Sent into bat first, Mumbai Indians made most use of the conditions to put 215/7 in 20 overs. Ryan Rickelton (58) and Suryakumar Yadav (54) scored half-centuries while debutant Corbin Bosch (20) played a good hand down the order. Mayank Yadav (2/40) and Avesh Khan (2/42) shined with the ball for LSG.

In reply, LSG were never in the chase as Jasprit Bumrah (4/22) and Trent Boult (3/20) combined together for seven wickets to not let the opposition settle in. Will Jacks also chipped in with two wickets including that off Nicholas Pooran. Ayush Badoni was LSG's top scorer with 35 runs.
