“Akash Madhwal 5 wickets in the eliminator after the 4 he took in the last league game which was a do-or-die game. Such a delight to see newcomers doing well. This is the season where many of the experience guys have had a great season and many newcomers have made a big mark. Congratulations Mumbai on an empathic win.
