IPL Milestone: Mumbai Edges Closer to Playoffs with 54-Run Win Over Lucknow

Mumbai Indians defeat Lucknow Super Giants by 54 runs, securing their 150th IPL win. Jasprit Bumrah surpasses Lasith Malinga's record with 174 wickets.

Jasprit Bumrah's outstanding performance led Mumbai Indians to their fifth consecutive win in the Indian Premier League. He claimed 4-22 against Lucknow Super Giants, helping his team win by 54 runs. This victory marked Mumbai's 150th win in the IPL, making them the first team to achieve this milestone.

Bumrah's four-wicket haul not only sealed the win but also broke Lasith Malinga's record of 170 wickets, making him Mumbai's leading wicket-taker with 174 wickets. Ryan Rickleton's 58 and Suryakumar Yadav's 54 set the stage for Mumbai's dominance, with the team posting 215-7. Lucknow Super Giants were restricted to 161, unable to withstand Mumbai's strong bowling attack.

Mumbai's Bowling Effort Pays Off

Mumbai's bowlers delivered a strong performance, with England's Will Jacks picking up two wickets in one over. Lucknow was bowled out for 161, propelling Mumbai to second place in the 10-team T20 table.

 

The victory marked Mumbai's 150th win in the Indian Premier League, a milestone achieved by no other team in the league's history.

Jasprit Bumrah surpassed Lasith Malinga's record of 170 IPL wickets, becoming Mumbai's leading wicket-taker with 174 wickets after dismissing Aiden Markram. Bumrah had recently recovered from a back injury that kept him out of India's Champions Trophy campaign.

Lucknow's innings began positively, with Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran hitting boundaries in a 42-run partnership. However, Will Jacks broke the partnership by dismissing Pooran for 27 with his off-spin, and soon after, Jacks had Lucknow's captain Rishabh Pant caught out for 4 attempting a reverse sweep. Pant has struggled with the bat, scoring just 110 runs in nine innings despite being bought at a record $3.21 million.

Trent Boult troubled the Australian Marsh for 34 and later dismissed Ayush Badoni for 35, derailing Lucknow's chase. Boult's impressive spell ended with figures of 3-20.

Jasprit Bumrah sealed the win, taking three wickets in one over, including impact player David Miller for 24. His spell helped restrict Lucknow and secure Mumbai's victory.

Left-handed Ryan Rickleton set the tone with a flurry of boundaries after losing opener Rohit Sharma, who fell to Mayank Yadav's slower ball for 12. Rickleton countered the spin threat, forming a 55-run partnership with Will Jacks, who scored 29 before being bowled by Prince Yadav.

Suryakumar Yadav kept the momentum going with aggressive hitting, including a remarkable kneel-down hook for six over fine-leg. Despite regular breakthroughs from the Lucknow bowlers, Mumbai maintained a strong run rate. Mayank Yadav also dismissed captain Hardik Pandya for 5.

India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav reached his fifty with a six but was dismissed on the next ball by Avesh Khan.

Naman Dhir (25* off 11 balls) and Corbin Bosch (20 off 10 balls) added a quick 28-run stand, with Bosch impressing on his IPL debut.
