In return, Mumbai got off to a good start with Ishan Kishan (59) and Rohit (37) opening the innings. But the batsmen struggled to score runs in the middle and death overs.

Deepak Hooda and Prerak Mankad conceded wickets in the first two balls of the 3rd over of the innings bowled by Behrendorff. Spinner Piyush Chawla, who dismissed Hodibadi player Quinton de Kock (16) before Lucknow got out of this shock, achieved 20 wickets in the current season. In this way, the all-spinners of the Mumbai team took the wickets that were taken in 2022.
