Yadav hundred trumps all-round Rashid in Wankhede run-fest
It was another day of batting dominance at the Wankhede, right from the toss, as the Gujarat captain won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Wankhede, preferring to know what to chase. However, the brilliant unorthodoxy of Suryakumar Yadav saw him bring up his first-ever IPL hundred, which lifted the Mumbai Indians to 218-5. A ruthless bowling performance, at least in the initial phase of the total defence, gave them a cushion for Rashid’s pyrotechnics at the end, as they eventually coasted to a comfortable win.
Brief sores:
Mumbai Indians 218-5 in 20 overs (Suryakumar Yadav 103*, Rashid Khan 4-30) beat Gujarat Titans 191-8 in 20 overs (Rashid Khan 79*, David Miller 41, Akash Madhwal 3-31) by 27 runs.
