SRH beat MI by 31 runs | Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians, Highlights And Cricket Score 23th T20 Match
Indian Premier League, 2018
Date: Apr 24, 2018 Start Time: 20:00 IST | 14:30 GMT | 20:00 LocalVenue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Under pressure after slumping to their fourth loss in five games, defending champions Mumbai Indians have the onerous task of re-discovering their winning touch when they lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL match. MI had started their campaign with three losses on the trot before a victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore arrested the streak, but the three-wicket defeat yesterday in Jaipur to Rajasthan Royals, their fourth last-over setback, has put them under tremendous pressure.
With nine games left before the play-off stage, MI find themselves in a difficult situation to win at least seven of them to improve their chances. As such, a win over SRH tomorrow is imperative to keep them in the hunt. Sunrisers too have slipped from their earlier top perch after suffering back-to-back defeats, following three straight wins, and would be as keen to bounce back to winning ways.
MI’s campaign has been led from the front by local product Suryakumar Yadav who has been the top batsman with a consistent run of good scores in the opening slot which has left him four short of reaching the 200 mark for the season. However, lack of runs from Rohit Sharma barring one match-winning knock of 94 against Royal Challengers Bangalore has hurt badly the three-time champions’ run and they need their inspirational captain to make it up with a big knock against SRH.
Another major disappointment has been the big West Indian Kieron Pollard who has mustered just 54 runs in five games. He is in danger of being left out at the bench. The Trinidadian’s compatriot Evin Lewis has been neither outstanding nor a total let-down with the bat, but the Pandya brothers — Hardik and Krunal — have not sparkled with the bat.
Pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah showed he is close to his best in yesterday’s game against RR although he could not get MI across the finish line with a final burst of wickets, while Mustafizur Rahman has been a good foil. Mitchell McClenaghan has got among the wickets but has leaked runs too while the Pandya siblings have done a decent job with the ball. MI have not made too many changes to their playing eleven and could mull over it seriously before it is too late.
Sunrisers’ campaign had begun in pretty impressive fashion with three wins on the trot but successive defeats to Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings have dented their progress and confined them to the lower half of the table. While captain Kane Williamson has been in superb form, carrying the batting on his shoulders to amass 230 runs in five games, the other batsmen, including Shikhar Dhawan, have not given him adequate support.
Wridhiman Saha has been particularly below par with the bat with a tally of a measly 62 runs and needs to buck up quickly or lose the spot to Shreevats Goswami. Yusuf Pathan showed glimpses of his old attacking self against RR with a quick 27-ball 45, but overall his batting has been below par. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been the stand-out performer in bowling and the visitors would be hoping for the others to chip in too.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians Highlights And Cricket Score 23th Match - T20 Summary
Phew! What has hit Rohit Sharma and his men? They are finding ways to lose this season. Today they had it on the plate but still failed to cross the finish line. On the other hand, Hyderabad will be really boosted with this win. Their batters couldn't come to the party but their bowlers put their hands up and got the job done with a clinical show to end their two-match losing streak. That's all from this game. Tomorrow we have Bangalore taking on Chennai in their own den. The action starts at 2000 IST. Do join us for all the action. Goodnight and cheers!
Man of the Match has been handed to Rashid Khan. Remember, he was taken to the cleaners in the previous two games but boy, he has redeemed himself tonight. His figures of 4-1-11-2 is something you wouldn't see every night. Well done, Rashid!
Once that was done, Suryakumar Yadav was going along well and got support from Krunal Pandya. Both were cruising but it was Rashid Khan, who made good use of the review and removed the latter. Post that, the visitors just speared in and kept chipping away at the wickets to not let Mumbai come back in the game. All their bowlers shared the spoils but it was Siddarth Kaul who stole the show with a 3-fer to his name. Also, they did it without their strike bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which demands them a huge round of applause.
Just sit back and laud this bowling effort displayed by Hyderabad. Champion stuff from Williamson's men and they have beaten Mumbai for the second time this season. After how the first innings panned out, it needed a miraculous effort on the part of Hyderabad's bowlers to get the job done. They started off on a brilliant note as they nipped out three wickets inside the first six overs and handed Mumbai an unwanted record - lowest Powerplay score this season.
Basil Thampi to Mustafizur Rahman. OUT! It's all over from Mumbai! Short of a length delivery, angling in on middle, Rahman looks to play the pull shot but gets a top edge. Deepak Hooda, the substitute gets underneath at mid-wicket and takes it comfortably. Celebrations all around in the Hyderabad camp as they have managed to defend the second lowest ever total in the history of the tournament.
Basil Thampi to Jasprit Bumrah. Backs away and flat bats it down to long on for a single.
Basil Thampi to Jasprit Bumrah. Pacy length delivery outside off, Jasprit Bumrah swings hard but only connects with thin air.
Basil Thampi to Mustafizur Rahman. Looks to pull this but gets it off the splice, past the man at short mid-wicket for one.
Basil Thampi to Mustafizur Rahman. Length delivery outside off, a play and a miss.
Siddarth Kaul to Jasprit Bumrah. Just past the stumps! Fuller and curling back in from outside off, Bumrah gets down to swipe it across the line but the ball scoots under his bat and misses the stumps by just a bit.
Siddarth Kaul to Jasprit Bumrah. FOUR! A boundary out of nowhere! Back of a length delivery, angling in, Bumrah swings across the line but drags it off the inside edge through backward square leg for a boundary.
Siddarth Kaul to Hardik Pandya. OUT! That's the game for Hyderabad! Digs in another short delivery outside off. Hardik swings again across the line but there is some extra bounce which takes the top edge. The ball lobs high in the air and Basil Thampi at third man comes a couple of steps ahead and takes it easily. The heads go down in the stands as the man who could have got them closer to the target is walking back.
Siddarth Kaul to Hardik Pandya. Another miss! Kaul drops it on a shorter length outside off, he is hitting the deck hard. Hardik gives it his all but doesn't connect.
Siddarth Kaul to Hardik Pandya. Swing and a miss! On a back of a length outside off, Hardik looks to pull but misses.
Siddarth Kaul to Jasprit Bumrah. In the air... ohhhh, DROPPED! On a back of a length outside off, Bumrah looks to dab it away but it bounces a bit more. Takes the top half of the bat and flies towards widish slip where Dhawan dives full length to his right but the ball goes off his fingertips. Great effort. A single taken.
Rashid Khan to Hardik Pandya. A maiden from Rashid! Would you believe it? What a bowler! He has redeemed himself tonight in an emphatic manner. Quicker delivery, skidding in, Hardik pats it down. 39 to win from 18 balls. 4-1-11-2 finishes Rashid, wow!
Rashid Khan to Hardik Pandya. Another dot ball! Stays back to a flattish delivery, delivered at 101.4 kph, dabbed to backward point.
