Late cameos from Naman Dhir (28) and Corbin Bosch (11)* pushed Mumbai past the 160-mark, finishing at 162/6.

A Record-Breaking Blitz
Entering at number three, Sameer Rizvi took control of the game. Despite the early wickets, Rizvi played with fearless aggression, smashing 7 fours and 7 sixes. He shared a vital partnership with Pathum Nissanka (44), effectively taking the game away from Mumbai's reach. Rizvi fell just short of a century, departing for 90 in the 17th over, but the damage was already done.
David Miller (21)* and Tristan Stubbs applied the finishing touches, with Miller hitting a boundary off Corbin Bosch in the 19th over to seal the win.
