SRH vs MI Stat Highlights IPL 2020: David Warner Achieves Multiple Milestones as Sunrisers Hyderabad Qualify for Playoffs After 10-Wicket Triumph
Chasing a modest total of 150 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, David Warner and Wriddhiman Saha didn’t put a foot wrong, raining boundaries and sixes all over the park.
