Mumbai Indians began well when they stepped on to chase the target, but both Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan were dismissed early. While Dewald Brevis did attempt to turn MI’s fortunes around, and smashed Rahul Chahar for four consecutive sixes in an over, the team ultimately fell short of 12 runs and remained at 186/9 at the end of 20 overs. This outing marked the fifth consecutive loss for Mumbai Indians. The side remains winless at the bottom of the points table.
