MI needed 17 runs off the last over with Tim David and Tilak Varma at the bat, chasing a difficult total of 213 at the Wankhede Stadium. Tim David hit three consecutive sixes in the last over against Jason Holder to secure the victory for his team

2) PBKS vs DC, IPL 2021
Shikhar Dhawan (92 runs off 49 balls) spearheaded DC’s effort in chasing a massive total of 196 at Wankhede Stadium. ‘Gabbar’ appeared to be on his way to a well-deserved hundred.
Dhawan was well-supported by Prithvi Shaw (32 runs off 17 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (27* runs off 13 balls). DC completed the chase with six wickets and 10 balls to spare.
3) GT v SRH, IPL 2022
Wriddhiman Saha (68 runs off 38 balls), who produced a magnificent half-century as GT chased 196 at the Wankhede Stadium, created a good platform. However, GT faltered in the middle-overs.
Rahul Tewatia (40* runs off 21 balls) and Rashid Khan (31* runs off 11 balls) won the match. However, the game was filled with suspense as 21 points were needed off the final over. Rashid Khan hit four sixes off Marco Jansen’s final over, including one off the final ball when GT needed three runs to win.
