Hardik Pandya, the captain of the Mumbai Indians home squad, and Piyush Chawla shared three wickets apiece with the ball to inflict damage. While Jasprit Bumrah was his usual frugal self, Anshul Kamboj took one wicket on his IPL debut.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, batting first, scored 173/8 off 20 overs. Like in their most recent matchup with the Kolkata Knight Riders, MI’s bowlers gave it everything they had at the bat. With 48 runs scored, Travis Head led all scorers in the inning, and Pat Cummins finished with 35 runs without a run.
50 runs in 5.5 overs for the Mumbai Indians
As the three seamers eliminated the top three Mumbai Indians batting, SRH captain Pat Cummins used Test Match fields. When Rohit Sharma was out, his worrisome form persisted, and Ishan Kishan fell for nine. With only a duck to his name, Naman Dhir’s team was in serious trouble.
Powerplay: Overs 0.1–6 (Required–52/3)
Instead of letting the opposition set the terms, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav persisted in targeting the SRH bowlers. After Suryakumar Yadav struck a fortunate six off Pat Cummins, the two played a few strokes.
First Strategic time-out for the Mumbai Indians (79/3 from 8 overs)
With Suryakumar Yadav attacking the Hyderabad bowlers, the Mumbai Indians players and supporters raised their voices once more. The crowd gasped as Marco Jansen hit a straight drive down the ground, which turned out to be the finest shot of the opening eight overs.
Mumbai Indians: in 11.4 overs, score of 100 runs
After eliminating the MI top three, the SRH bowlers were limited in their use of the ball. When SKY struck Nitish Reddy outside the square leg zone for a boundary, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak allowed the score to surpass 100.
Thirty-ball Suryakumar Yadav for half a century
The leading T20 batsman for India, Suryakumar Yadav, batted brilliantly once more to reach his 25th IPL fifty and his second in as many games. The 33-year-old briefly appeared to be struggling with his fitness during the game and had a gloomy expression on his face.
Second Strategic time-out for the Mumbai Indians (149/3 from 16 overs)
It appeared as though the SRH fielders and bowlers had given up by the time the second time-out was called. With both hitters doing well, MI just needed 25 runs from the final 4 overs to win, thanks to the combined efforts of Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma.
