Quetta Gladiators had a chokehold over Mumbai Indians for the majority of the innings - if it weren't for Ross Taylor's brilliant innings, they would've been far, far worse off.
Shaheen Afridi starred with the ball - picking-up 6 wickets for 55 runs in 9.0 overs. His opening spell dented Mumbai Indians and they could never really recover from that.

Kieron Pollard and Ross Taylor launched an effort to rejuvenate the innings nonetheless, but their efforts of a 104-run stand could only do so much to push their team's total.
Mumbai Indians' lower-order had no response to Shaheen Afridi and Co. either with Aditya Tare's 62-ball 42 not out being the only noteworthy innings in an extended tail.

Albeit underwhelming, Aditya Tare's knock ensured Mumbai Indians wouldn't get bowled out, helping their score be pushed towards something their bowlers can bowl with.
Jofra Archer claimed 2 wickets and finished as the most economical bowler for Quetta Gladiators, but it was unequivocally Shaheen Afridi's game for his unrelenting antics.

Quetta Gladiators had a chokehold over Mumbai Indians for the majority of the innings - if it weren't for Ross Taylor's brilliant innings, they would've been far, far worse off.
Shaheen Afridi starred with the ball - picking-up 6 wickets for 55 runs in 10.0 overs. His opening spell dented Mumbai Indians and they could never really recover from that.

Kieron Pollard and Ross Taylor launched an effort to rejuvenate the innings nonetheless, but their efforts of a 104-run stand could only do so much to push their team's total.
Mumbai Indians' lower-order had no response to Shaheen Afridi and Co. either with Aditya Tare's 62-ball 42 not out being the only noteworthy innings in an extended tail.

Albeit underwhelming, Aditya Tare's knock ensured Mumbai Indians wouldn't get bowled out, helping their score be pushed towards something their bowlers can bowl with.
Jofra Archer claimed 2 wickets and finished as the most economical bowler for Quetta Gladiators, but it was unequivocally Shaheen Afridi's game for his unrelenting antics.

For a side that has heavily relied on their batting - Mumbai Indians have made it to the final on the back of their exceptional bowling performances in two playoff games.
Bowling Kolkata Knight Riders out for 171 was no small feat, and for them to defeat Quetta Gladiators by a hefty 100-run margin after setting a target of 255 is remarkable.

Quetta Gladiators will be feeling disappointed. They came second in Haier Cup Pakistan by the barest of margins, and now they lose two playoffs on the trot and crash out.
Mumbai Indians' bowling was a complete team effort with Saqib Mahmood leading the pack - his double-wicket first over cut the legs from underneath Quetta Gladiators.

After that, they never really recovered. Imam-Ul-Haq and Haris Sohail played knocks the likes of which would make Misbah-Ul-Haq and Younus Khan proud, but all in vain.
Colin de Grandhomme finished with 3 wickets to his name too. Crucially dismissing Imam-Ul-Haq and Jos Buttler. He then wrapped-up the innings with Lungi Ngidi's wicket.

Mumbai Indians won by 100 runs

Man of the match: Ross Taylor (Mumbai Indians)

 
Wohoooo!!! After going through 2 tournaments in which we fall short at the end, we have finally made it through to the Final. Also, this is the first tournament where we only made forced changes. Says a lot about how backing the players do wonders to a side. And on the back of whose performance? Ross Taylor who is playing his last tournament. Tbh his absence in IODC's next season is really going to hurt us. Last but not the least, we live one more day into this tournament after having a couple of disaster of a games!! In case don't win the Final we would still try to make sure we give our best.
