🔷 Mumbai Indians Innings
Chasing 163, Mumbai Indians had a steady start but faced a few hiccups during the middle overs. However, a solid performance by Will Jacks (36 off 26 balls) and Ryan Rickelton (31) kept the chase on track.
A dramatic moment came when SRH thought they had dismissed Rickelton, but the delivery was declared a no-ball due to wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen's gloves being ahead of the stumps, a rare but costly mistake under ICC laws.
In the end, Tilak Varma (17 off 9)* calmly guided MI to victory with a boundary in the 19th over, finishing the innings at 166/6 in 18.1 overs.
