Lahore Lions bowlers sink listless Mumbai Indians

Mohammad Hafeez had tried to portray Lahore Lions as the underdog but as the match wore on, it was revealed to be a ruse as a bowling line-up that looked fit for an international team and confounded Mumbai Indians

Scorer: Chandan Duorah | Commentator: Siddarth Ravindran

S.M.Ahsan: "This is Umar Akmal's show for you. One of the few responsible innings he has played up to date. A blistering one. Lions have roared and announced themselves on the platform! Again important game tomorrow.. Go Lions!"

Kieron Pollard "We weren't able to get early wickets, but we pulled it back in the middle, can't fault the bowlers, but with a wet ball, we should have made more runs, Ojha bowled well, Bhajji bowled well, pressure is on us, we have never won Champions League easy, it is important that we bring our A-game tomorrow."

Nasir Jamshed: "It was a good pitch, but because of the weather, it helped the pacers as well. we have very experienced players, seven international players, hopefully we will qualify. The morale is very high after this win, because Mumbai Indians is a very big team."

Post-match presentation:

Mohammad Hafeez: "I think bowlers did their job, the later overs were very good, everyone bowled well, the target... I knew one good partnership would make the difference, and Umar Akmal was exceptional."

Man of the Match is Umar Akmal.

That's a wrap from day one of the qualifiers of the Champions League. Mumbai Indians and Southern Express have lost today, another defeat tomorrow and they can pack their bags. Join us tomorrow to see how they fare.

Bumrah to Umar Akmal, FOUR, all over, Akmal has finished it off, he pierces the gap between extra cover and cover, Lahore Lions win, defending champions Mumbai Indians lose, Umar ends on 38 off 14, there were some nerves developing towards the end of the chase but Umar's big hits has made sure Lions won with more than over to spare

Bumrah to Umar Akmal, SIX, this time it is a six! again over midwicket, drops it a bit short, sits up for Akmal, who clobbers that over the rope to level the scores

Bumrah to Umar Akmal, FOUR, poor from Bumrah, a full toss is smashed to the midwicket boundary, one-bounce to the rope, this game is over

Bumrah to Umar Akmal, no run, good ball to start the over, a yorker outside off, Umar again trying that flat-batted guide to third man, no contact

Malinga to Umar Akmal, SIX, length ball is clobbered towards long-off, will that be taken by Hussey? Hussey leaps but that is a yard too high and the ball crashes into the Lions dugout
