on a length, on leg stump, Harbhajan nudges it away to square leg for a single and that is the game
SRH vs MI, 10th match at Mumbai, Apr 12 2017 - Match Result
MI won by 4 wickets (with 8 balls remaining)
First Man of the Match award for Bumrah in the IPL and first defeat for Sunrisers Hyderabad in this year's IPL. That's all we have for you from this match. Do join us tomorrow for Match 11 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab at the Eden Gardens. Until then, it's goodbye from all of us here!
Shubham: "Powerful performance from MI and the fact that they are at 3 in points table with their biggies Joe,Rohit,Pollard yet to fire highlights just why they are such serious contenders this year..."
"It's generally a difficult ground to bowl in the end", says Jasprit Bumrah, Man of the Match. "It was a fixed plan and it worked today. Usually, when you have too many variations, you try and stick to one or two of them because if you try too much, you go for runs. It is always very beneficial when he (Lasith Malinga)is around, so I always keep asking him what I have to do and what needs to be done. Nowadays, we have to practice with the wet ball, with the dew going around in this ground, it is difficult."
"It was a perfect platform for us to showcase our talents with the ball because we all know how the Sunrisers, especially the top four, bat, so firstly credit to the bowlers for coming out and restricting them," says Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma. "When they execute their plans, it becomes easy for a captain to manoeuvre his field. We know how Warner plays upfront as well as Shikhar. Lot of credit goes to the bowlers and the fielders. Parthiv behind the wicket makes it easier for me to adjust my field. Very good performance from the bowlers and well-finished by the batsmen as well. Still early days, just three games, but we would like to take a lot from the three games. I could not have asked for anything more from each of the 10 players. But now the big challenge, we go to Bangalore. You must have seen both of them on the ground. They (the Pandya brothers) are expressive, that's just how they play. And we have given them the liberty to express themselves. It brings out the best from them and we also enjoy seeing that from the dressing room."
11.44pm It was Harbhajan Singh who set things up upfront, opening the bowling and taking two wickets in an economical four-over spell. And it is he that finishes it off, with the bat. Still no win for Sunrisers against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede. They have lost on all three occasions they have played at the Wankhede. No doubt that Mumbai were the better team tonight. They batted better and bowled better. Bumrah and Malinga played their part in limiting Sunrisers to a rather low total. It was a low score, all the more considering the effect of dew in the second innings and needed some good bowling. But Sunrisers' bowling wasn't as good tonight as they have come to be recognised for. Blazing start from Parthiv at the top, Nitish Rana once again proving himself on a big stage, and of course, a powerful finish from Krunal Pandya. Presentations in a bit.
"We were probably 20 or 30 runs short. It's a tough ground to defend and there was going to be dew," says David Warner, Sunrisers captain. "We needed a better score. If we sum it up, we were 20-30 short and one of us needed to get a big score. Credit to the bowlers. Tough circumstances with the dew. Bhuvi was excellent again. It was always in the back of my mind whether Rashid was going to be able to bowl with the wet ball, but credit to him. One full toss, but you can understand that. We need to go to Kolkata and start again with a positive attitude."
full, angled across, Harbhajan pushes it out to covers and it is a packed off-side field with everyone inside the circle
full and on the pads again, clipped away to midwicket. Deep midwicket runs in and they take him on for the second. Better throw and Harbhajan was gone. He was struggling on the second run. They all have a laugh at Harbhajan's running at the Mumbai dug out
on the pads, tucked away to deep midwicket for one
and Rana falls with Mumbai on the brink. Short of a length, he was looking to back away and sticks his bat out. But the ball moves away from him and hits the top part of the off-stump. The bail comes off and nearly hits the keeper's face as it flies back
full, change of pace, rolls his fingers over the seam and bowls it slow. But too wide and it is carved over extra cover
Bhuvneshwar has 41 wickets in death overs since 2014 - 7 more than any other bowler
fullish length, outside off, drops it in front of point for an easy single
short of a length, outside off, defended with an open face of the bat to backward point
Abhishek: "It's true that SRH didn't get enough runs on the board, but their bowling was really average tonight apart from Rashid. "
very full, squeezed out between mid-on and midwicket. Hardik wants a second but Rana denies him the run and rightly so
Nehra's figures are his most expensive T20 figures since 2014
Hardik comes in but Rana on strike
full toss ends Krunal Pandya's burst. It comes on at around thigh height and he looks to swing it over deep midwicket. Gets it off the high part of the bat and Ben Cutting latches on to it in the deep
Rashid's spell was the second-most economical four-over spell by a spinner in a chase in a night IPL game at the Wankhede
tries to go big over the leg side with a pull but gets cramped for room and ends up dragging it down to long-off
has that come off the glove? Short ball from Cutting again, does not give room this time. Coming on leg stump channel and not giving him the room to pull. But pandya tries to shovel it and gets a glove as the ball goes to fine leg
looks to run it down to third man and makes no contact
too full, outside off, carved uppishly over covers. Krunal Pandya doing it for Mumbai here
oh, what a shot! He got on top of the bounce and gave it an absolute whack. Dropping it short, fractionally, and offering up some width outside off. Pandya opens up his arms and swats a muscular pull over midwicket
good length, slower in pace, 115kph, on the stumps, defended back to the bowler
length, outside off, walks across and tries to carve it out through the off side, gets an outside edge to third man
shortish, outside off, swing and a miss from the batsman as he tries to cut
short of a length and angling into him, tucked off the hips through deep backward square leg. It's vacant in that region and he collects another boundary
that's a clean strike. Overpitched, outside off, Krunal walks across to meet the pitch and thumps it over long-on. Good swing and follow-through. Crowd finds its voice again
