The Mumbai Indians, champions of the WPL. Again. And they now have a place in WPL history all to themselves. As the first team ever to win the title twice, and they have done it in just three seasons - a chapter like no other, a tale like few might ever be able to script - chronicled, packaged, signed and sealed, and delivered to their adoring fans! Wherever you look, you'll see a star, wherever you gaze, you'll find a champion! This brilliantly bullish band in blue and gold is just built different - a metronome of a side, mesmerizing, magical, marauding, and most tellingly, masters of winning the games that really matter! Slower ball dug into the track outside off. Prasad winds up and smacks it towards long on. Just a single, though, and the Mumbai Indians players are going absolutely ballistic out in the middle. Some of their bench run out from the dugout to join those in the middle, Harmanpreet looks up to the heavens, and DC, trumped in the final yet again, do not know where to look. This was their game to be won, this was their chase to be aced, but when push came to shove, they fell short. Like they did against this opposition at this venue in 2023, and like they did last year in front of their home fans!

slower ball angled in full on the pads. Charani heaves it towards deep square leg and that will be just a single. MI can sense it!

oh my word - where has that come from?! Niki Prasad, you beauty! Floated up full on middle and off. Prasad dances down the track and clobbers the living daylights out of this one. High and handsome over deep mid wicket!
