MI made a mistake here
Shane Bond lashed out at the bowling unit for conceding more runs in the death overs against Lucknow Supergiants, saying his team was repeating the same mistakes again and again. Mumbai needed 11 runs to win in the last over of the match played on Tuesday, but returning from injury, left-arm fast bowler Mohsin Khan bowled brilliantly to give Lucknow a five-run win. Lucknow Supergiants were struggling to score runs at 123 for three in 17 overs but Mumbai gave away 54 runs in the last three overs. During this, Chris Jordan scored 24 runs in the 18th over for Mumbai, Jason Behrendorff scored 15 runs in the 19th over, Akash Madhwal scored 15 runs in the 20th over.
what did the coach say
Bond said after the match that the most frustrating thing for him was that the plans he talks about don’t stick to them on the field. He was very clear about what we wanted to do on this wicket for players like Marcus (Stoinis). We had planned to bowl to him but didn’t bowl accordingly. Stoinis scored an unbeaten 89 in his 47-ball innings hitting eight sixes. Lucknow had lost three wickets for 35 runs in the seventh over. Stoinis then shared an 82-run partnership for the fourth wicket with captain Krunal Pandya (retired hurt at 49).
Bond further said that he was brilliant for the first 15 overs. He bowled the way he wanted to. A player put pressure on him. Rashid Khan also did the same to him in the last match. Although he did not lose that match but lost this match. He said that conceding 54 runs in the last three overs cannot be called right from anywhere. The team of Mumbai Indians will now have to win their next match to go into the playoffs. Along with this, the equation of other teams will also have to depend.
