Well, this is it to the onecricket live coverage for the last game of the group stages. This was Arijit Kundu, bringing you the match review and the coverage alongside co-commentators, Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and Akshay Bhide. Thank you for tuning into our coverage and it's time to bid adieu to all of you.
 Ishan Kishan(Man of the match): "A very good thing for me and for the team getting some runs, and getting into good touch before the World Cup. Was in good state mind of mind, was very positive. We had to get somewhere around 250-260, it was the intent and positive intent. The one I smacked Malik through the covers - that's the one (his favourite shot). In this tournament, you have to be prepared for every circumstances. It's important to be in the right mindset and you need to go with your best form."
Man of the match: Ishan Kishan
Rohit Sharma(MI captain): "When you play for a franchise like Mumbai, you are always expected to perform. I wouldn't call it pressure. More than anything, it is the expectation. What we have created as a group stands out in the last 5-6 years. It was very tough to drop some players. But we had an on-and-off season. We had a fabulous run as a franchise. We can be very proud of what we have created. We were just getting into the momentum of winning games in Delhi, and then there was a break in between. Once we came here, there was collective failure as a group. But very happy with the win today; we gave everything, and I am sure it was entertaining for the fans too. [To the Mumbai fans] They have been the 12th man. They have always stood by us. Little disappointed we couldn't go through. Ishan Kishan is a very talented player, just the right position to bat is crucial. He just batted the way we want Ishan to."
Suryakumar Yadav:(after the match) "I am good, I am good (smiles, on how he is doing after being hit by a short ball). That's how it should be Pommie Mbangwa. At the end of the day the show must go on and you got to keep smiling whatever happens. We had nothing to lose. We had a target, we just kept running behind it. The pitch was good. Happy to be on the winning side. It is a big tournament (T20 World Cup). We don't change anything. The process, routine all remain the same. Really looking forward to it."
Manish Pandey (SRH captain): "It was really hot, and it was an intense 20 overs. My calves are a bit cramped. I think the surface was the best of the tournament. We knew MI would come hard at us and they did. Our fast bowlers gave away a few extra runs that cost us in the end, but this was the best pitch of the tournament. We had a lot of changes in the side, that didn't work for us. We were struggling in the first few games too, and had to pull ourselves up in the second leg but the whole team didn't put in complete performances, despite some really good individual performances."
Arriving for the chase, Abhishek Sharma and Jason Roy started things brilliantly. Both of them took SRH to a flying start and minimized every possible chance for the defending champions to qualify. The left and right-hand combination took the Mumbai Indians' bowlers apart in the powerplay as SRH summed up the scoreboard to 70-1 after 6 overs. They lost their first wicket at 64 , i.e. a run short of the total that Mumbai Indians needed to defend to visit the playoffs. Jason Roy was the one to be dismissed for 34 as Trent Boult foxed him with a shorter delivery.

Following this, the other opener, Abhishek Sharma fled too. Nabi and Samad had a short stay at the crease while Manish Pandey tried to rebuild the innings with Priyam Garg, who came to bat at no. 6. Both of them glued a 56 runs partnership before Garg was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah. Wickets were tumbling from one end during the middle overs and Manish Pandey was the lone warrior at the end. The chase seemed impossible at a time when it came down to 57 needed from 12 balls. The MI pacers were brilliant during the last couple of overs as Bumrah, Neesham and Coulter Nile picked 2 wickets each. In the end, it was all over for SRH who lost the game by a margin of 42 runs and ended the season at the bottom of the table.
The screw was already tightened but Surya Kumar Yadav came to the action this time. He was the lone warrior for Mumbai Indians as the game progressed. Despite lacking support from the other end, Surya fired a superb 82 off just 40 deliveries with 13 fours and 3 sixes. Though he got out at the 20th over, Mumbai Indians managed to get to a total of 235 at the end. 

Jason Holder was brilliant with the ball as he bagged a four-fer. Rashid Khan and Abhishek Sharma picked two wickets each. one wicket in the pockets of Umran Malik.
Earlier in the game, Rohit Sharma had won the toss and elected to bat first as expected. They were eyeing a target of a minimum of 250 runs on board, and they did start off quite well. Courtesy to the pocket dynamo, Ishan Kishan who started things brilliantly tonight. He hit four boundaries on a trot in the 2nd over bowled by Sidharth Kaul.

Be it the tall, lanky, Jason Holder, or speedster, Umran Malik, or the magician, Rashid Khan, Ishan Kishan took everyone apart in the first few overs. They managed to fetch 83 runs off the powerplay at the cost of the skipper, Rohit Sharma.

Hardik Pandya was sent up the order tonight but he failed to produce a spark. Kieron Pollard was the next batter on the crease, at no.4. He too seemed struggling tonight. Following this, Umran Malik scalped the dangerous Ishan Kishan with some fiery pace, bowled outside the channel and the latter walked past after scoring some blistering 84 runs of mere 32 deliveries. slowly and steadily Sunrisers were pulling the ball in their court as part-timer, Abhishek Sharma bagged the wickets of Kieron Pollard and Jimmy Neesham on back-to-back deliveries of his solitary over.

Well, cricket is a game of small margins as we say, and this is a fine example of it. A 42 runs victory for the Mumbai Indians and yet they fail to qualify through the group stages. They level their points with Kolkata Knight Riders in the points table but it isn't at all enough for them as they lag behind in the net run rate.

Despite a 400 runs display in the game, none of the teams below could make it into the playoffs.  SRH kickstarted the chase well, but could not deep dig as wickets kept on flooding in the middle overs from the other ends.
 Mumbai Indians' pace attack was brilliant as they did pull things well in their court at the end.

1 That's the end of the match and Manish Pandey seemed to be cramping up quite badly. Trent Boult out to help him out. Boult ends with a back of a length delivery and Pandey pulls it away down the deep midwicket region and hops to complete the single. 
19.5 T Boult to M Pandey
4 Woww!!! It might not make any significance to the context of the game but that is top class batting from Manish Pandey. Stays deep into his crease and coverts this full one into a half-volley. Smokes this down the ground to the straight boundary. 
19.4 T Boult to S Kaul
1 Hello!!!! That was a good shot. Makes room and crunches that full-length delivery on the stumps down the deep cover region for a single. 
19.3 T Boult to M Pandey
1 Another slower delivery outside off. Manish Pandey fetches that from the inside half of the bat down the deep square leg region and gets only a single. 
19.2 T Boult to M Pandey
4 That's a nice shot for a boundary. Brings out the dancing shoes Manish Pandey. Boult goes fuller outside off, Pandey clears his front leg and smokes this past the bowler and it races off to the straight boundary. 
19.1 T Boult to M Pandey
0 Starts off with a fuller length slower delivery outside off. Manish Pandey tries to go for the big shot down the ground. Doesn't get all of it and he refuses the single.
