Commentary

That's it from us, Bidipto and Rajarshi, as we conclude our coverage for the second ECS game of the day. Hammarby take on Stockholm Tigers next, and Pradeep and Rishab will be around to bring you all the action. Until next time, from us, it's goodbye!
Match summary:

Umea 84/6 (10 Overs)
Sohail Adnan 36(23), Sunil Kaklij 3/17 (2 overs)

Stockholm Mumbai Indians 87/7 (8.5 Overs)
Swapnil Kale 28*(12), Tahir Mujtaba 3/14 (2 overs)

Stockholm Mumbai Indians win by 3 wickets with 7 balls to spare

And that's the match! What a turnaround! What an innings this has been from Swapnil Kale! Who would have thought that the match would end this way? Certainly not Umea, who looked a tad shocked towards the end; they looked right on top for the best part of the middle-overs, especially after they took half the Stockholm Mumbai Indians side! Hankare looked to make an impact, but fell soon afterwards. Once Dhage fell in the 7th over, it looked like the match was heading for an Umea victory. But then, Swapnil Kale decided to go down with a fight, and he ended up triumphant! He had an ideal partner in Vipul Shirodkar, who was vital in keeping Kale on strike, and he chipped in with a crucial boundary as well! In the end, the Stockholm Mumbai Indians take the game by 3 wickets with over one over to spare! 
9.0
8.5 Kaiyum Miah to Swapnil Kale, full on leg, batter makes room and SMASHES it over long-on with a straight bat for a lovely SIX and that is the match to the Stockholm Mumbai Indians!
8.4 Kaiyum Miah to Vipul Shirodkar, full outside off, hit away magnificently to deep point for a run only in the end but the fielding is scrappy.
8.3 Kaiyum Miah to Vipul Shirodkar, full on off, batter stays back and lifts it over the top of the bowler for a well run two!
8.3 Kaiyum Miah to Vipul Shirodkar, WIDE outside off!
8.2 Kaiyum Miah to Swapnil Kale, good length ball outside off, dragged away with a flat bat to long-on for one.
8.2 Kaiyum Miah to Vipul Shirodkar, WIDE outside off and a bye!
8.1 Kaiyum Miah to Vipul Shirodkar, full outside off and hit away beautifully square of the wicket on the off side for FOUR! Wow! What a shot over the infield!
Kale might be dragging SMI to what seemed like an improbable victory a few overs ago! He just needs to keep his composure and hope Shirodkar doesn't take too long to give him the strike back!

7.3 Amir Husseini to Swapnil Kale, full outside off, another good hit to deep cover, and another FOUR on one knee! 
7.2 Amir Husseini to Swapnil Kale, full toss outside off, hit hard to cover and the misfield gives away a FOUR to the gap!

What a strange game this is turning out to be! Despite down to their last 4 batsmen, Stockholm Mumbai Indians will feel that they are still very much in the hunt! Only 26 needed off the last 3 overs! They just need Kale to stay there till the end, he looks to be the more accomplished batsman out of this lot!
