The game resumed at 12:30 AM and was reduced to 19 overs. GT's revised target became 147, with 15 runs needed off the final over. Deepak Chahar took the ball but MI already were on a bad side of things as they were penalised for a slow over-rate, reducing the number of fielders allowed outside the inner circle to four. Despite all, the pacer claimed a wicket, adding to the intense, Super Over-like finish, but MI could not get the win.
