IPL 2022: 'Slower ball paid off' - Daniel Sams after bowling Mumbai Indians to victory

Daniel Sams, who conceded just three runs in a dramatic last over to help Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat Titans by five runs, said he stuck to his slower deliveries and it was an "awesome" feeling to finally take his team over the line. Gujarat Titans needed nine runs from the last over bowled by Sams, but they could score just three. "Awesome we got over the line, it went back and forward. 9 runs off 6 balls made me feel I have nothing to lose and the odds are in the batter's favour," Sams said after the match.

Mumbai Indians Predicted XI vs Gujarat Titans, IPL 2022: Rohit Sharma May Replace Hrithik Shokeen With Murugan Ashwin

Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) fixture at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. MI will be hoping to register back-to-back wins after opening their account against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their previous match. However, skipper Rohit Sharma can bring back premium leg-spinner Murugan Ashwin in place of Hrithik Shokeen to add depth to their bowling line-up and to tackle the hard-hitting finishers in the GT batting line-up.

Mumbai Indians for not retaining Hardik Pandya in the IPL retention window was issues with his fitness. Pandya did not bowl at all during IPL 2021, prompting Mumbai Indians not to hedge their bets on his fitness. Whatever be the actual reason for his non-retention, the net gainer has been debutants Gujarat Titans, whom the Baroda allrounder has led to eight wins so far while contributing 309 runs in nine matches and taking four wickets. On Friday at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium, it will be an emotional moment for Pandya as the Titans, looking to get back to winning ways after their eight-wicket loss to Punjab Kings, lock horns with Mumbai Indians. The latter will look to build on their solitary win against Rajasthan Royals in their last encounter. Mumbai’s problems stem from lack of runs from captain Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Keiron Pollard apart from the paucity of wickets from pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. The latter has taken five scalps, three of them in a single match, in nine matches at an economy of 7.45. The bowlers, as head coach Mahela Jayawardene highlighted in a pre-match virtual conference, have failed to dominate powerplay periods.
