Chennai vs Mumbai, Live Score, Match 44, Indian Premier League, 2026

Anshul Kamboj to Will Jacks, OUT! CAUGHT! What a take from the debutant! Anshul Kamboj bashes the good length and bowls it around the top of off and middle. Will Jacks charges down the track again and looks to heave it leg side but ends up slicing it off the top edge. The ball sails over backward point and Ramakrishna Ghosh comes charging in from the deep. He dives forward to pouch it brilliantly with both hands. MI are 1/1.

Noor Ahmad to Ryan Rickelton, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Rickelton couldn't have picked a fielder any better there. This is full and tossed up around off. Rickelton gets down on a knee and slog sweeps it, but gets a bit of top edge and airs it straight down the throat of Urvil Patel at deep backward square leg, who makes no mistake. Rickelton's fun comes to an end after a proactive start. Noor looks up at the heavens as he gets his first wicket eventually and MI are 59/2.

Jamie Overton to Naman Dhir, OUT! TAKEN SPECTACULARLY! Sarfaraz Khan takes a fine catch and Overton has the reward for bowling a disciplined spell so far. Slower ball, full around middle. 123.8 kph. Dhir backs away, looking for room, but is deceived by the change of pace from Overton. He is through the shot far too early as he drives at it through the covers. Slices it uppishly, and Sarfaraz at extra cover moves swiftly to his left, times his leap well and takes a fantastic catch. Mumbai Indians are 134/5.

Ramakrishna Ghosh to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! A special moment for Ramakrishna Ghosh as he gets his MAIDEN IPL WICKET. He bends his back and bangs this hard into the pitch, just on off. Suryakumar Yadav sways away a bit and tries to cut it away but this is too close to his body and he fails to free his arms fully. He ends up hitting it aerially and straight towards deep point, where Dewald Brevis does not have to move much and takes a good catch. SKY hangs his head back in disbelief but his lean run in this IPL still continues.

Noor Ahmad to Tilak Varma, OUT! CAUGHT! That's a brave piece of bowling from Noor Ahmad and he picks up his second wicket. Noor offers more flight on this one and tosses it full and outside off. Tilak Varma is drawn into the drive and looks to smash it over covers but ends up mistiming it badly. The ball gets sliced up around extra cover, where Ruturaj Gaikwad calls for it and pouches it calmly, even though Urvil Patel from cover-point nearly barges into him. Mumbai Indians are 109/4.

Anshul Kamboj to Hardik Pandya, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Hardik's struggles come to an end. Perhaps this is the first ball that he timed well and picked the fielder instead. Kamboj gets his third wicket and is now level with Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the Purple Cap race with 17 wickets. Length ball around middle and leg. Pandya goes deep in his crease and looks to lift it down the ground, but gets more height than distance on it and Brevis at deep mid-wicket settles underneath it and takes a comfortable catch. MI are 151/7, 3 balls left.

Anshul Kamboj to Robin Minz, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Wicket number 2 for Kamboj. This is bashed into the surface, on a length, angling just outside off. Robin Minz stands tall and tries to punch it with an angled bat to the off side, through covers, but gets a fat inside edge and the ball crashes back into the stumps. Mumbai Indians are 139/6 and under tremendous pressure now.

Jasprit Bumrah to Sanju Samson, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jasprit Bumrah gets his man eventually and this is a massive wicket for MI. He bowls this on a hard length again and around off, gets some extra bounce off the deck. Sanju Samson, without moving his feet, just throws his hands at the ball, but the extra bounce takes the outside edge and goes behind, where Ryan Rickelton flies to his right and takes a fine catch into his gloves. CSK are 13/1, chasing 160 runs.

AM Ghazanfar to Urvil Patel, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Ghazanfar delivers the good yet again for Hardik Pandya and Mumbai Indians. Floated wide outside off, Urvil Patel collapses his back knee and looks to play the slog sweep across the line, but has to overstretch for it and loses his shape completely. Hence, he gets it off the inside edge and the ball goes on and rattles the timber. Urvil Patel departs after a breezy knock and Chennai Super Kings are 62 for 2 now.
