Sunrisers Hyderabad lost to Mumbai Indians by 13 runs after a poor batting display
Mumbai Indians beats Sunrisers Hyderabad by 13 runs at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai
Mumbai Indians snatched the victory out of Sunrisers' pocket even after having a solid start to their chase. SRH was bowled out for 137 handsomely by the MI bowlers and won the match by 13 runs.
Rohit Sharma elected to bat after winning the toss and had 55 runs opening partnership with his partner Quinton de Kock. Other batters could not capitalise on the strong start and managed to set a target of 151 with the help of Kieron Pollard's cameo of 35 off 22 balls in the end. Like the previous matches, Chennai's pitch behaviour was the same. It helped the SRH's spinner, who had a decent outing but not taking many wickets.
In the second innings, with Bairstow back at the top, he played his natural aggressive game tonight and gave a solid start to the chase by scoring 43 off 22 balls. Hardik Pandya's brilliant fielding efforts put the brakes on Warner's innings. Later, he ran Samad out with a sharp direct hit.
All-rounder Vijay Shankar tries to take the team home, but he was stopped by Jasprit Bumrah, who bowled exceptionally well in the game with bowling figures of 1/14. Boult finishes off in style by taking 3 wickets off 3 perfect yorkers. With this win, Mumbai Indians move to the top of the table with 4 points, and SRH is yet to open their account.
