Rain kept playing peek-a-boo with this game of Mumbai and Gujarat. Horrendous display of batting by the Mumbai batters against disciplined bowling of Gujarat made them stop at a below-par total of 156. Credit to Mumbai bowlers who still made a game out of it while everybody kept checking DLS scores. In the end, Gujarat won the game on the last ball with three wickets.

Delhi and Gujarat went head-to-head against each other. Delhi batted first, and Rahul played a classy knock of 112 without getting dismissed to take the team’s total to 199. A competitive total from Delhi turned out to be a mediocre total for Gujarat, as they did not even break a sweat. Sai and Gill were sensational, leading the team to a victory by 10 wickets.

Long before the IPL became a run-fest, Wankhede Stadium was known as a batting paradise. The surface soon settles into a batter-friendly track, albeit early on, fast bowlers may find some movement. High scores are guaranteed when you include the short boundaries. Mumbai supporters should prepare for another exciting game with lots of runs on Sunday.
