Awesome we got over the line: Mumbai Indians pacer Daniel Sams on conceding just 3 runs in last over against Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans needed nine runs from the last over bowled by Daniel Sams but they could score just three to lose the match against Mumbai Indians

Australian pacer Daniel Sams, who conceded just three runs in a dramatic last over to help Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat Titans by five runs, said he stuck to his slower deliveries and it was an "awesome" feeling to finally take his team over the line.

Gujarat Titans needed nine runs from the last over bowled by Sams but they could score just three to lose the match.

"Awesome we got over the line, it went back and forward. 9 runs off 6 balls made me feel I have nothing to lose and the odds are in the batter's favour," Sams said after the match.

"I got a few wide balls in the tramline and managed to execute it well. My intent was to stick to the best balls I could bowl, the slower one is the ball I go back to and it paid off." Mumbai were already out of reckoning for a play-offs berth and Sams said his side did not have the start they wanted in this IPL.

"After the eight losses, we looked at it as a mini-IPL with six games. We are trying to show what we can do and were able to pull it off which helps our confidence," said Sams.

MI captain Rohit Sharma praised his bowlers for pulling off the win.

"It was tight towards the back end, very satisfying as we were looking for this. Luck had to turn in to our favour, we will take this with both hands," said Rohit.
