Lucknow Super Giants came out firing after being put in to bat, racking up a massive 90 runs in the Powerplay.

Mitchell Marsh provided solid support with a rapid 44.
Mumbai’s bowlers struggled against the onslaught until Corbin Bosch (2/20) briefly stemmed the flow by removing both set batters in the 9th over. However, late contributions from Aiden Markram (31*) and Himmat Singh (40*) ensured LSG posted a daunting 228, their highest total of the season.

Despite a brief middle-order wobble where Manimaran Siddharth (2/47) removed both Rohit and Tilak Varma, the required rate remained well under control. Naman Dhir (23*) and Will Jacks (10*) finished the job with 8 balls to spare, completing one of the highest successful chases at the Wankhede.
