🚨 Update 🚨 Shardul Thakur will come out to bat in place of Mitchell Santner as a concussion sub. 

10:05pm IST: Powerplay ✅. Both SKY and Tilak are being careful, understandably. They've looked good and are waiting for the right time to explode. For now, it's about staying put and bracing up. MI: 29/3 (6 overs) | Need 179 more to win.  

Uh-oh. NOOO. Danish Malewar goes in the first over. Quinton in the second. Naman in the third. But Aapla Dada SKY has started off with a super whip off his legs for a boundary. Paltan, tension nahi leneka. We've got this. ✊

9:35pm IST: And we are off. Quinny, in typial style, smashes the second ball for a huge SIX. Beauttyyyyyy 😍

Let's hunt this down, Paltan! This is our den. Let's make it our fortress. Our target🎯: 208 runs | 20 overs. 

******

9:20pm IST: Well played, Sanju Samson 🤝. He anchors this innings for CSK and finishes with a century off the last ball of the innings. But in a season where 200 is the norm and this pitch at the Wankhede is an absolute belter with some dew coming down as well, we'll take this target of 208! 

🙏 Mitchell Santner 🙏 Hope you're fine, champ! He seems to have hurt his left shoulder while taking a brilliant catch in the deep and has gone off the field. Let's hope there's nothing serious here. 

Bumrah doing Bumrah things. In the 17th over, concedes just two runs and picks a wicket. Ah, Maanla re, parat tula, BOOM!

8:55pm IST: Right, Paltan, four overs remain. Bumrah will bowl two of those. CSK are on 164/4. Can we keep them to under 200? Hoyega, hoyega! 🫡

Dewald Brevis c Bumrah b Ashwani Kumar: 21 (11). Well, well, just when CSK go on the attack, we pull it back, and how! The four-wicket star from the previous game is back to grab his fifth for the season. CSK: 122/4 (11 overs). 

8:25pm IST: 🪄🎩🟰😁

Oh ho ho ho ho...More spin, more damage 

The dangerous Shivam Dube is cleaned up. Oh we are right in this one! Ghazanfar chi firki cha kamaal 👏 Dube: 5(8) | CSK: 91/3 (8.1 overs). 

8:00pm IST: Quite the powerplay this! A thrill-a-minute, with some flashy strokes, wily bowling, brave strategizing. HP isn't worried about using spin in the powerplay, and our spin twins don't disappoint 😁. CSK: 73/2 (6 overs). 

Ruturaj Gaikwad c Tilak Varma b Allah Ghazanfar: 22(14)
Sarfaraz Khan b Mitchell Santner: 14(8) 

7:28pm IST: Aaannddd here we go. Bola, Ganpati Bappa Moryaaaa!! 🙏

Wankhede आणि Match day vibes = 💙

7:00pm IST: Woohoooo!!! 🥳 MUMBAI INDIANS OPT TO BOWL 👊 We know how Wankhede is the perfect chasing ground, and our skipper, Hardik Pandya has won a huge toss. Lessss goooooo...

6:45pm IST: It's time to add a 2026 section to the MIvCSK rivalry of nail-biters. This is your space, Paltan. Tell us what you'd do if we win the toss? What should the XI be? What should our strategy be? Okay, let's start first with Mumbaiiiii, Mumbaiiiii!!!! 💪
