Saqib Mahmood and Avesh Khan chopped Kolkata Knight Riders' legs out from underneath them with Jason Roy and Joe Root's dismissals in the first two overs of the innings.
It was on Ravikumar Samarth and Virat Kohli's shoulders to rehabilitate the innings - which was difficult especially since the former had been out of form the entire season.

But they still managed to put-up a 94-run partnership for the 3rd-wicket to rejuvenate Kolkata Knight Riders' innings before Ravikumar Samarth's dismissal in the 16th-over.
Virat Kohli was dismissed soon after and it all went downhill for Kolkata Knight Riders after that - they lost their last 6 wickets for 61 runs and crashed out for a measly 171.

Saqib Mahmood and Avesh Khan were the star with the ball for Mumbai Indians with 3 wickets apiece. Mayank Markande also made quite the impact with a crucial wicket.
He dismissed Virat Kohli when he was looking well-set which completely threw Kolkata Knight Riders' innings into a disarray - he finished with figures of 2 for 20 in 8.0 overs.

Rohit Sharma's unbeaten 77 accompanied with Aditya Tare's stern 40 and Ishan Kishan's brazen 44* were more than enough to secure a thumping victory whilst chasing 172.
Mumbai Indians defeat Kolkata Knight Riders by a comprehensive margin of 9 wickets to advance to the second semifinal of the 2021/22 season of Amarnath-Kardar Trophy.

Mumbai Indians dominated Kolkata Knight Riders in the first innings - bowling them out for just 171 on a Wankhede Stadium pitch with great and strenuous bowling tactics.
Then they made short work of the target in the second innings with their skipper - Rohit Sharma leading from the front with an unbeaten knock of 77 from 79 deliveries.

Mumbai Indians won by 9 wickets (with 130 balls remaining)

Man of the match: Saqib Mahmood (Mumbai Indians)

 
Did not expect that we would get KKR bowled out for 171 on a Wankhede track. It is important now for us to carry this momentum in remaining games and capitalize on it. I feel it is going to be tough for us now as we have reached the Semis.
 
I QUIT! I GIVE UP!

Mohammad Nawaz hits the paddle to the metal and squeezes Rahul Chahar for 20 runs in his final over. That is sure to ruin his figures after he did so well in this semi-final.

Quetta Gladiators finish with a respectable 316/5 - and they will still feel they fell short considering they only accumulated 79 runs off the last 10.0 overs of their innings.

Mohammad Nawaz pushes Quetta Gladiators to a respectable total. A total that's still going to need some defending, but one that seemed like a pipe dream at one point.
Haris Sohail aided Mohammad Nawaz with the pair of them being the last recognized batters Quetta Gladiators had and they needed them to bat nearly 18.0 overs together.

But he could never put his foot on the accelerator and was a bit of a drag. Perhaps having Jofra Archer come in for an over or two could've helped add another 15-20 runs.
Zeeshan Ashraf and Umar Amin laid the foundation for Quetta Gladiators after Imam-Ul-Haq and Nicholas Pooran were dismissed rather cheaply, especially Nicholas Pooran.

Rahul Chahar was easily the pick of the bowlers for Sunrisers Hyderabad before Mohammad Nawaz and Haris Sohail squeezed him for 20 runs in the final over of his spell.
Tabraiz Shamsi was the only other bowler besides Rahul Chahar to have something in the 'wickets' column. Rest of Sunrisers Hyderabad's bowling was taken to the cleaners.

Massive, massive apologies for the week-long delay. I've been really sick since posting the last game, and I've started to feel better only now. I had this innings ready to post, but I didn't have the images so I couldn't do it before. Even the ones used in that^ post were already on my PC, but I couldn't even muster up the energy to do that in the days preceding today. Just wanted to let you guys know in case you were wondering or annoyed by another hiatus in the league. This was totally unforeseen.

I don't need any reasons.

That was some terrible bowling.
 
Painfully slow knock by Amin. Decent knock by Ashraf, Haris Sohail was solid and what an innings by Mohammad Nawaz :clap We've got the bowlers to defend 316 runs, but I still feel we could have scored another 30 runs to make life easier on ourselves.

@Na Maloom Afraad , glad you are feeling better :cheers

Quetta Gladiators finish with a respectable 316/5 - and they will still feel they fell short considering they only accumulated 79 runs off the last 10.0 overs of their innings.

Mohammad Nawaz pushes Quetta Gladiators to a respectable total. A total that's still going to need some defending, but one that seemed like a pipe dream at one point.
Haris Sohail aided Mohammad Nawaz with the pair of them being the last recognized batters Quetta Gladiators had and they needed them to bat nearly 18.0 overs together.

But he could never put his foot on the accelerator and was a bit of a drag. Perhaps having Jofra Archer come in for an over or two could've helped add another 15-20 runs.
Zeeshan Ashraf and Umar Amin laid the foundation for Quetta Gladiators after Imam-Ul-Haq and Nicholas Pooran were dismissed rather cheaply, especially Nicholas Pooran.

Rahul Chahar was easily the pick of the bowlers for Sunrisers Hyderabad before Mohammad Nawaz and Haris Sohail squeezed him for 20 runs in the final over of his spell.
Tabraiz Shamsi was the only other bowler besides Rahul Chahar to have something in the 'wickets' column. Rest of Sunrisers Hyderabad's bowling was taken to the cleaners.

Rishabh Pant has led Sunrisers Hyderabad to an infamous victory! They mow down 105 runs in the last 10.0 overs, courtesy of some extravagant hitting from Rishabh Pant.
Rishabh Pant smashed his way to 66 runs off just 38 deliveries with 6 fours and 4 sixes - leading Sunrisers Hyderabad to complete one of their most iconic run-chases ever.

Venkatesh Iyer and Babar Azam absorbed all the pressure up-top - especially the latter as he added a run-a-ball 74 and provided much-needed stability to their run-chase.
Jofra Archer struck at two crucial stages in the game to remove Babar Azam and Mitchell Marsh - those scalps were crucial in putting Sunrisers Hyderabad on the back foot.

But what ensued next was extraordinary - Rishabh Pant and Hanuma Vihari added 114 runs together for the 5th-wicket in just 67 deliveries to lead their team to victory.
Hanuma Vihari aided Rishabh Pant greatly with a fifty of his own, but it was undoubtedly Rishabh Pant's game as he smoked Quetta Gladiators' bowlers all around the park.

Usman Shinwari bowled well in the first half of the innings, but he conceded 70 runs in his last 4.4 overs - he was taken to the cleaners by Rishabh Pant and Hanuma Vihari.
Shaheen Afridi struck to draw first blood - but much like his breathtaking in-swinger to KL Rahul, his death-bowling woes followed him from last year's Men's T20 World Cup.

Woahhh...what a game
brilliant finish at the end, at one stage, thought the game was gone, Marsh made it difficult
Spider Pant and Vihari stole the show and not to forget that important inning for Babar which helped us stay the chase

one more miracle, please :yes:cheers
hoping for the best to happen in the big game
