Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 51st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Well, well! We have had our share (I seriously meant entertainment) for the night and just like his bowling, Bumrah continues to unleash some pearlers in his post-match chat. I'm sure the broadcasters are keeping a close eye on Bumrah's post-retirement plans. That's that for the night then. Three spots sealed, who's gonna claim that fourth and final spot? Four teams are in contention and tomorrow should give us a clearer picture of the playoffs scenario as KXIP take on KKR in a must-win game. Do remember to join us for that. Until then, this is Raju Peethala bidding sayonara alongside Akshay Maanay, Rishi Roy, Varun Dixit, Sriram AS and our scoring buff Praveen Kumar.

Jasprit Bumrah, Man of the Match: Sometimes the mind can get too negative, but I would like to focus on the ball which I have to bowl and try to keep clarity. If you are clear about the ball you are going to execute and you set the field accordingly and try to keep it as simple as possible. There's always pressure but I think what does the team require of me, so I'm just thinking one ball at a time and what I have to do on that particular ball. We always talk as we have faced a lot of pressure situations and they (seniors) try to guide us. In the end, it's your own decision because if you back your own decision that's the best way to go and going forward backing yourself is always helping.

Rohit Sharma | MI captain: Feels good knowing that we are amongst the top four now. Not easy to come through the ranks and we have played some consistent cricket throughout and we have the results for it. We wanted to put runs on the board, the pitch played good for all 40 overs and runs on the board is crucial and I knew that we didn't get the score we wanted but we knew if we get early wickets we can put the pressure on their middle order. Manish batted really well and he played some excellent shots but I think the game changing moment was the eight overs of spin. They bowled very well and contained the batsmen which was very important at that stage. He's (Bumrah) been brilliant for us and he keeps improving every game and he is hungry for success. He wants to be out there and express himself and he understands that he is a lead bowler for us. He held the nerve in the crucial overs and in the Super Over as well. We got some work to do in the batting department, Quinny has been good but we need help from the other batters. The confidence is there and we need to understand what's the par score at a venue and I thought we did 70-80 percent of the basics right in the batting, only few games we let our batting collapse a little bit but we are hoping to get better.

Krunal Pandya: Quite happy with the result, always a good feeling when the team wins. Wankhede, whatever I have played here, the wicket stays the same so batting or bowling first doesn't make a difference. I thought we were 15 runs short, so we had to bowl well. The powerplay didn't go accoridng to our plans, but Bumrah gave two crucial breakthroughs. Chahar and my job was to keep it tight in the middle overs. As a spinner at Wankhede you need to bowl variable pace because bowling the same pace allows the batsman to set himself up and hit on a batting wicket like this, so we knew we had to keep it tight. I knew Hardik and Pollard were going in to bat, so there was no debate about anyone else going in.

Kane Williamson | SRH captain: I have experience of few Super Overs and that time too, I finished on the wrong side. It was a fantastic effort by Manish and Nabi to get us so close. The first half was very good for us, our bowlers did a brilliant job. We just couldn't get over the line. We were waiting to see how many runs we will be able to get in the Super Over. When it was eight, we decided to go with Rashid. He is world-class in everything he does so we thought he is our man. Manish has got a great rhythm to his game now. It is a shame for us that we ended up on the wrong side today. We have one game left and it is important that we approach that in a similar way.

00:07 local: That Super Over clearly didn't have the fizz all of us expected, but it's that man again, Hardik Pandya who redeems Mumbai after conceding a six off the final delivery of the game. Takes the responsibility himself, faces the first ball and bam! He's absolutely brimming with confidence and after all the noise that derailed his cricket before IPL, this is some way to respond to the critics. Not to forget the ever-reliable Bumrah's contribution in this game as well. He dismissed both openers in the chase and roared back in style in the one-over eliminator to dismantle Nabi's leg peg out of the ground. About the game? Rohit Sharma noted at the toss that it's a fresh pitch and a lot of runs were expected out of this track. Result? Lots of twists and turns and a Super Over. In the end, one felt that Mumbai,for most part of the game, were well equipped to clinch the game. The lack of Warner in the SRH camp clearly exposing a few cracks?

Ball 3: Rashid Khan to Pollard, 2 runs, that's it Mumbai Indians seal the Super Over and become the third team to qualify for the playoffs. Pollard strides on the front foot and punches the googly through mid-wicket, they take two in a canter and the smiles go up in the MI camp

Ball 2: Rashid Khan to Hardik, 1 run, quicker and sliding in, Hardik works it into the leg-side for an easy single

Ball 1: Rashid Khan to Hardik, SIX, Hardik sets the ball rolling with a mighty maximum. He wants redemption. Lines up for a tossed up legbreak and smokes it clean over the long-off fence. Struck it flat and stood there and admired the shot

Pollard and Hardik to open. Rashid to bowl. No slips. Third man and fine leg are inside the ring

MI batters: Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav

Harsha Bhogle: 9 to get for a place in the play-offs for Mumbai. Still open. Pressure of the last over

Williamson indicated that Rashid Khan's gonna bowl for SRH. Jayawardene, Zaheer Khan, Rohit Sharma and Malinga engage in a heated discussion and by the signs of it, Rohit is not gonna bat

Ball 4: Bumrah to Nabi, BOWLED!! Bumrah gets the yorker right and Nabi couldn't get his bat down in time, tried to force it on the leg-side but was too late in doing so. The pace and accuracy of Bumrah clatters the leg peg

Ball 3: Bumrah to Nabi, SIX, short ball at the body and Nabi gets a thick top-edge on the pull, deep square can only collect the ball back from the stands. Not well timed, but these bats I tellya...

Ball 2: Bumrah to Guptill, 1 run, a full toss on the stumps, Guptill clobbers it straight down the ground wide of long-on, only a single

Guptill is the new batsman

Ball 1: Bumrah to Pandey, we have a run-out first ball. Pandey steers the length ball square wide of point and there was a fumble from Krunal running across from sweeper cover, he recovers quickly and fires a throw to de Kock, who did the rest. Manish Pandey wanted to make Krunal pay but he wasn't even in the frame

Right then! We are all set for the Superover. It's Manish Pandey and Mohammad Nabi to face. Bumrah seems to be the bowler. Bumrah it is, here we go...

23:48 local: How have we got here? Ask Manish Pandey who's been SRH's hero in the last few weeks. Never showed any signs of pressure, took the game deep and finished it off in style ala MSD. After a decent powerplay, SRH were strangled with spin in the middle overs but Pandey kept his composure and did the unthinkable despite wickets tumbling at the other end. Mumbai Indians were a bit sloppy with the ball and the tactic to use the combo of Bumrah and Malinga before the final over backfired?
