Mumbai innings in a nutshell!

Flamboyant Afghanistan seamer Naveen ul Haq picked up four wickets as Lucknow Super Giants managed to keep Mumbai Indians under-check at 182 for 8 in the IPL Eliminator. Naveen, who has been under spotlight since his angry exchanges with Virat Kohli during a league game against RCB, was constantly booed by the Chepauk crowd but he did well enough to dismiss MI skipper Rohit Sharma (11), batting mainstay Suryakumar Yadav (33), last match's hero Cameron Green (41) and the ever dangerous Tilak Verma (26). Naveen getting Surya and Green in one over could well prove to be decisive as MI were at least 15 short of par-score. MI also needed to replace Surya with Impact Player Nehal Wadhera, whose 23 off 12 balls took them past 180-run mark. Wadhera smacked a six and hit two fours in the final over bowled by Yash Thakur (3 for 34) to boost MI's score. The impressive Moshin Khan (1-24) conceded only 6 runs in the penultimate over before Wadhera stepped up the pace in Thakur's next, the final over of the innings. Skipper Rohit, who began slowly, fell trying to up the pace, jumping out to hit Naveen only to find Ayush Badoni in the way in the fourth over. Yash Thakur struck in the next over, getting Ishan Kishan (15) to nick one to the keeper. Suryakumar and Green gave some momentum to the innings with a 66-run third wicket partnership in a little over six overs. Green, who hammered a ton in the final league match against SRH, slammed six boundaries and 1 six while Yadav hit two maximums and an equal number of fours in his 20-ball knock.

Mumbai Indians post 182 for 8 against Lucknow Super Giants

That's it! Innings break at the Chepauk. Mumbai Indians get to a solid 182 for 8 against Lucknow Super Giants in this Eliminator clash. Terrific effort from both the teams. Yash Thakur leaks 14 runs in the final over but ends it with a wicket. Mumbai were 98 for 2 at the halfway mark and cruising towards a big total but then Naveen-ul-Haq four-for helped Lucknow fight back. Towards the backend, Nehal Wadhera 12-ball 23 cameo helped Mumbai get to a solid total. This second Chepauk surface has looked good for batting in the first half of the match, unlike yesterday. Can Lucknow chase down 183? The chase is coming up shortly!
