Overview
- Mumbai Indians beat Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets at Wankhede on Monday, overhauling 229 with eight balls left.
- Rohit Sharma, back from a hamstring layoff, hit 84 off 44 and paired with Ryan Rickelton’s 83 for a 143-run opening stand that decided the chase.
- Suryakumar Yadav captained with Hardik Pandya unavailable due to illness/back spasm, and MI brought in Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Raj Bawa and Rohit.
- MI moved to six points but stayed ninth, while LSG remained last on four after a sixth straight loss that now forces them to win out and lift net run rate.
- Rishabh Pant said LSG were 10–15 runs short despite Nicholas Pooran’s 21-ball 63, and Suryakumar praised MI’s bowlers for tightening the middle overs in a season where 200-plus scores are regularly chased.
