Without their best bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for this inconsequential match, Mumbai Indians struggled to halt Lucknow Super Giants’s march, especially their left-hander Nicolas Pooran (75, 29b, 5x4, 8x6).

Though the MI bowlers did well to contain LSG to 69-3 in the first 10 overs, it was an entirely different story in the second half with Pooran dealing in sixes. LSG finished at 214-6 with Pooran not sparing the full tosses and short balls that were served aplenty by the inexperienced MI medium pacers.
