Continuing their troubles since the start of the Indian Premier Le𝄹ague (IPL) 2018, Mumbai Indians on Tuesday lost fifth of the six matches they have played in the tournament so far.
The 23rd match of ongoing IPL, played at the Wankhede Stadium, saw S𒐪unrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defending the lowest total of the season against Mumbai Indians (MI), ascending to number 3 of the points table and pushing Mumbai to the 7th spot.
ꩲAfter being put to bat first, SRH set a target of 119 runs for (MI but the hosts surrendered before SRH bowlers and were all out for just 87.
SRH also managed to register their maiden victory at Wankhede Stadium as Mumbai lost 3 quick wickets, including that of captain Rohit Sharma, who failed to make any significant contribut🌳ion to the team total.
SRH bowlers Shakib Al Hasan and Rashid Khan were instrument🎀al in restricting Mumbai batsmen and Siddharth Kaul provided a good hand, clinching 3 wickets.
Rashid got the better of Pollard as the big man fell to a good delivery by the bowler and half the team ඣwas back in the pavilion. The sole good scorer for MI, Suryakumar Yadav fell in the 15th over at a score of 34 runs, giving a boost to the momentum created by SRH bowlers.
Soon Mitchell McClenaghan and Mayank Markande followed him to the pavilion as Siddarth Kaul sent them back in the same over. MI was under pressure as everything was going in favour of SRH bowlers. All eyes were on Pandya as he had a b🍒ig responsibility to rescue his team but he soon lost his wicket in the 18th over.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to SRH win over MI:

Outstanding defence from the . Without Bhuvi, defending 118 against a MI line up with superstars is an excep🎉tional effort. Am very impressed with Sid Kaul who has been so consistent in the death overs. For Mumbai, it looks difficult to comeback after this

Easily Sunrisers's toughest, most significant win this season yet. Terrific bowling, fielding, superb captaincy in defending a paltry 118
