What happened in the last IPL match at Wankhede?
The last match was played on May 6, with GT beating MI by 3 wickets (D/L)
The home side MI batted first and posted a below-par 155/8. Openers Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma were dismissed for single digits.
Suryakumar Yadav (35), Will Jacks (53) and a late Crobin Bosch (27) cameo took the side to a decent total.
Defending 156 was a tough task against an in-form GT top order, but Trent Boult worked his magic and removed Sai Sudharsan early for just 5 runs. Shubman Gill (43) and Jos Buttler (30) steadied the ship but with the threat of rain, they were still behind the required rate.
However, they managed to win the match in the end after the game was revised to 19 overs, with GT needing 15 runs off 6 balls. A no-ball in the final over hurt MI as Coetzee's six and Tewatia's boundary sealed the game for the visitors.
