Excellent bowling by Jasprit Bumrah in the super over saw Mumbai Indians edge out a brave Gujarat Lions in a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter on Saturday evening.
Chasing a moderate target of 153 runs, Mumbai were off to a good start before some excellent bowling by young pacer Basil Thampi and excellent fielding by Gujarat saw then lose six wickets in the last four overs to leave the scores tied.
Kieron Pollard gave Mumbai a promising start in the super over, hitting James Faulkner for a boundary to long-off and a six over long-on off consecutive balls.
But he hit the very next ball into the hands of the fielder at the long-on boundary.
Jos Buttler also fell when he skied an attempted big hit and Mumbai were restricted to 11 runs.
Bumrah conceded a no-ball in the first ball but prevented Brendon McCullum from making use of the free hit with a good delivery even as the Kiwi star mis-timed his shot.
The next ball was wide but Bumrah made a comeback with another good delivery that was dot ball. The next ball was full and slightly outside the off-stump. McCumllum was unable to connect but ran a bye even as the ball travelled to the wicket-keeper.
Patel got 70 runs off 44 balls, hitting nine boundaries and a six along the way.
An extra bit of bounce from James Faulkner saw him being caught behind but Mumbai were comfortably placed at 123/4 after 16 overs.
Needing only 31 runs off the last four overs, the visitors were seemingly cruising home to a comfortable win.
But Thampi helped Gujarat stage a late comeback by taking three wickets in his last two overs.
Bumrah produced another couple of excellent deliveries to leave Gujarat needing seven runs off the last ball.
The last ball only produced a single as the host fell six runs short of the target.
Earlier, Mumbai were handed a superb start by in-form opener Parthiv Patel.
