While chasing 207 runs given by CSK at Wankhede, at one time Mumbai was losing three wickets for 130 runs. On such an occasion, Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya was out after scoring only 2 runs in 6 balls. As soon as he was out, Tim David and Romario also could not last long. Mumbai lost due to the batsmen coming under pressure.

After the defeat, cricket fans were seen disappointed with Hardik Pandya for his poor batting performance. Meanwhile, after the end of the match, Captain Pandya discussed the reasons for the defeat. He clearly said that today Pathirana has made a difference. He came with a plan. He also seemed shrewd in his approach.

Hardik said that it (the target) was definitely achievable, but Pathirana bowled very well. He had understood how to throw the ball. Anyway, there is a man (Dhoni) behind the stumps who tells them what work they have to do. Where are you getting help from? Talking about the pitch, it (the pitch) was rising a little which was making it difficult. We needed to bat well and show intent. We were going well in the run chase until Pathirana took two wickets in the middle overs. We had to see what was best at that time. Or how we could have done something different.
