Tie score at the end of 40 overs. The score was also tied at the end of the first super over. At the end of the second super final, Punjab won with 2 balls in hand.
Those who have seen the second game of the day on the television screen can feel lucky. Because cricket fans have never had the rare privilege of seeing a pair of super overs in a single match. Bigger than that, two matches in one day, three super overs, this is a very rare event! This is the first time in the history of T20 cricket.
Such a strange cricket day was seen on Sunday. In the first match of the day, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in a super over. The match between Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians appeared in the second match the night before the excitement faded. Where Punjab won the battle of two super overs.
Cricket fans can thank the ICC for giving birth to such excitement. Because in the final of the 2019 ODI World Cup, New Zealand lost as a limit despite scoring the same number of runs in the super over against England. Cricket fans didn’t like the kiwis’ Kannada farewell due to the strange rules. The ICC has come under intense criticism. The rules were later changed. But the CPI itself may think the day will come when two super-overs will be needed.
In the 20 assigned overs, the collection of the two teams stood at 18 runs. Then in the first super, hitting first, Punjab can make 5 runs losing 2 wickets. Himshim Khan Punjab hitters were able to score runs on Bombay Bumrah’s fast pitcher’s ball. Punjab’s Puran took the catch on the second ball of the over. Rahul himself said goodbye with the last ball. Why Gayle wasn’t eliminated in the first super will be a big question.
Meanwhile, De Kock-Rohit Sharma from Mumbai continued to eat khabi in front of the goal of Mohammad Shamir from Punjab. Only 4 runs came in the first 5 balls. The last ball required 2 runs. De Kock ran after sending the ball through the coverage area. The first run was successful, but the next one timed out. Super again!
According to the IPL tweet, batsmen and bowlers who participated in the first super over will not be allowed to participate in the second super over. In other words, 12 of the 8 people in the two groups cannot be used. But the MCC rules say that only hitters who are in the super can’t go down. There is a lot of talk about this in the field. In the end, ‘unused’ Pollard from Mumbai landed with Hardik Pandya. Punjab’s pacemaker Jordan took two runs off the fourth ball of the over and Pandya was sacked. Although Pollard hit the long ball in the last over, Agarwal returned the ball from the edge with incredible skill. The target stood in front of Punjab 11 runs.
Punjab never made the same mistake again when batting in the super for the second time. The team obtained the result of sending Gayle on strike. Universe Boss hit a huge six with Bolt’s first ball. Agarwal hit with a single from the next ball. Agarwal took the opportunity to hit the edge. He ended the game by hitting the limit again on the fourth ball. Punjab scored a historic victory.
Earlier, after winning the toss and opting to hit, Quinton de Kock’s 53 and Kieron Pollard’s 34 on 12 balls gave Mumbai a 16-run goal against Punjab.
Punjab captain Lokesh Rahul kept the wheel rolling at one end despite losing to Mayank Agarwal (11) early on. Chris Gayle, who reached fifty in the previous game, could not equalize on this day. This Caribbean monster has scored just 24 21-ball runs. Nicholas Puran served 24 of 12 balls. Glenn Maxwell also failed again.
Rahul Deepak was fighting with Hooda. But when Rahul (7) left after 153 runs, Punjab started counting the mistakes. However, Chris Jordan and Hooda were dreaming about the team. Punjab needed 9 runs of 8 balls in the last over. Jordan reduced the goal with a limit on the second ball of Trent Bolt’s last over. The goal was 3 runs on the last 3 balls. But Bolt threw a great yorker on the fourth ball. So Hura took the single. I want 1 ball and 2 runs. But again the yorker. Now somehow run the bat on the side of the leg. Jordan was left out by Pollard’s shot after rushing to take a run. So the couple got over it!
