MI fail to chase

However, both of them failed to give a start and were back in the dugout by the third over. After that, Naman Dhir and Suryakumar Yadav joined a crucial 69-run partnership, which was broken by Digvesh Singh Rathi. Dhir returned after scoring a quickfire 46 off 26 balls, which involved 4 boundaries and 3 sixes.
Suryakumar Yadav scored 67 runs off 43 balls and Tilak Varma got retired hurt. At this point, LSG managed to funnel down the run to the extent that MI needed 22 runs in the final over. However, despite Hardik scoring 16-ball 28 they could only score 9 runs in the 20th over and lost the match by 12 runs.
