Batting: Mumbai Indians
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.3 | FOUR | Hazlewood to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, stylish shot! on the middle and leg and he whips it away to fine leg, one leg was in the air and that made it look even better | 12/0 |
| 3.1 | FOUR | Starc to Tendulkar, FOUR, Tendulkar goes aerial. Width on offer, he reaches out and lofts it over backward point, one bounce and over the ropes | 18/0 |
| 5.1 | FOUR | P Cummins to Tendulkar, FOUR, can't bowl there to Tendulkar. Actually, can't bowl there to anyone with fine leg inside the ring. Down the leg side and SRT glances it away | 24/0 |
| 6 | FOUR | P Cummins to Tendulkar, FOUR, a lot of action in one delivery! Lumb has just put in a comical fielding effort and has injured himself in the process as well. Tendulkar chipped it over cover and the ball trickles towards the ropes, Lumb chased and got to the ball but dived a bit early and missed it, the ball went to the fence and Lumb injured his knee in the process. Lumb is walking off the field | 30/0 |
| 6.3 | SIX | Henriques to Dwayne Smith, SIX, whoa! That sound when the ball hit the bat.... short delivery and Smith just smashed the pull shot over deep square leg. Huge six, that should make him feel good | 38/0 |
| 7.3 | SIX | O'Keefe to Tendulkar, SIX, that's the Tendulkar we know. Comes down the track to the pitch of the ball and lofts it straight down the ground, superb use of the feet and timing as well | 48/0 |
| 7.5 | OTHER | O'Keefe to Dwayne Smith, 1 run, works it to square leg, the 50 is up | 50/0 |
| 8.2 | OUT | Henriques to Dwayne Smith, out Caught by Nevill!! That's smashed to the fielder! He connected it so well but holed out. Right in the slot, Smith gets under it and clubs it flat and straight to long on. Dwayne Smith c Nevill b Henriques 26(28) [4s-1 6s-1] | 52/1 |
| 8.5 | OUT | Henriques to Tendulkar, out Bowled!! Tendulkar is bowled again. Oh dear. A slow leg cutter from Henriques, lands on length and straightens a bit, Tendulkar's feet don't move an inch and he tries to run it down to third man, the ball goes past his bat and hits off stump. 2 wickets in this over already - Tendulkar's poor tournament ends. Tendulkar b Henriques 22(23) [4s-3 6s-1] | 53/2 |
| 10.5 | SIX | N McCullum to Rohit Sharma, SIX, the release shot. A short ball from N McCullum and sbat pulls it over deep square leg, poor delivery that | 61/2 |
| 12 | FOUR | O'Keefe to Rohit Sharma, FOUR, superb placement. Short and just wide outside off, Sharma went back, waited for it and cut it to deep backward point, picked his spot perfectly on that occasion | 68/2 |
| 12.2 | FOUR | Hazlewood to Rohit Sharma, FOUR, beautiful timing! Width on offer and he steers it wide of backward point, it was in the air but he placed it well, timed it even better | 73/2 |
| 13.1 | OUT | P Cummins to Dinesh Karthik, out Rohit Sharma Run Out!! Rohit Sharma is fuming as he leaves but he has only himself to blame there. DK defended it and the ball rolled to the on side, DK didn't know where the ball went and took a step out, Rohit had already come running in a long way by then, Cummins was quick, ran to the ball and hit direct at the bowler's end.

| 15.5 | OUT | P Cummins to Pollard, out Caught by Haddin!! A huge wicket. And a superb catch too. Short and wide outside off, Pollard looked to slap it to the on side from there, only managed a thick edge which flew to the keeper, Haddin dived to his right and took it. It's getting tougher for Mumbai. Pollard c Haddin b P Cummins 4(9) | 89/4 |
| 16.1 | FOUR | Henriques to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR, Mumbai need DK to do this. Short and wide outside off, he slashes it hard and gets it wide of third man. Good start to the over | 93/4 |
| 16.2 | OUT | Henriques to Dinesh Karthik, out Dinesh Karthik Run Out!! Karthik may call himself unlucky but he surely has only himself to blame there. He came down the track and drove this to mid off, looks for a quick single but runs straight towards the bowler, he then tries to change direction and takes the longer route, but there is a direct hit in the meantime. DK was seeing Henriques, while Henriques was watching the ball, so can't really blame the bowler there. Result: another wicket. Dinesh Karthik run out (N McCullum) 18(18) [4s-2] | 93/5 |
| 17.2 | FOUR | Starc to Rayudu, FOUR, edges will help too. Full and outside off, Rayudu throws his bat at it and gets a thick edge which goes wide of the keeper to third man | 100/5 |

| 18 | OUT | Starc to Rayudu, out Caught by Steven Smith!! He made it look easy, Steve Smith. A full toss and Rayudu mistimes the lofted shot behind mid off, Steve Smith is calm, just runs back and takes it easily. What's the fuss? Rayudu c Steven Smith b Starc 6(6) [4s-1] | 102/7 |
| 19 | OUT | P Cummins to Malinga, out Caught by Haddin!! Oh my, that's one of the best catches I've seen in recent times! Stunner from Haddin. And a superb ball too - a bouncer right on the body, Malinga tried to evade it but he got some glove on it, the ball was flying at rapid pace to the left of Haddin but he was quick and plucked it from the air with a dive. Superb effort, and what's his age? 35! Malinga c Haddin b P Cummins 1(4) | 104/8 |
| 19.2 | FOUR | Starc to Harbhajan, FOUR, full and straight, Harbhajan whips it to deep mid wicket, 4 runs. | 108/8 |

| 19.5 | FOUR | Starc to Harbhajan, FOUR, more runs in this over. Yorker on the off, Harbhajan looks to slog across but gets a thick inside edge past Haddin, to the fine leg fence | 120/8 |
| 20 | FOUR | Starc to Harbhajan, FOUR, 4 more to end the match but it's Sydney who are celebrating. Full and on the legs, Harbhajan flicks it to deep backward square leg. Sydney have outplayed Mumbai here, mainly with the ball. | 124/8 |
