IPL 2022 GT vs MI Highlights: Sams redeems himself, wins cliffhanger for MI

GT vs MI Highlights: Daniel Sams defended nine runs of the last six balls against David Miller and Rahul Tewatia two win the match for Mumbai Indians by 5 runs against table-toppers Gujarat Titans

12:19 AM

GT vs MI Player of the Match: Tim David

 

Though Daniel Sams evidently seemed like the sole reason for Mumbai's thrilling win, Tim David's contribution, where he scored 44* off just 21 balls, could not be ignored either as he was the reason that Mumbai could get to a total that was worth fighting for. Courtesy of that reason, he was chosen as the Player of the Match for this game.

GT vs MI Live Updates: Match Summary

 

Daniel Sams defended nine runs of the last six balls against David Miller and Rahul Tewatia two win the match for Mumbai Indians by 5 runs against table-toppers Gujarat Titans. It was one of the brilliant last overs bowled and probably the best of this season so far as Tewati and Miller, the two most feared batters in death were unable to get the slower ones away.

 

The Titans eventually could make only three runs off the last over to lose a game that was served to them on a platter by their openers who put on 106 for the first wicket in only 12 overs, chasing 178 at Brabourne which is the most batting-friendly wicket this IPL. 

 

Apart from Sams, Murugiuan Ashwin bowled a game-changing over too where he dismissed both the Gujarat openers in one over to give Mumbai the chance to fight back. 

 

Earlier in the evening, after being asked to bat first and getting off to a flyer where the openers scored 74 in the first seven overs, Mumbai Indians lost the plot and were staring down at a low total after Kieron Pollard ate up 17 balls to score only 8 runs. But thanks to an attacking onslaught from Tim David, Mumbai managed to finish at 177/6 in their 20 overs.

GT vs MI Live Updates: Daniel Sams the redeemer, defends 9 in the last over

 

Daniel Sams is into the attack 

 

Ball 1  Slower outside off and Miller finds the fielder at deep extra cover and only a single off the first ball now 

 

Ball 2  Wow!! That is on the tramline and it was not a wide and that would be dot ball 8 needed off four now 

 

Ball 3  Wicket !! Slower one and pulled by Tewatia who runs two here. The throw could have been better and it could have resulted in a run-out…well who am I kidding, it is a run-out. Tewatia the Iceman is short by inches again. Well done Ishan Kishan and well done to Tilak Varma for the throw 

 

Ball 4  Rashid Khan is here and at the crease and he hits it one in the air and Daniel Sams almost gets to it running back. For a fast bowler to do that, it would have been amazing. Only a single here though 

 

Ball 5  Six needed off the last two balls and Miller is on strike and Sams bowls a brilliant length ball and it was a slower one too and Miller misses 

 

Six of one needed and Sams could now redeem himself from the shocker he was subjected to by Pat Cummins earlier in the tournament 

 

Ball 6 Wow!! This is Daniel Sams at his best as he deceives the Killer Miller with a slower one that was almost as full as it gets and it has the feel of Malinga in it as well with the in-dipper that one. Oh, Daniel Sams you redeemer of a different kind. 

 

Mumbai win by five runs as Gujarat waits on for their entry into the Playoffs 

 

Gujarat Titans Live Score 172-5 after 20 overs

Tewatia the Iceman is short by inches again and Well done Ishan Kishan and well done to Tilak Varma for the throw 

 

11:12 PM

GT vs MI Live Updates: Miller Kills it as now only 9 needed off the last over

 

Jasprit Bumrah is into the attack 

 

Ball 1  Full toss down the ground and Tewatia has run two here as it was lazy from Tim David as he thought it was always going to be the single. He and Mumbai are outfoxed by the Iceman here 

 

Ball 2 Brilliant bowling from Bumrah as he almost bowled Miller with a slow cutter

 

Ball 3  Slower one from Bumrah and Miller could only play it to deep mid-wicket for a single 

 

Ball 4  Tewatia tries to find the gap between the point and the backward point but is unable to. However he gets a single 

 

Ball 5  Six!! It is not the Iceman, but Killer Miller with a killer blow as he picked up the slower ball and dispatched it over deep mid-wicket for a six. 

 

Ball 6 Can Bumrah get a wicket off the last ball here? Not really but he concedes only one and now it seems that the six was the game-changer. 

 

Gujarat Titans Live Score 169-4 after 19 overs

 

11:05 PM

GT vs MI Live Updates: 20 needed off last two overs

 

Riley Meredith is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Four!! Poor bowling from Meredith as he bowls a half-tracker and gets pulled past deep square leg for a four  

 

Ball 2  Yorker executed well by Meredith and that would be a single 

 

Ball 3  On the legs and played to deep backward square leg for two runs 

 

Ball 4  Wicket !! Would that be a wicket? The stumps have been hit directly by Kishan from behind the stumps and Pandya is short by inches. That would be the wicket that Mumbai needed here as Bumrah would be pumped up to deliver a good over next up if Meredith can control this one to less than four from the next two balls 

 

Ball 5  Tewatia is off the mark here with a drive to sweeper cover 

 

Ball 6  It was there to be hit, short and wide, but Miller picked out a fielder and that would be the end of the over 

 

Gujarat Titans Live Score 158-4 after 18 overs

Jasprit Bumrah is into the attack 

 

Ball 1  Four!! Full and hit down the ground for four first ball 

 

Ball 2  Full again and it's a full toss actually and that would mean a single down the ground 

 

Ball 3  Comes round the wicket to Miller and bowls a dot ball as Miller plays it to short cover 

 

Ball 4  Four!! That could have been nearly a wicket as Miller was beaten with pace and it took his bat’s inside edge and went behind the keeper for a four 

 

Ball 5  Single down the ground and that would be the 10 for the over 

 

Ball 6  And another single would mean 11 from the over 

 

Gujarat Titans Live Score 149-3 after 17 overs

 

10:49 PM

GT vs MI Live Updates: Pollard gets Sudharsan hit wicket

 

Kieron Pollard is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Nice slower one to start the over from Pollard as Rohit Sharma plays his last card to try and squeeze out an over before the last four 

 

Ball 2 Six!! But seems like that last card will fail him too as this time around, Sudharsan picks up the slower length ball and dispatches it down the ground for a six 

 

Ball 3  Dot ball as Sudharsan plays it back to the bowler again 

 

Ball 4  Mumbai needed a wicket, but Rohit went with a defensive approach to try and save the overs of Bumrah and Sams. But now it is going easy peasy as Sudharsan gets another single 

 

Ball 5  Single to deep square leg by Pollard 

 

Ball 6  Wicket!! Not the way Mumbai would have liked, but it is a wicket nonetheless as Sai Sudharsan was deceived by the slower one trying to pull it and in the followthrough of the pull shot, hit his own stumps to get hit wicket and that brings in the time out

 

Gujarat Titans Live Score 138-3 after 16 overs

 

10:43 PM

GT vs MI Live Updates: Mumbai getting out of the game

 

Kumar Kartikeya Singh is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Single towards sweeper cover by Sudharsan 

 

Ball 2 Single down the ground by Pandya 

 

Ball 3  Dot ball as Sudharsan plays it back to the bowler 

 

Ball 4  And that would be another single as Sudharsan plays it to deep square leg 

 

Ball 5  Four!! It stood up the short ball and was pulled away for a four 

 

Ball 6  Two more runs off the last ball and it seems like whatever little window Mumbai had in the game after those two quick wickets is now going away 

 

Gujarat Titans Live Score 130-2 after 15 overs

 

10:40 PM

GT vs MI Live Updates: Meredith bowls a losener

 

Riley Meredith is into the attack 

 

Ball 1 Single towards the leg side by Pandya 

 

Ball 2 Dot ball as Meredith keeps the length tight for the new batter 

 

Ball 3  Four!! Too full from Meredith and Sudharsan drives it gloriously down the ground to make a statement that he is no pushover at all and his wicket demands equal attention 

 

Ball 4  Pulled away to deep square leg for a single 

 

Ball 5  Brilliant effort put in by Rohit at short mid-off and saves a single 

 

Ball 6  Four!! That is pretty loose from Meredith to finish off his over. Slower outside off and all that Pandya needed to do was hit it past covers for a four and he did that 

 

Gujarat Titans Live Score 121-2 after 14 overs

 

10:35 PM

GT vs MI Live Updates: Ashwin brings Mumbai back

 

Murugan Ashwin is into the attack 

 

Ball 1  Wicket!! That’s the first one down as Shubman Gill comes down the ground and was deceived by the flight and turn from Ashwin who for a change bowled a leggie and got an edge of Shubman’s bat which turned in his hand as well and as a result, the batter was caught straight down the ground by Pollard to give Mumbai its first wicket 

 

Ball 2 Single off the first ball and Pandya is off the mark 

 

Ball 3  And that was pushed off the back foot for a single by Saha 

 

Ball 4  Played with a straight bat down the ground for a single by Pandya 

 

Ball 5  Good fielding by Daniel Sams and that would save two runs at deep fine leg 

 

Ball 6  Wicket!! Woah.. is it a game-changing over here from Ashwin as Saha goes for the slog sweep, gets a top edge and is caught at deep square leg by Sams and now Gujarat are two down for 111 and still need 67 off the last seven overs with two new men in. 

 

Gujarat Titans Live Score 111-2 after 13 overs
