Despite their sluggish start, MI still needed just 51 runs from their last five overs, with Suryakumar at the crease on 56. Andre Russel bowled the 16th over and Suryakumar will feel he should have done better with the knee-high full toss he was given second ball. Instead of launching it into the legside stands, he got a huge top edge that flew towards fine leg, where wicketkeeper Phil Salt was able to chase it down and take it comfortably in his gloves.
But it was Starc who really ended MI's chances. He bowled a spectacular 17th over, conceding just three runs. And with MI needing 32 off the last two overs, he conceded a six off the first ball of the 19th, but had Tim David caught at long on the next ball, had Piyush Chawla chip one to extra cover immediately afterwards, and then wiped out the innings with a yorker that took out Gerald Coetzee's middle stump.
After a rough start to the IPL, Starc returned in this match with figures of 4 for 33, having also dismissed Ishan Kishan with the new ball.
