Mumbai post 192/4 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first

After winning the toss, Services opted to play first and got off to a good start with the ball. They dismissed Prithvi Shaw in just the third delivery of the over, dismissing him with a 3-ball duck in the first set.

Later, Services also dismissed Shreyas Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane before they could start the willow. Both had decent starts and should turn them into a big score, but the Services players did well to shorten their innings at just the right time.

However, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube came to the rescue and provided stability to the innings while also playing important shots. The two were brilliant in the middle and ensured to take Mumbai to a grand total of 192/4.

While Suryakumar was dismissed in the final, Dube remained undefeated till the end and took his team all the way. Mumbai have a solid bowling attack and would like a chance to defend the total.
