Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a high-scoring clash at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
Chasing a humungous target of 236, SRH started well with Jason Roy (34) and Abhishek Sharma (33) putting 64 runs on the board in 5.2 overs. But as soon as the 2016 champions lost Roy, it opened the flood gates, and SRH 🃏kept losing wickets at regularཧ intervals.
Although captain Manish Pandey held his end, but he didn’t get enough support from other batsmen. Pandey remained unbeaten on 69 off 41 balls as SRH could only manage to score 193/8, losing the contest by 42 runs.
Earlier, Mumbai posted their highest total in the history of IPL, courtesy of explos🎐ive knocks by Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav.
Ishan gave MI a solid start and showed his intent from the word go. The wꦦicketkeeper-batsman reached his half-century off just 16 deliveries. He scored 84 runs off just 32 balls, includ♒ing 11 fours and four sixes.
Similarly, Suryakumar carried on the momentum after Ishan’s dismissal and made sure MI reached their highest total. The Pune-lad smashed 82 from 40 balls with the help of 13 fours and three maximums.
For Sunrisers, Jason Holder picked up four wickets for 52 in his quota of 4 overs. Apart from Holder, Rashid Khan (2/40) and Abhishek (2/4) also bagged a couple of☂ scalps. Surprisingly, Abhishek, who took two wickets in his first over, was not given any other chance 🙈to bowl in the match.

still have a solid core but the quꦿestion will be retaining them and making just a few strategic changes, especially with back-ups The surfaces tended to spook them but this is still a serious side.
