Right then, 163 is what Mumbai Indians need to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this season and they will be confident about it with that long batting lineup. The surface is on the slower side but if there is any dew, Sunrisers Hyderabad will have to bowl out of their skins to defend this one. Scores below 165 are rarely defended at this venue but it is all still possible. Let's find out who comes out on top. The second essay is up next.
Will Jacks, the top performer with the ball for MI, is down for a chat. He says that there is a bit of turn and grip for the spinners and the slower ones and holding up as well. Add that they are happy with the target but they will also have to bat well. Says the Powerplay will be important and hopefully they start well and take the game deep and chase it. Ends by saying that SRH would have seen them how they bowled, and they will do the same things so they need to be a bit careful as well.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are known for their free-flowing hitting but the openers simply couldn't get going in the Powerplay. They faced a lot of slower deliveries but Abhishek Sharma did manage to ride his luck and get 40 crucial runs as Travis Head simply couldn't get going. The middle order also faced difficulty in finding the fence and even though not many dot balls were bowled, SRH were forced to settle for plenty of singles. Heinrich Klaasen did manage to get his side some much-needed momen
Mumbai Indians were on the money from the start and bowled brilliantly up top as their three experienced pacers came to the fore. After the Powerplay, it was a different story as Karn Sharma was out injured and with two left-handers out in the middle, Will Jacks was tossed the ball and he didn't disappoint. An extended spell for Jacks and he picked up two wickets. Hardik Pandya also got a wicket and kept things tight at the other end. The likes of Boult and Bumrah got those yorkers in at th
That is a masterclass in bowling from the home side and yet it feels like the visitors have got to a score that could be around par on this particular surface. Mumbai Indians will be fairly happy with the total on the board but will feel they could have restricted SRH for fewer runs as well. SRH, though, will be grateful for Klaasen and Verma, who did get a few big hits away at the death and took them over the 160-run mark.

Jasprit Bumrah to Pat Cummins, It is a legal ball! A yorker again and down the leg side this time, Pat Cummins shuffles across and misses his flick shot.

Jasprit Bumrah to Heinrich Klaasen, 1 run.

STRATEGIC BREAK! The innings of SRH hasn't taken off, and they are reeling at 95 runs after the 14 overs, which they wouldn't have thought, as they have lost just three wickets. The batters have tried to break through, but they have failed in that, and the pitch is not that flat where you can play on the up. Heinrich Klaasen will have to bat out here till the end to make sure that SRH go past 150 mark which should be a defendable score.
Hardik Pandya to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Misses the straight yorker by a couple of inches this time and Nitish Kumar Reddy hits the low full toss down to long on for a single. SRH need boundaries but they can't get any timing at the moment.

Strategic Break! SRH 68/2 in 8.4 overs and this has been a sluggish inning thus far from the Men in Orange and with Abhishek Sharma back in the hut along with Ishan Kishan, Travis Head needs to step up. Mumbai have bowled well with their pacers getting some swing early on and they made good use of the slower deliveries as well. There is some purchase for the spinners as well and SRH just haven't found rhythm thus far. Let's see how the crucial middle phase pans out as Nitish Kumar Reddy walks

Ishan Kishan walks out to bat now.
Uh, oh! Hardik Pandya seems to have just twisted his left ankle here and has probably signalled for the Impact sub right away. This could be very, very bad news for the Mumbai Indians. For now, the physio is out to have a look. Hopefully, Pandya can play a part in this game. Hardik is getting that left foot heavily strapped, and he might try to play through the pain here, but it doesn't seem good for MI with Karn Sharma also off the field at the moment with a split-webbing. Some positive news

Strategic Break! SRH 68/2 in 8.4 overs and this has been a sluggish inning thus far from the Men in Orange and with Abhishek Sharma back in the hut along with Ishan Kishan, Travis Head needs to step up. Mumbai have bowled well with their pacers getting some swing early on and they made good use of the slower deliveries as well. There is some purchase for the spinners as well and SRH just haven't found rhythm thus far. Let's see how the crucial middle phase pans out as Nitish Kumar Reddy walks

Ishan Kishan walks out to bat now.
Uh, oh! Hardik Pandya seems to have just twisted his left ankle here and has probably signalled for the Impact sub right away. This could be very, very bad news for the Mumbai Indians. For now, the physio is out to have a look. Hopefully, Pandya can play a part in this game. Hardik is getting that left foot heavily strapped, and he might try to play through the pain here, but it doesn't seem good for MI with Karn Sharma also off the field at the moment with a split-webbing. Some positive news

The skipper of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Pat Cummins, says that he is fine to bat first as the wicket looks pretty good and they are also going in with the same team. Adds that the guys have been training here in Mumbai, and they are looking fresh to go. Mentions that about the break that they have got, it depends on each individual, and sometimes, you like it and sometimes, you donât, but the five days have passed quite quickly. States that the ball is reversing at a couple of venues where it is d
Hardik Pandya, the captain of Mumbai Indians, says that his decision to bowl first is a lot to do with the dew factor. Adds that last time they practiced, there was a lot of dew and it tends to become good for batting in the second innings.

Mumbai Indians
166/6(18.1 Overs)
We are back for the all-important run chase!
... The Run Chase ...
Right then, 163 is what Mumbai Indians need to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this season and they will be confident about it with that long batting lineup. The surface is on the slower side but if there is any dew, Sunrisers Hyderabad will have to bowl out of their skins to defend this one. Scores below 165 are rarely defended at this venue but it is all still possible. Let's find out who comes out on top. The second essay is up next.
Will Jacks, the top performer with the ball for MI, is down for a chat. He says that there is a bit of turn and grip for the spinners and the slower ones and holding up as well. Add that they are happy with the target but they will also have to bat well. Says the Powerplay will be important and hopefully they start well and take the game deep and chase it. Ends by saying that SRH would have seen them how they bowled, and they will do the same things so they need to be a bit careful as well.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are known for their free-flowing hitting but the openers simply couldn't get going in the Powerplay. They faced a lot of slower deliveries but Abhishek Sharma did manage to ride his luck and get 40 crucial runs as Travis Head simply couldn't get going. The middle order also faced difficulty in finding the fence and even though not many dot balls were bowled, SRH were forced to settle for plenty of singles. Heinrich Klaasen did manage to get his side some much-needed momen
Mumbai Indians were on the money from the start and bowled brilliantly up top as their three experienced pacers came to the fore. After the Powerplay, it was a different story as Karn Sharma was out injured and with two left-handers out in the middle, Will Jacks was tossed the ball and he didn't disappoint. An extended spell for Jacks and he picked up two wickets. Hardik Pandya also got a wicket and kept things tight at the other end. The likes of Boult and Bumrah got those yorkers in at th
That is a masterclass in bowling from the home side and yet it feels like the visitors have got to a score that could be around par on this particular surface. Mumbai Indians will be fairly happy with the total on the board but will feel they could have restricted SRH for fewer runs as well. SRH, though, will be grateful for Klaasen and Verma, who did get a few big hits away at the death and took them over the 160-run mark.
Hardik Pandya to Pat Cummins, ! That's sensational hitting from SRH in the last overs and they have got past the 160 mark here!Â

Strategic Break! SRH 68/2 in 8.4 overs and this has been a sluggish inning thus far from the Men in Orange and with Abhishek Sharma back in the hut along with Ishan Kishan, Travis Head needs to step up. Mumbai have bowled well with their pacers getting some swing early on and they made good use of the slower deliveries as well.

For now, the physio is out to have a look. Hopefully, Pandya can play a part in this game. Hardik is getting that left foot heavily strapped, and he might try to play through the pain here, but it doesn't seem good for MI with Karn Sharma also off the field at the moment with a split-webbing.

All in readiness for this contest to begin! The two umpires are out in the middle as the players of Mumbai Indians can be seen in a huddle near the ropes. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head will be the opening pair for SRH as usual. Deepak Chahar has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...
The skipper of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Pat Cummins, says that he is fine to bat first as the wicket looks pretty good and they are also going in with the same team. Adds that the guys have been training here in Mumbai, and they are looking fresh to go. Mentions that about the break that they have got, it depends on each individual, and sometimes, you like it and sometimes, you donât, but the five days have passed quite quickly. States that the ball is reversing at a couple of venues where it is d
Hardik Pandya, the captain of Mumbai Indians, says that his decision to bowl first is a lot to do with the dew factor. Adds that last time they practiced, there was a lot of dew and it tends to become good for batting in the second innings. Mentions that it was a great win and a close one but it has given them a lot of confidence. Â Says that it was a collective decision to send the in-form batters up the order but they are going to back everyone as they have done so far. Further, they don't hav

TOSS - Mumbai Indians win the toss and Hardik Pandya has opted to BOWL first.
We are back for the all-important run chase!
... The Run Chase ...
Right then, 163 is what Mumbai Indians need to make it back-to-back wins for the first time this season and they will be confident about it with that long batting lineup. The surface is on the slower side but if there is any dew, Sunrisers Hyderabad will have to bowl out of their skins to defend this one. Scores below 165 are rarely defended at this venue but it is all still possible. Let's find out who comes out on top. The second essay is up next.
Will Jacks, the top performer with the ball for MI, is down for a chat. He says that there is a bit of turn and grip for the spinners and the slower ones and holding up as well. Add that they are happy with the target but they will also have to bat well. Says the Powerplay will be important and hopefully they start well and take the game deep and chase it. Ends by saying that SRH would have seen them how they bowled, and they will do the same things so they need to be a bit careful as well.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are known for their free-flowing hitting but the openers simply couldn't get going in the Powerplay. They faced a lot of slower deliveries but Abhishek Sharma did manage to ride his luck and get 40 crucial runs as Travis Head simply couldn't get going. The middle order also faced difficulty in finding the fence and even though not many dot balls were bowled, SRH were forced to settle for plenty of singles. Heinrich Klaasen did manage to get his side some much-needed momen
Mumbai Indians were on the money from the start and bowled brilliantly up top as their three experienced pacers came to the fore. After the Powerplay, it was a different story as Karn Sharma was out injured and with two left-handers out in the middle, Will Jacks was tossed the ball and he didn't disappoint. An extended spell for Jacks and he picked up two wickets. Hardik Pandya also got a wicket and kept things tight at the other end. The likes of Boult and Bumrah got those yorkers in at th
That is a masterclass in bowling from the home side and yet it feels like the visitors have got to a score that could be around par on this particular surface. Mumbai Indians will be fairly happy with the total on the board but will feel they could have restricted SRH for fewer runs as well. SRH, though, will be grateful for Klaasen and Verma, who did get a few big hits away at the death and took them over the 160-run mark.
Hardik Pandya to Pat Cummins, ! That's sensational hitting from SRH in the last overs and they have got past the 160 mark here!Â

Trent Boult to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Full and around the fifth stump line, pace-on, Nitish Kumar Reddy stays deep in the crease and drills it down to long off for a single.
STRATEGIC BREAK! The innings of SRH hasn't taken off, and they are reeling at 95 runs after the 14 overs, which they wouldn't have thought, as they have lost just three wickets. The batters have tried to break through, but they have failed in that, and the pitch is not that flat where you can play on the up. Heinrich Klaasen will have to bat out here till the end to make sure that SRH go past 150 mark which should be a defendable score.
Hardik Pandya to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Misses the straight yorker by a couple of inches this time and Nitish Kumar Reddy hits the low full toss down to long on for a single. SRH need boundaries but they can't get any timing at the moment.
