Will Jacks was brought on to bowl the 7th over to counter Nicholas Pooran, the left-hander. Jacks delivered two wickets in a space of three balls, dismissing Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant. Jasprit Bumrah (4/22) and Trent Boult (3/20) were simply too hot for the LSG batters to handle. Bumrah became the leading wicket-taker for MI with his first wicket of the match.
