Terrific last over by Mohsin. To defend 11 of the last over against Tim David and Green was a special effort. Last 3 overs with the ball proved costly for Mumbai.

Mohsin Khan has bowled the over of his life. Short of breathe when he began but delivered the best 6 balls of his career so far. Wow. Just fantastic.

Mumbai have only themselves to blame – from 90/0 in 9.3 overs, they ought not to have messed up their batting order. How on Earth did they have Nihal and Vinod batting above Green??

24 runs in the 18th over changed the momentum for Lucknow. We'll played Stoinis. Mohsin Khan who plays for Uttar Pradesh wins it for Lucknow at his home ground. Incidentally Mohsin was bought by MI in 2018
