The match saw an outstanding performance from New Zealand pacer Trent Boult, who was named Player of the Match for his match-winning spell. Boult’s exceptional bowling proved crucial in restricting the Sunrisers’ batting lineup.
Mumbai Indians’ chase was expertly guided by Surya Kumar Yadav, who remained unbeaten on 40 off just 19 balls. Captain Rohit Sharma also contributed significantly with back-to-back half-centuries, setting the tone for the chase alongside Will Jacks. The pair helped Mumbai Indians reach 56/1 after the first 6 overs, establishing a solid foundation for the successful run chase.
