12:34 PM IST, local time: Riding on Yashasvi Jaiswal's sumptuous century, Mumbai chase down the target of 235 with 15 balls to spare to keep their hopes alive in the competition. This is now the second time in 2 matches that a score of this sort has been chased down at this venue. Perhaps, the DY Patil Academy at Ambi is the new "graveyard for bowlers".
Yes, the dimensions were not huge. Yes, the ball came nicely onto the bat. However, you still have to laud how the young Mumbai opener built his innings. He was off to a good start, but after Rahane was dismissed, Sarfaraz came out all guns blazing and Jasiwal realised that he could take the backseat. He rode pillion, while the man wearing 97 on his back entertained one and all with a sprightly knock of 64 (25) which included 9 effervescent fours and 3 enthralling sixes.
Once, Sarfaraz lost his wicket, Jaiswal stole the limelight with some authoritative ball-striking. The southpaw finished with 101 off 50 balls and by the time, he was dismissed, the game was already done. Haryana bowlers were all over the place. Apart from the bazillion boundary balls, they also conceded 12 extras. Surprisingly, Nishant Sindhu was not given the chance to bowl today.
Despite the sun being out, it was a chilly morning in Pune today. There was also, allegedly, some moisture on the pitch. Hence, it made all the sense in the world for Mumbai to elect to bowl first post winning the toss. Though, the Haryana batters took the bull by its horns and unleashed a blitzkrieg from the offset. Ankit Kumar scored an authoritative 89, Arsh Ranga played an effervescent cameo at the top, Nishant Sindhu put the left-hander's elegance on display without compromising on intent, and then, Samant Jhakar scored 31 off 14 balls before retiring out.
Alas, it still did not prove to be enough. Sairaj Patil was the shining light for Mumbai with the ball. However, he too took a beating towards the fag end of spell, conceding three consecutive sixes in the second half of his final over and ended with 2/44.

Despite this authoritative win, Mumbai's net run rate remains in the negative. Though, this victory will give them the much required psychological boost going forward. Haryana are still placed above them in the Super League Group B points table. Remember, only one of the four teams will make it to the finals.
