SKY hits 50

Injury or not, SKY is just hitting the ball well and he brings up his half-century off 30 balls. However, his movements on the crease have been limited.

SKY in trouble?

Immediately after taking a run, Suryakumar Yadav clutches his groin and grimaces in pain. Hope, everything is alright with SKY. He is crucial to India’s T20 WC plans.

MI 31/3 after 4.1 overs

Rohit falters again

Team India will be concerned. Rohit Sharma falls for 4 and it’s Pat Cummins who has dismissed Rohit once again. The ex-MI skipper has scored 6, 8, 4, 11 and 4 in the last five innings.

MI 31/2 after 4 overs

18 extras

Pat Cummins won’t be happy. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jansen combined have conceded 18 extras in the first 18 deliveries. Off that, Jansen has bowled 5 wides and the rest have been byes.

MI 31/1 after 3 overs

Kishan gone!

Mumbai Indians were off to a flying start but Marco Jansen has bamboozled Ishan Kishan. The youngster falls for 9.

MI 26/1 after 2 overs

Rohit-Kishan begin

Mumbai Indians need 174 to win and Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have to survive Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s overs in the powerplay. For SRH, they need to defend 173 to put one foot in the playoffs.

SRH 173/8

Pat Cummins has played a gem of an innings. His 17-ball 35 powers SRH to 173/8 after the batting collapse. Hardik Pandya (3/31) and Piyush Chawla (3/33) were the stars for MI bowling apart from Jasprit Bumrah (1/23).

Cummins escapes!

It was a slip-up by Nuwan Thushara. The Lankan slinger almost took Pat Cummins out of the match with a beamer. It is a no-ball and SRH run three.

SRH 148/8 after 18

SRH 8 down

Piyush Chawla strikes on his final delivery after it was given wide the previous ball. And he gets a wicket, an important one of Abdul Samad as he is trapped leg-before. SRH are 8 down now.

SRH 136/8 after 17

Hardik 3/31

Hardik Pandya might have just won back Mumbai Indians fans with the spell of 3/31. He strikes again to remove Marco Jansen and complete an impressive spell of 3/31. SRH are 7 down.

SRH 124/7 after 16

SRH 6 down

Hardik Pandya has struck again. He gets rid of Shahbaz Ahmed as SRH lose their 6th wicket. And that bowling spell will alleviate a lot of concerns for Rohit Sharma. Hardik the batter might be a flop but he is slowly returning to form with the ball.

SRH 121/6 after 15.1

Shahbaz-Jansen hold fort

5 wickets down, Hyderabad are banking on Marco Jansen and Shahbaz Ahmed. The two are holding the fort after MI roared back in the middle overs.

SRH 120/5 after 15

Make it 5

Hyderabad have now lost 5 wickets. They were at 56/0 and now they are 95/5 as Piyush Chawla gets the big wicket of Heinrich Klaasen. The ball kept low and it took an inside edge to shatter his stumps.

SRH 96/5 after 12.2

Hardik strikes!

Mumbai Indians have roared back. Captain Pandya comes for his third over and he removes Nitish Reddy. The SRH batter could have been dangerous but now SRH have lost the momentum, losing four wickets under 100 runs.

SRH 92/4 after 11.1

Head falls

Finally! Travis Head had two lifelines but not third time. Piyush Chawla strikes in his first over as he removes Head for 30-ball 48.

SRH 90/3 after 10.3

Halfway!

Despite the two wickets, no harm done to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Travis Head is batting on 47 and Nitish Reddy has joined him on the crease.

SRH 88/2 after 10

Special guest!

3rd time lucky!

Ansul Kamboj has a wicket on IPL debut, finally. He cleaned up Travis Head but it was a no-ball and then Nuwan Thusara dropped an easy catch of Head. But this time, Kamboj has cleaned up Mayank Agarwal.

SRH 71/2 in 8 overs.

Bumrah strikes!

Jasprit Bumrah gets the first breakthrough for Mumbai Indians as Ishan Kishan dives to take a catch to get rid of Abhishek Sharma.

SRH are 56/1 in 5.5 overs.

SRH race to fifty

Expensive start for debutant

Debutant Anshul Kamboj starts his IPL career on an expensive note, concedes 13 runs in his very first over.

MI vs SRH Pitch Report: Runs galore expected

Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium is known for favouring batters. The pitch features short square boundaries, plenty of bounce, and pace to make strokeplay simple for the batters. It is expected that the pitch helps the fast bowlers in the first half of the game during the powerplay. It will allow them to take advantage of seam movement and take a few wickets. The pitch is unlikely to provide any assistance to the spinners.
