Pacer Akash Madhwal picked up a sensational five-wicket haul (5/5) and helped Mumbai Indians thrash Lucknow Super Giants by 81 runs in the eliminator and move into Qualifier 2 of IPL 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, here on Wednesday.
Lucknow were 68/2 in eight overs at one point in their chase of 183. But from there, they fell in heaps to be all out for 101 in 16.3 overs, with Madhwal finishing with 5/5 in 3.1 overs, which is also the best-ever bowling figures in IPL playoffs history.
Mumbai were also aided by three hara-kiri run-outs from Lucknow's batting to book their spot in Qualifier 2, where they will face defending champions Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.
Chasing 183, Mumbai made the breakthrough in the second over as Madhwal had Prerak Mankad slicing to deep point. Two overs later, Mayers miscued pull to midon off Chris Jordan.
