Rohit scored 37(25), while Ishan hammered 59 off 39. Yash Thakur then cleaned up Suryakumar Yadav for 7(9). Tim David, who returned unbeaten on 32 off 19, kept Mumbai in hunt but Mohsin Khan came to LSG’s rescue. The pacer defended 11 runs in the final over to power his side to a convincing win, which helped them climb to the third spot in the points table. Mumbai, on the other hand, tumbled one spot and are now placed fourth. Earlier, Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya helped Lucknow get things back in order after Jason Behrendorff gave Mumbai a perfect start after opting to bowl. Stoinis returned unbeaten on 89 off 47 balls as Lucknow piled a stiff 177/3 in 20 overs. He stitched a crucial 82-run stand with Pandya for the fourth wicket after LSG were reduced to 35/3 in 6.1 overs. Pandya retired hurt at 49(42). 

Mohsin then bowls a wide yorker against Green, which results in a dot. He bowls another one, which is struck for a single.

The win also see LSG climb to third spot on the table as they now have 15 points from 13 encounters, while Mumbai drop one spot to fourth.

LSG pacer Mohsin Khan:

The plan was to execute what I did in practice and I executed. Even Krunal was talking to me and I told him the same. The run-up is the same, did not change it in the last over. I was trying to calm myself down, not look at the scoreboard and bowl the 6 balls well. Since the wicket was gripping, I tried the slower ball, but I bowled two of those and then changed to the yorker and it was reversing as well. Been a tough time as I was injured, playing after a year. My father got discharged from the ICU yesterday and he was in the hospital for the last 10 days and I did it for him, he would have been watching. I’m grateful to the team and the support staff, Gautam [Gambhir] sir, Vijay [Dahiya] sir for playing me this game even though I did not do well last game.
