We Had Our Opportunities, But We Were Not Good Enough: Jayawardene On MI's Elimination
As Mumbai Indians: As Mumbai Indians are officially out of the playoffs race with Royal Challengers Bengaluru snatching a victory in a last-ball thriller, head coach Mahela Jayawardene reflected on the loss and backed the players to still give their best with three games remaining in the season.
After Bhuvneshwar Kumar's four-wicket haul limited Mumbai Indians to 166/7. In reply, Krunal Pandya's 46-ball 73 on a challenging surface ensured the game never slipped out of RCB's grasp. The match culminated in an unpredictable final over bowled by young Raj Angad Bawa, with RCB requiring 15 runs.
With the equation reduced to 9 runs needed off 3 balls, Bhuvneshwar dispatched a vital six into the stands. Then, Rasikh Salam struck the ball firmly down the pitch, where it unfortunately deflected off the bowler Bawa towards long-on, allowing the batters to scramble back for a desperate, match-winning double.
