Mumbai lost Parthiv Patel early in the second over but Rohit continued to score boundaries at will. Rohit along with Ambati Rayudu took Mumbai to 51/1 after Powerplay overs.

Rohit and Krunal Pandya then took Mumbai to 78/2 after ten overs. Krunal hit a six and a four off Imran Tahir's 12th over and raced to 35 in 15 balls with a four off Zaheer in the next over.
Rohit soon reached record-equalling 28th IPL fifty off 41 balls with the help of six boundaries, and continued to lead the Mumbai run chase. Rohit hit a four off last ball of Chris Morris's 18th to take his team to 133/4, needing 32 in final two overs.

Samson top-scored for the hosts with 60 off 48 balls with the help of two sixes and four boundaries and Duminy's unbeaten 31-ball 49 knock came with two sixes and three fours.
For Mumbai, Mitchell McClenaghan was the pick of the bowlers as he got the wickets of Quinton de Kock and Samson to finish with the figures of two for 31 runs in four overs.
