The statement of the bowling coach of Mumbai Indians came after the defeat from Lucknow Super Giants, said – we are repeating the same mistake
Lucknow. Mumbai Indians bowling coach Shane Bond expressed his disappointment with the bowling unit for conceding more runs in the last over against Lucknow Supergiants, saying that his team is repeating the same mistake again and again. Mumbai needed 11 runs to win in the last over of the match played on Tuesday, but returning from injury, left-arm fast bowler Mohsin Khan bowled brilliantly to give Lucknow a five-run win. Lucknow Supergiants were struggling to score runs at 123 for three in 17 overs but Mumbai gave away 54 runs in the last three overs.
During this, 24 runs were scored in the 18th over of Chris Jordan. Bond said at the post-match press conference, “The most disappointing thing for me is that the plans we talk about don’t stick to them on the field.” We were very clear about what we wanted to do on this wicket for players like Marcus (Stoinis). We had made a plan for bowling to him but did not bowl accordingly.
Lucknow had lost three wickets for 35 runs in the seventh over. Stoinis then shared an 82-run partnership for the fourth wicket with captain Krunal Pandya (retired hurt at 49). Bond said, “We were brilliant for the first 15 overs. We bowled the way we wanted to. One player put pressure on us. Rashid Khan did the same to us in the last match. Although we had not lost the match till then, but lost this match.
