Jaiswal was the decisive factor in the chase, scoring 101 off 50 balls in an innings marked by precision and pace. The left-handed opener struck 16 fours and one six, anchoring the pursuit while maintaining a rapid scoring rate. He was well supported by Sarfaraz Khan, whose quickfire 64 off 25 deliveries ensured Mumbai never fell behind the required run rate.
Earlier, Haryana set up the contest with a commanding batting display after being put in to bat. Captain Ankit Kumar led from the front with an aggressive 89 off 42 balls, while Nishant Sindhu added 63 off 38 deliveries. The pair laid the foundation for Haryana’s imposing total of 234 for three. Samant Jakhar chipped in with 31 off 14 balls before retiring hurt, while Sumit Kumar remained unbeaten on 16. For Mumbai, Sairaj Patil was the most effective bowler, finishing with figures of 2 for 44.
Mumbai’s chase began steadily, with Jaiswal and Ajinkya Rahane adding 53 for the opening wicket. Rahane scored a brisk 21 off 10 balls before Sarfaraz joined Jaiswal to forge a match-turning partnership. Their stand took Mumbai to 141, effectively swinging momentum in the batting side’s favour.
Sarfaraz’s innings, featuring nine fours and three sixes, complemented Jaiswal’s controlled aggression. Although Mumbai lost wickets at intervals, the asking rate had already been brought under control, allowing the lower order to finish the job with 15 balls to spare.
For Haryana, Samant Jakhar was the most successful bowler with 2 for 42, while the rest of the attack struggled to contain Mumbai’s batting.
The win lifts Mumbai after a nine-wicket defeat to Hyderabad in their opening Super League match, keeping their qualification hopes alive.
