Mumbai Indians kept their steady rebuild going through the middle overs, with Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir rotating strike smartly and gradually rebuilding the innings.
Suyash Sharma was introduced into the attack but couldn't break the rhythm as MI picked up easy singles early in the over. Dhir then broke free, launching a clean six to shift the momentum back towards MI. A miscued attempt off the next ball went off the inside edge onto the pad, but MI survived and kept moving.
The over ended with another single, taking MI to 75 for 3 after 9 overs.
Krunal Pandya continued to bowl a tidy spell, mixing accuracy with variation, but MI kept finding gaps. Tilak added a couple of well-run twos along with regular singles as both batters stayed composed under pressure.
After 10 overs, MI reached 82 for 3, steadily rebuilding without taking unnecessary risks.
Romario Shepherd returned for another over, and Dhir immediately counter-attacked with a powerful six. Despite a few tight deliveries, MI managed to keep the scoreboard moving with singles and a couple of extras in running between the wickets.
By the end of 11 overs, MI stood at 91 for 3 -- recovering well after the early collapse and slowly building towards a competitive total.
