<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Match report:</strong> Winning the toss, MI chose to bat first, something unusual that we see at Sharjah. With skipper falling cheaply, an out-of-form Quinton de Kock consolidated in the middle. He partnered little with both Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav and made 67 of 39 balls. It was Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya, who contributed with the willow, following which Krunal Pandya struck 20 off just four balls. MI’s innings concluded with 208 runs on the board.</p>
