MI’s Jason Behrendorff struck twice in the same over and took two back-to-back wickets from Deepak Hooda and Prerak Mankad. Quinton de Kock then played with skipper Krunal Pandya and tried to move the scoreboard, but just after the powerplay MI star bowler Piyush Chawla took out Quinton de Kock.
Marcus Stoinis started with a bang and smashed a six against Hrithik Shokeen. The innings started stabilizing with Krunal Pandya and Stonis building a partnership and a slow phase for the bowlers of Mumbai started.
