MUMBAI, India (AP) — Surykumara Yadav and Ryan Rickelton scored half-centuries as Mumbai Indians beat Lucknow SuperGiants by 54 runs in the Indian Premier League on Sunday.
Rickelton scored 58 off 32 balls while Yadav made 54 off 28 balls as Mumbai notched up 215-7 in 20 overs.
In reply, Lucknow was bowled out for 161 in 20 overs with star pacer Jasprit Bumrah picking up 4-22 in four overs as the five-time champions registered their fifth consecutive win of the season.
Mumbai climbed to second in the points table with the victory – it has 12 points from 10 games – while Lucknow stays sixth with 10 points from as many games. It was a second consecutive loss for the SuperGiants.
Earlier, Mumbai lost Rohit Sharma for 12 after he added 33 runs with Rickelton for the first wicket.
The South African batter hit six fours and four sixes in his second half-century of the season – he reached 50 off 25 balls.
Rickelton added 55 off 35 balls with Will Jacks for the second wicket, which provided Mumbai a platform to go past 200.
Yadav took over the innings after Rickelton’s departure as he hit four sixes and as many fours in his third half-century of the season.
He added 28 off 17 balls with Jacks, who was bowled off Prince Yadav in the 12th over.
Yadav reached 50 off 27 balls, adding useful partnerships with middle-order batters along the way.
Key contributions came from Naman Dhir, who hit 25 not out off 11 balls with two sixes, and Corbin Bosch (20 off 10 balls).
Bosch made his first appearance of the season for the Indians, after his pre-season switch from the Pakistan Super League. He accepted Mumbai’s offer to replace compatriot Lizad Williams for the current IPL season, negating his contract with Peshawar Zalmi for PSL 2025. He was subsequently banned by the PSL for one year.
Chasing a hefty total, Lucknow lost in-form batsman Aiden Markram early. Mitchell Marsh (34) and Nicholas Pooran (27) added 42 off 21 balls, before a double blow from Jacks in the seventh over.
He first had Pooran caught for 27 off 15 balls, and then Rishabh Pant holed out two balls later with the skipper making only four runs leaving Lucknow down to 64-3 after 6.3 overs.
Marsh and Ayush Badoni added 46 off 29 balls for the fourth wicket, taking Lucknow past 100. The turning point came when Trent Boult dismissed Marsh in the 12th over.
Bumrah then came into play and went through the Lucknow order, picking up another three wickets. Two of those came in the 16th over when David Miller was caught for 24 and then Abdul Samad three balls later for two.
Badoni top scored with 35 off 22 balls, hitting two sixes, but it wasn’t enough to avoid Lucknow’s fifth loss of the season.
In Sunday’s second game, Virat Kohli returns to his home city as Delhi Capitals hosts Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
