Bumrah sets record as Mumbai beat Lucknow
- Published
Jasprit Bumrah became Mumbai Indians' all-time leading wicket-taker as his side beat Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League by 54 runs.
The India bowler took 4-22, taking his overall tally to 174 and surpassing Lasith Malinga's 170.
Bumrah brilliantly took three of his wickets in the 16th over of Lucknow's innings, which ended any hopes of a successful run chase.
Ayush Badoni top-scored for Lucknow with 35 from 22 balls as they were bowled out for 161, chasing 216.
No batter for the Super Giants was able to push on, as the home side took wickets at regular intervals, with Trent Boult taking 3-20 and Will Jacks 2-18.
After losing the toss and being stuck in, Mumbai scored 215-7 to set Lucknow an imposing target.
Opener Ryan Rickelton set the tone for Mumbai with 58 from 32 balls, before Suryakumar Yadav provided the middle order flair we've come to expect, notching 54 from 28 deliveries.
There was also a late injection of runs from Naman Dhir, who struck an unbeaten 25 from 11 balls, including a final-ball six.
It is a fifth consecutive victory for Mumbai Indians, who move up to second in the table. Lucknow are sixth, two points off the play-off spots.
