ball closely. But Green batted brilliantly and deserved the hundred. We didn't have NRR worries and thought it'd be a special ton which it was. We saw what happens when we chased 200 for the first time.We just wanted to restrict themselves and do well in familiar conditions, where the wicket plays completely differently. We were always positive and wanted to have fun. (On his lack of form coming in) I wasn't worried. I was thinking 'what has happened' but I knew what has worked for me focused on things in my control and see how it turned out. (On if intentionally opened the face on 16.3) Yes, I did. I've played that shot in my mind 100-150 times. Now I know I can execute it and I'm glad. Very happy with the way season has gone. Would have been happier if we had qualified already.

Aiden Markram: Not the campaign we hoped for. Decent start with the bat but sadly we couldn't get over 200. Guys tried well but fell short at the end. Lot of learnings along the way, we have a great group of guys. The pressures are high and things get under the microscope but I've learned a lot. Vivrant was great, he and guys like Klaasy and Bhuvi were consistent.

7:22pm: Rajasthan Royals are out and Mumbai Indians help themselves to a victory with backs to the wall. MI now need RCB to lose to GT or for the game to be washed out. RCB need a win but the toss has been delayed in Bengaluru due to rain. In Mumbai, the hosts made light work of a 200 chase. Rohit found some form, Green steered it through and SKY flew at the end as usual. SRH had very little to write home about. The bowlers didn't hit their straps and the fielders dropped catches. It was a sad end to the innings.
