Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and chose to field. Mumbai Indian batting was subdued by Sunrisers with Sran, Bhuvi and Mustafizur all excellent in end-overs as only 31 runs were conceded off the last five overs, Just only one over of 26 runs. Krunal’s 49 and Rayudu’s 54 helped Mumbai to post a defendable target, although all their efforts are in vain. But David Warner’s 59 ball 90 not out steered Sunrisers Hyderabad to their first win of the season after their bowlers kept Mumbai Indians to 142. Mumbai seamers apart from Southee bowled too short and paid the price. Southee’s late-swing yorker got Shikar Dhawan. David Warne who love slash, cut and pull, smashed boundaries against seamers and a big six down the ground against Burmah came off a short ball. He ended the game with 2 sixes in 3 balls off Mitchell McClenaghan over mid-off and deep square leg and ended the chase with 15 balls remaining.
