Australian Daniel Sams bowled three dot balls in the last over to concede just three runs, and give Mumbai Indians, who were under the pump during the first half of the chase, a come-from-behind five-run win over Gujarat Titans, at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. Apart from the three dots, the Sams’ over contained a run out of Rahul Tewatia and a tough, missed catch of Rashid Khan.
A stroke-filled 106-run opening wicket partnership between Wriddhiman Saha, who made 55 (40b; 6x4, 2x6) and Shubman Gill 52 (36b; 6x4, 2x6) had set the Titans on course in the chase. Both were dismissed by leg spinner Murugan Ashwin in the 13th over. However, captain Hardik Pandya’s run out in the 18th over gave the fivetime IPL champions a window of opportunity, which Indians clinged on to for a close win.
Earlier, Tim David’s late assault of 44 runs (2x4, 4x6) in 21 balls, guided the Indians to 177/6 in 20 overs. Inviting his former team to bat after winning the toss, Pandya and his bowlers were at the receiving end of a short but belligerent innings from Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma, who was elegance personified and looked in full flow.
