India T20I skipper Suryakumar did not bat as he reportedly suffered an injury to his hand. However, it has been learnt that the injury is not serious since he appeared to be doing fine following the conclusion of the contest and was perhaps taking precautionary rest. Resuming at the overnight score of 6-0, Musheer Khan (40) and Divyansh Saxena (26) put on 60 runs for the opening stand before being separated by pacer R Sonu Yadav, who got rid of the latter.

The following Mumbai batters could only manage two 40-plus stands. Shreyas Iyer (22) and Sidhaant Aadhhathrao (28) managed a 49-run partnership for the third wicket. Mumbai captain Sarfaraz, who batted at No. 10 in the first essay for a mere six runs, fell for a four-ball duck in the second to Achyuth. Later, the pair of Mulani (68) and Mohit Avasthi (0 not out) added 46 for the ninth wicket.
