The first delivery is dropped short and Vihari goes after it and ends up spooning it to point region where a diving effort from Pollard goes in vain as the West Indian drops the difficult chance. In fact, he is leaving the ground. He might have dislocated his finger in the process. OUT! This time Vihari has been caught by Rayudu at short midwicket as he attempts another pull. He scored 25 (23b, 4X2). Darren Sammy is the new batsman in the middle. A wide by Kulkarni levels the scoreline. And Dhawan takes the winning single as SH beat MI by seven wickets! ================================================================================ SH Over: 17 II Score: 127/2 SH are almost through.

Terrific batting from the southpaw! 12 runs from the over. ================================================================================ SH Over: 14 II Score: 94/2 Malinga has been brought back. This game is slipping out of Mumbai's hand with every passing over. A single off the first delivery taken by Vihari brings Dhawan on the strike.

Hanuma Vihari is the new man in the middle. ================================================================================ SH Over: 7 II Score: 43/0 Pragyan Ojha into the attack now.

Had Smith taken that catch, he would have pulled off a stunner! 11 runs from the over. ================================================================================ SH Over: 5 II Score: 25/0 Now Lasith Malinga into the attack. Sanga welcomes him with a flick to deep midwicket region for a boundary. A full stretched dive from Ambati Rayudu at point saves a certain boundary off the fourth delivery.

Eight runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 17 II Score: 100/4 Right! 24 deliveries remaining. MI haven't reached three figures yet. It's not an easy pitch to bat on. How far can he they go? We'll know after these final four overs. Mishra is back. He beats Pollard off his first delivery.

Rohit came down the track and found Ishant at long off. He scored 22 (22b, 4X2). Kieron Pollard is the new man in the middle. Smith sweeps the fourth delivery to deep midwicket region for a boundary. OUT! And Mishra has his revenge after having him trapped lbw. Smith has to depart after scoring 38 (40b, 4X3, 6X2). Ambati Rayudu is the n=ew man in the middle. Six runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 12 II Score: 74/2 Karan Sharma into his final over.

Five runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 11 II Score: 69/2 Mishra continues. And Ishant Sharma at long off boundary has dropped a sitter. Smith took the aerial route and lofted Mishra to long off region. Sharma was stationed there but he failed to catch that. It went for a six. Nine runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 10 II Score: 60/2 Karan continues. Sharma picks up a couple of runs driving the first delivery through covers. Off the next, he gets an outside edge and adds another two runs to his total. A single off the third brings Smith to strike who returns the favour by taking a single off the fifth. The over ends with another single. Seven runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 9 II Score: 53/2 Another leg spinner in Amit Mishra introduced into the attack. A single off his second delivery brings up the 50 runs for MI. Just four runs from the over. Time for a strategic break. ================================================================================ MI Over: 8 II Score: 49/2 Spin returns in Karan Sharma. Dwayne Smith shows his power and smashes the fifth delivery past the bowler for a boundary. He keeps the strike with a single off the final delivery. Seven runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 7 II Score: 42/2 Sharma continues. He has been brilliant today. Has taken two important wickets and hasn't leaked too many runs. End of another good over from the pacer. Just a single from it. ================================================================================ MI Over: 6 II Score: 41/2 Thisara Perera replaces Dale Steyn. Facing him is Dwayne Smith. His first delivery is safely defended back. Sharma gets off the mark with a drive through point region for a boundary. He follows that with another boundary that beats the mid-on fielder. Nine runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 5 II Score: 32/2 Sharma continues. And Sharma brings Tendulkar down even as the ball rushes past his defences to crash on the stumps. He scored 14 (12b, 4X2). MI lose their first wicket. In walks Dinesh Karthik. OUT! Ishant Sharma gets his second wicket in the over removing Dinesh Karthik for naught! That was pitched on off and Karthik went for an uppish drive. He ended up being caught by Karan Sharma at point region. He goes back for a duck. MI skipper Rohit Sharma is the new man in the middle. Just one run from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 4 II Score: 31/0 Steyn continues. No slip for Tendulkar. A short cover for Tendulkar. Steyn's second is a slower one and Tendulkar flicks him to deep midwicket boundary for a four. He follows that with another four to mid-on. That shot was also played in the air. Steyn follows that with a wide. A good start this by MI. Steyn has bowled two wides in the over so far. I think those two shots from Tendulkar have disturbed his rhythm a bit. 12 runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 3 II Score: 19/0 Kumar Sangakkara has immediately replaced Karan with pace in Ishant Sharma. Ishant oversteps and concedes a free-hit off his fourth delivery. Smith exploits the chance to the fullest and launches the ball over long-on fence for a maximum. Sharma keeps him quiet as he finishes the over with two dot balls. Nine runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 2 II Score: 10/0 Dale Steyn will share the new ball with Karan. Facing him for the first time today is Sachin Tendulkar. And the Master gets off the mark with an outside edge that goes to the third man off the second delivery. Off the final delivery, Tendulkar drives the ball through covers for a couple. Four runs from the over. ================================================================================ MI Over: 1 II Score: 6/0 Karan Sharma has the new ball. Facing him is Dwayne Smith. Partnering him is Sachin Tendulkar at the other end. And Smith launches the first delivery over Karan's head that heads to the mid off boundary. He picks a couple off the next. Six runs from the first over. ================================================================================ TOSS: Mumbai Indians have won the toss and elected to bat first. Sunrisers Hyderabad have very little time to recover from back-to-back losses as they face another formidable challenge in the star-studded Mumbai Indians in their IPL clash at the Rajiv Gandhi cricket stadium on Wednesday. The hosts would need to get their act together, especially in batting, to give the tough MI a run for their money and regain the impressive form they showed in the first half of the tournament.
