IPL 2024: Brilliant Death Overs Bowling Helps Gujarat Giants Beat Mumbai Indians By Six Runs
Indian Premier League: Deposed skipper Rohit Sharma (43) and Dewald Brevis (46) came up with fine innings but Mumbai Indians lost their way against some incredible death overs bowling by Spencer Johnson and Umesh Yadav to help Gujarat Giants to a six-run victory in thrilling encounter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at a packed Narendra Modi Stadium here on Sunday.
After Jasprit Bumrah had claimed 3-14 on his return to IPL after missing the previous season, and Coetzee took 2-27 to restrict Gujarat Titans to 168/6, Rohit and Brevis had taken Mumbai Indians from 30/2 to 107 when the former Mumbai Indians captain fell for 43 to Sai Kishore and when Brevis got out for 46 at 129/4, Mumbai needed 40-odd runs in 25 balls and looked on course to win their first match for the first time since 2012.
But the first-match jinx continued as Gujarat Titans came back strongly at the death and secured a brilliant win.
