• Despite losing wickets at crucial moments, LSG managed to cross the 200-run mark, setting a stiff target for MI.

MI's Bowling Efforts

Mumbai Indians' bowlers tried to restrict LSG, with Hardik Pandya leading the attack. His brilliant spell of 5 wickets for 36 runs kept MI in the hunt and prevented LSG from getting an even bigger total.
