Continuing their troubles since the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018, Mumbai Indians on Tuesday lost fifth൲ ofꦕ the six matches they have played in the tournament so far.
The 23rd match of ongoing IPL, played at thꦜe Wankhede Stadium, saw Sunrisers 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.
After being put to bat first, SRH set a target of 119 runs for (MI but the hosts surrendered before SRH bowlers and were all o🃏ut for just 87.
SRH also managed to register their mai⭕den victory at Wankhede Stadium as Mumbai lost 3 quick wickets, including that of captain Rohit Sharma, who fa𝕴iled to make any significant contribution to the team total.
SRH bowlers Shakib Al Hasan and Rashid Khan were instrumental in rܫestricting▨ 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 de𒀰livery by the bowler and half the team was 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 𓃲SRH bowlers. All eyes were on Pandya as he had a big 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:
