Wow! What a thrilling contest it was! Mumbai Indians (MI) have qualif𝔉ied for the playoffs with a superb win in the super over against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Wankhede stadium on Thursday.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled a brilliant super over to restrict the visitors for just eight runs and then Hardik Pandya’s six off the first ball delivered by Rashid Khan just killed the game.
However, full credit goes to Manish Pandey who first tied the game with a last ball six and took it to the super over. He remained unbeaten on 71 off jus♛t 47 balls.
But Pandey’s heroics went in vain as MI proved to be good in the super over and then snatched victory eventually to qualify for the playoffs.

Very well played by Hardik. One big shot and a single allowed Pollard to just knock it and 🅷close it. into the play offs and now in that last week scramble. Anyone between KKR SRH KXIP can make it now.

Taut game, among best I’ve seen. Hyderabad couldn’t make capital of opportunity created by Pandey. Credit to Bumrah. Tight over under pressure. Howev𓂃er, getting even 8-10 runs in Super Over can be tough. hold nerve to m⭕ake it to the play-offs. Well done Rohit & Co

Super Overs are never easy. But batsmen must NOT run themselves out on 1st ball of the over! Because the next batsman has no freedom to play the rest of t𓂃he over. ♑It’s a fine line.. but do not run yourself out!

Another absolute cracker of a match…. this continue to keeps delivering 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
