Shivam Dubey finished the game with a couple of sixes to remain unbeaten on 13 off four balls.”I am happy that I took it till the end. My mindset was to stay in the attacking mode. Dew factor played an important part as well. We tried to punish the loose balls. The spinners also didn’t get much turn,” said Iyer after the semifinal at the Eden Gardens. He also praised Shaw for his cameo at the top of the order.

“When Prithvi was batting, you always keep getting runs. We told him to stay at least till the first six overs. Few of our good batters didn’t get a start. I was connecting almost on everything.

“I missed out on a few shots in the last game. The opposition is always under pressure in a game like this. HP have done well as well. “You can’t underestimate anyone. It is important to execute the plan on the given day,” Iyer said, referring to Mumbai’s opponents in the final.

Brief Scores:
Vidarbha:1 64/7 in 20 overs (Jitesh Sharma 46 not out; Shams Mulani 3/20), Mumbai: 169/5 in 16.5 overs (Shreyas Iyer 73; Akshay Karnewar 2/24).
