Kishan took matters into his own hands and started to accelerate. 

The comeback man, Suryakumar Yadav did not open his account and fell victim to Anrich Nortje. Kishan was joined by Hardik Pandya and the former was dismissed Axar Patel for 42 off 23. Pandya however, continued his abysmal strike rate and walked back after an arduous 39 off 33. Tristan Stubbs showed intent after the departure of the skipper and Tilak Verma had one run to contribute. But it was Romario Shepherd who stole the show.

Coming into bat at number seven, he faced just 10 deliveries. Nortje walked in to bowl the 20^th over and he was taken to cleaners by the Caribbean.

MI posted a very proactive 234 runs on the board.
