| 0.0 : Hello and welcome to match no. 23. It is a clash between Mumbai and Hyderabad at Wankhede. Both the teams are eager for a win here today. The home side have not had the best of tournaments so far. They are second last on the table. Rohit Sharma would want to put all what has happened behind and get back to winning ways. It will be the perfect present for their mentor, Sachin Tendulkar, as it is his 45th birthday. |
| Kane Williamson's men on the other hand, got off to a flying start but now have suffered consecutive defeats. They too will be desperate for a win here as a victory will take them to third spot. However, it will not be easy against a Mumbai side which are surely favourites in familiar conditions for them. Both the sides have a lot of quality and we can expect another thriller. Stay tuned for the toss. |
| TOSS - Mumbai win the toss and elect to field. |
| Rohit Sharma starts by saying it is a good wicket and it is difficult to defend here. He is disappointed with the performance so far but further adds the guys are up for this challenge. Informs they are playing with the same side. |
| Kane Williamson says he wanted to bowl first. He hopes to bat well now. Informs they are going with three pacers and three spinners. Adds further it is great to have Shikhar Dhawan back in the team and also Mohammad Nabi makes his first appearance this season, he informs. |
| We are all set for the action to begin. The Mumbai players along with the umpires make their way out to the middle. Kane Williamson and Shikhar Dhawan will open the batting for Hyderabad. Jasprit Bumrah will open the bowling for Mumbai. Here we go... |
| 0.1 : J Bumrah to S Dhawan, Starts with a short ball. He tried to catch the batsman by surprise. Dhawan though watches the ball closely and lets it go through to the keeper. Good thinking by Bumrah. |
| 0.2 : J Bumrah to S Dhawan, This ball is on the pads, Dhawan tries to clip but gets an inside edge onto his pads. The ball rolls towards square leg and the batsmen run a single. First run for the game and it is off Dhawan's bat. |
| 0.3 : J Bumrah to K Williamson, FOUR! Williamson continuing from where he left off! Excellent placement and excellent timing. This is on the shorter side, Williamson rocks back and places it through cover-point to get off the mark in style. |
| 0.4 : J Bumrah to K Williamson, FOUR! Two in a row! This is even better than the last one. Bumrah over compensates by bowling very full outside off. Williamson drives it through cover-point and another boundary results. |
| 0.5 : J Bumrah to K Williamson, A single to follow two boundaries. This is on a length and around middle, Williamson works it towards mid-wicket for an easy run. |
| 0.6 : J Bumrah to S Dhawan, A full toss outside off, Dhawan is late into the drive and gets beaten. He could have actually should have put that away. Could have been three boundaries in the over but still a good one for Hyderabad, 10 from the first. |
| Mitchell McClenaghan will bowl from the other end. |
| 1.1 : M McClenaghan to K Williamson, Uppish but in the gap. Fuller and outside off, bowling to his field as he has a sweeper out on the off side. Williamson drives it to him and gets to the other end. |
| 1.2 : M McClenaghan to S Dhawan, FIVE WIDES! Poor from Kishan! This is down the leg side. Dhawan misses the flick and Kishan fails to collect it. The ball hits his gloves and goes to the fine leg fence. Hyderabad are off to a flier here. |
| M McClenaghan to S Dhawan, FOUR! Dhawan gets his first boundary! This is full and wide outside off. Dhawan slashes at it. It takes the outside edge and goes over short third man. |
| 1.3 : M McClenaghan to S Dhawan, OUCH! That must have stung. He hurt his hand in the last game he played and now his leg is giving him problems. The is on a fuller length closer to the off pole. Dhawan goes for the drive but gets an inside edge and the ball hits him just above the knee. There is no protection there and he is in pain. |
| The physio is out to have a look. Let us hope the left hander is fine. He is now fine to continue. |
| 1.4 : M McClenaghan to S Dhawan, OUT! Bowled 'em and the crowd here goes crazy! Dhawan's return is a short one. A fuller ball on off, this one shapes back in. Dhawan goes for the drive but gets an inside edge onto his pads and then onto his stumps. Early wicket for Mumbai, just what they needed especially after the start Hyderabad were off to. |
| Wriddhiman Saha is the next man in. |
| 1.5 : M McClenaghan to W Saha, BEATEN! Good bowling! This is full and angling away from the batsman. Saha is drawn into the stroke, away from his body but gets beaten. He could have left that. |
| 1.6 : M McClenaghan to W Saha, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Two in the over for Mitchell. Saha pays the price to be expansive first up. He again goes for a booming drive away from his body. It is the sucker ball and Saha is sucked into it. The ball takes the faintest of edges and goes into the hands of Kishan. He takes it and appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Saha's poor run with the bat continues. End of a double-wicket over. Mumbai right on top in this game. |
| Manish Pandey is the next man in. |
| 2.1 : J Bumrah to K Williamson, Good length on off, Williamson defends it solidly. |
| 2.2 : J Bumrah to K Williamson, Length around off, Kane guides it down to third man for an easy run. |
| 2.3 : J Bumrah to M Pandey, FOUR! What a shot to get off the mark! This is on a length around off, Pandey strokes it on the up through the off side. Finds the gap and there is no stopping the ball. |
| 2.4 : J Bumrah to M Pandey, Back of a length on off, Pandey plays a similar stroke he played on the last ball. There is a sweeper in the deep this time and the batsmen get only a run. |
| 2.5 : J Bumrah to K Williamson, The batsman has played it to the point region. The batsmen have run through for a single. |
| 2.6 : J Bumrah to M Pandey, Good length on off, guided through point for a run. |
| 3.1 : M McClenaghan to M Pandey, Comes from around the wicket and hurls it on a length outside off, Pandey is happy to make a leave. |
| 3.2 : M McClenaghan to M Pandey, FOUR! Straight down the ground! Gets a length delivery, angling in on middle, Pandey takes his front leg out of the way and goes bang over mid on for a boundary. He has walked in with intent, needs runs this season and looks like he's going to take the attack to the opposition. |
| 3.3 : M McClenaghan to M Pandey, Waits for a back of a length delivery, dabs it towards Krunal at short third man. |
| 3.4 : M McClenaghan to M Pandey, Comes back to over the wicket and angles it away on a length around middle and off, Manish walks across and taps it down on the pitch. |
| 3.5 : M McClenaghan to M Pandey, Short of a length delivery outside off, Pandey cracks it through cover-point. Seemed destined to go to the fence but Krunal in the deep comes sprinting to his left and does well to stop it with a slide. Saves two. |
| 3.6 : M McClenaghan to M Pandey, FOUR! Up and over! Slightly overpitched, served outside off, Pandey makes room and lifts it over mid off for a clean boundary. 10 off the over. |
| Hardik Pandya is into the attack. |
| 4.1 : H Pandya to K Williamson, FOUR! Streaky but Williamson will take it! This is bowled on a length around off, it shapes back in. Williamson tries to defend but the ball takes the inside edge and goes through short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 4.2 : H Pandya to K Williamson, Down the leg side and the umpire calls it a wide. |
| H Pandya to K Williamson, Length and on off, Williamson taps it towards point for a quick run. So six from the first two balls of this over. |
| 4.3 : H Pandya to M Pandey, PEACH! Movement off the pitch there for Pandya. This is on a length and around off, it shapes away after pitching. Pandey feels for it but gets beaten. |
| 4.4 : H Pandya to M Pandey, OUT! GONE! Hardik Pandya strikes! A needless shot from Pandey. He comes down the track and tries to go over covers to this length ball. He does not get the desired connection and it goes off the toe end towards Rohit Sharma at short covers. He takes an easy catch and Hyderabad have lost three in the Powerplay. Not many teams win the game after losing three within the first six overs. |
| Shakib Al Hasan is the next man in. |
| 4.5 : H Pandya to Al Hasan, Good length on middle, Hasan keeps it out off the front foot. Watchful by the left hander. |
| 4.6 : H Pandya to Al Hasan, Back of a length on off, Shakib punches it towards cover-point. Krunal Pandya from point runs to his left, dives and makes a good stop. He can't stop a single though. So a very, very good comeback after going for a boundary from the first ball by Pandya. 7 and a wicket from it. |
| 5.1 : M McClenaghan to Al Hasan, Shortish on off, Shakib punches it to covers. |
| 5.2 : M McClenaghan to Al Hasan, Fuller in length on off, this one shapes back in. Shakib gets it off the inner half towards mid on for a quick run. |
| 5.3 : M McClenaghan to K Williamson, OUT! RUN OUT! The last thing that Hyderabad would have wanted at this stage! But this was brilliant by SuryaKumar Yadav. This is on a length around middle, it is the slower one. Williamson works it towards short mid-wicket. He calls for a run and Shakib responds. However, looking at the fielder get to the ball quickly, Williamson asks Shakib Al Hasan to go back. Shakib is stranded halfway down the track. He turns in an attempt to get back but all he can do is |
| 5.4 : M McClenaghan to K Williamson, On a length around off, Williamson places it through cover-point for a run. |
| 5.5 : M McClenaghan to Y Pathan, Almost gone off the first ball! This is on a fuller on off. Pathan drives it but fails to keep it down. It goes towards mid off who dives forward but he collects it on the bounce. |
| 5.6 : M McClenaghan to Y Pathan, FOUR BYES! A good end to the Powerplay for Hyderabad but Mumbai will be the happier of the two sides. Once again Kishan fails to collect the ball this time though it was a touch one. Short ball on middle, Yusuf ducks under it. Kishan jumps and only manages to get finger tips to it and the ball races away. Hyderabad are 51 for 4 after the Powerplay. |
| 6.1 : H Pandya to K Williamson, BEATEN! Another excellent delivery by Pandya! This is on a length around off, it shapes away after pitching. Kane tries to keep it out but gets beaten. |
| 6.2 : H Pandya to K Williamson, FOUR! Excellent placement! Short and width on offer outside off. Williamson guides it through backward point. Third man runs to his right, dives but fails to stop it. |

| 7.2 : M Rahman to K Williamson, Bowls the length he should and the line is also good on off. Williamson guides it to point. |
| 7.3 : M Rahman to K Williamson, Another short ball and once again it is pulled with disdain through square leg. McClenaghan who has his tail up today, runs to his right, dives and makes a very good stop. Saves three for his side. |
| 7.4 : M Rahman to Y Pathan, Good length on off, Pathan defends it solidly. |
| 7.5 : M Rahman to Y Pathan, On middle, Pathan works it around the corner for a run. A milestone for Yusuf as he reaches 3K Indian T20 League runs. |
| 7.6 : M Rahman to K Williamson, Shortish on off, Williamson punches it off the back foot and through covers for a run. |
| Strategic break signaled! |
| 8.1 : H Pandya to K Williamson, OUT! How often have we seen this? A wicket after the strategic break. It is the big one of the Hyderabad skipper. Pandya gets his second. He bowls it on a length again around off, this one keeps coming in with the angle. Williamson picks the wrong ball to guide down to third man. It takes the inside edge and goes towards Kishan who dives to his left to take it. The players appeal and even before the umpire raises his finger, Williamson starts walking off. Half the |

| 8.3 : H Pandya to Y Pathan, The batsman guides it to third man. They pick up a single. |

| 8.5 : H Pandya to M Nabi, Back of a length on off, Nabi guides it past point for a run. |
| 8.6 : H Pandya to Y Pathan, Down the leg side, Pathan lets it be and the umpire signals a wide. |
| H Pandya to Y Pathan, A bumper and Pathan ducks under it. |
| Mayank Markande is into the attack. |
| 9.1 : M Markande to M Nabi, FOUR! A poor ball to start with! Short and on middle, Nabi has all the time in the world to rock back and pulls it. He hits it in the gap through mid-wicket and the ball races away. |
| 9.2 : M Markande to M Nabi, On the pads, worked through mid-wicket for a run. |
| 9.3 : M Markande to Y Pathan, FOUR! Swept and swept fine! Picks his spot there. Yusuf goes down on one knee and brooms it past the keeper. Second boundary from the over. |
| 9.4 : M Markande to Y Pathan, The googly, Pathan picks it and works it in the gap towards mid-wicket for a run. |
| 9.5 : M Markande to M Nabi, Floats it up on off, Nabi drives it through covers for a run. |
| Review time! An appeal for LBW has been turned down. Rohit Sharma wants it to be sent upstairs. Impact is an issue. |
| 9.6 : M Markande to Y Pathan, NOT OUT! So Mumbai lose their sole review! A poor one to be honest, it never looked close. Markande tosses this one up on off, it turns away. Yusuf Pathan lunges to keep it out but is hit on the pads. The players appeal and the umpire shakes his head. Rohit, after a chat with the bowler signals the 'T'.

| 11.1 : M Markande to M Nabi, OUT! TIMBER! The googly does the trick. He has been completely foxed there. So a good comeback by Markande after going for runs in his first over. Mayank tosses this one up on off, it is beautifully flighted. Nabi tries to go big but is done in by the turn into him. It beats the inside edge and hits the stumps. Nabi waits as he feels the keeper has knocked the bails off but he is given his marching orders. Another one bites the dust and Hyderabad are staring down the |

| 13.2 : J Bumrah to Y Pathan, Direct hit needed! This was the slower one on off, Pathan guides it towards point. There is hesitation between the two batsmen whether to go for the run. They eventually do. Lewis at point, picks the ball up and has a shy at the keeper's end but misses. Had he hit Khan was a goner. 100 up with that risky run. |
| 13.3 : J Bumrah to R Khan, OUT! Khan once again falls prey to Jasprit Bumrah this season. It is on a length around off, it shapes away a touch. Khan tries to guide it down to third man but the ball takes the outside edge and goes towards Kishan who takes a catch diving to his right this time. Another fine catch by the youngster. |

| Mayank Markande is back on. |
| 15.1 : M Markande to B Thampi, OUT! Excellent bowling change by Rohit Sharma as Markande strikes on the first ball. A poor shot by Thampi but what else can you expect from a tailender. Markande bowls it flatter on off, Thampi goes back and tries to cut but the ball is too close to play that shot. He misses and sees the ball hit his off pole.

| 16.5 : M Rahman to S Kaul, OUT! Kaul is way short! He finally puts bat to ball as he guides it towards Hardik at point. He wants a run as the fielder fumbles. Pathan, too, responds but then refuses. Kaul tries to turn and get back. Pandya recovers, picks the ball up and throws it to the keeper who whips the bails off and appeals.

| 17.5 : J Bumrah to Y Pathan, Outstanding work by Mayank! Flying Markande! A full toss outside off, Pathan does the smart thing as he tries to guide it over short third man. Markande there dives full stretch to his left and saves a certain boundary. |
| 17.6 : J Bumrah to Y Pathan, Pathan retains strike for the next over! On the shorter side, Pathan guides it towards point and sets off. The fielder has a shy at the striker's end but misses. Had he hit that, Sandeep would have been a goner. |
| 18.1 : M Rahman to Y Pathan, Walks across and goes for the sweep shot but misses it as it is very full outside off. |
| 18.2 : M Rahman to Y Pathan, A low full toss outside off, Pathan hits it towards cover where Markande once again makes a good stop in the deep. Pathan does not take the run. |
| 18.3 : M Rahman to Y Pathan, SIX! He connects and connects well! This is right in the zone for Pathan. Full and on middle. Pathan sends it sailing over the long on fence for a maximum. A much-needed one but they need many more. |
| 18.4 : M Rahman to Y Pathan, OUT! Mustafizur has the last laugh! Pathan though will feel he is unlucky here. This is short and on middle, Pathan rocks back and crunches it off the middle towards deep mid-wicket. Pandya there misjudges at first but still manages to take a good catch. That came at him quickly. HYDERABAD HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 118! |
| So an excellent bowling display by Mumbai to bowl Hyderabad out for the lowest total this season. After winning the toss and electing to field, Mumbai struck four times in the Powerplay to dent the visitors. Kane Williamson and Yusuf Pathan did try to steady the ship before the former fell after the first strategic break. Wickets then kept falling at regular intervals with every bowler except Krunal Pandya having one to their name. |
| Not a lot to write about the Hyderabad batting. Yusuf Pathan was their joint top scorer with Kane Williamson as both finished on 29. None of the other batsmen crossed the 20-run mark and that shows how dismal their batting performance was tonight. They now have to come out and defend a total which is way below par. The wicket is a little slow but Mumbai have a strong enough batting line-up to chase this down. Join us for it shortly. |
| 0.0 : We are back for the run chase. Should be a stroll in the park for Mumbai but you cannot write Hyderabad off. If they managed to pick up a few early wickets, we can have a game on our hands. Let's see how the second innings unfolds. Evin Lewis and Suryakumar Yadav stride out to open the batting. Sandeep Sharma will take the new ball first up. A slip in place for him. Here we go... |
| 0.1 : S Sharma to S Yadav, Swing for Sharma but the line was wrong. Down the leg side as it swings back in from middle. Yadav misses the flick and the Mumbai are up and running courtesy a wide. |
| S Sharma to S Yadav, Extra bounce this time! this one is on a length around off, Yadav does well to defend it. |
| 0.2 : S Sharma to S Yadav, Good length on off, Yadav defends it solidly. |
| 0.3 : S Sharma to S Yadav, On middle, worked through mid-wicket for a run. Yadav is off the mark. |
| 0.4 : S Sharma to E Lewis, This one stops on the surface. Length ball around off, Lewis defends it off the back foot. It goes uppishly but well short of the man at cover-point. |
| 0.5 : S Sharma to E Lewis, BEATEN! The away swinger on off, Lewis tries to defend it but gets beaten. |
| 0.6 : S Sharma to E Lewis, This time brings it back into the left hander. He tries to defend it off the back foot but misses to get hit on the pads. The players appeal but the umpire shakes his head. A good first over by Sandeep Sharma. |
| Mohammad Nabi will bowl from the other end. |
| 1.1 : M Nabi to S Yadav, FOUR! Nabi is welcomed into the attack by Yadav! He starts from around the wicket and darts it outside off on a shorter length. Suryakumar stays back and crunches it square on the off side. |
| 1.2 : M Nabi to S Yadav, Tossed up delivery around middle, turning in, clipped off the pads through square leg for a single. |

| 2.1 : S Sharma to E Lewis, FOUR! What a sound that made off the bat! Back of a length delivery, angling away, Lewis hops back and cracks it through cover for a boundary. |
| 2.2 : S Sharma to E Lewis, Swing! Fuller delivery, swinging away a shade, Evin presses forward in defense but the away movement nearly takes the outside edge. |
| 2.3 : S Sharma to E Lewis, Drops it on a length, seaming away off the pitch, Lewis goes back to defend but misses as the ball goes off the back pad and on the bounce to the first slip fielder. |
| 2.4 : S Sharma to E Lewis, Good length delivery outside off, presses ahead and pats it to point. |
| 2.5 : S Sharma to E Lewis, OUT! Leading edge and Lewis is out of here! Fuller delivery around leg, Evin looks to flick it away over mid-wicket but is done in by the swing. Gets a leading edge which goes towards backward point where Manish Pandey accepts a simple catch. Good start for Hyderabad. |
| Ishan Kishan is the new man in. |
| 2.6 : S Sharma to I Kishan, Gets forward to a fuller delivery and defends it solidly. 4 runs and a wicket off it. |
| 3.1 : M Nabi to S Yadav, Short and outside off, punched off the back foot towards mid off. |
| 3.2 : M Nabi to S Yadav, Flatter and skidding off the pitch, it's whipped away towards mid on. |

| 3.6 : M Nabi to I Kishan, OUT! In the air... gone! Second wicket down for Mumbai and Mohammad Nabi removes Kishan for a duck. Tossed up delivery outside off, turning away a bit, Ishan dances down the track in a bid to clear the infield but all he does is he manages to slice it up in the air towards long off. Deepak Hooda, the substitute fielder takes an easy catch. So far so good for Hyderabad. Can they pick one more inside the first six overs? |
| Rohit Sharma is in next. |
| 4.1 : S Sharma to S Yadav, Good length delivery on middle, tucked away through mid-wicket for a single. |
| 4.2 : S Sharma to R Sharma, Length delivery, slanting away, nicely guided towards the point fielder. |
| 4.3 : S Sharma to R Sharma, Fuller delivery outside off, driven on the up but straight to mid off. There is a bit of a fumble there but they don't run. |
| 4.4 : S Sharma to R Sharma, Fuller delivery on middle and off, Sharma defends it with a straight bat back to the bowler. |
| 4.5 : S Sharma to R Sharma, Back of a length delivery outside off, Rohit punches it past the diving Shakib Al Hasan at cover. Didn't time it as he would have liked but enough to get him two runs. He's off the mark. |
| 4.6 : S Sharma to R Sharma, Fuller and curling back in a bit, Rohit eases it back to Sandeep. Hyderabad have done really well to not let Mumbai off the hook. Can they finish well in the Powerplay? |
| Shakib Al Hasan will bowl the final over of the Powerplay. |
| 5.1 : Al Hasan to S Yadav, Fuller in length on middle and leg, Suryakumar hits it towards mid on for a quick single. |
| 5.2 : Al Hasan to R Sharma, OUT! Edged and taken! Rohit Sharma is gone! That's a big wicket and Hyderabad are on a roll here. Shakib is all smiles. Impressive bowling change from Williamson, this. A tossed up ball, served outside off, Rohit's eyes light up as he looks to go inside out over extra covers. But the ball turns away, takes the outside edge and flies quickly to Dhawan at first slip who takes a good reflex catch. A few concerned faces in the stands as the hosts lose their third wicket. |
| Krunal Pandya is the next man in. |
| 5.3 : Al Hasan to K Pandya, Krunal gets underway with a flick through mid-wicket. |
| 5.4 : Al Hasan to S Yadav, Stays back to a quicker delivery and defends it back. |
| 5.5 : Al Hasan to S Yadav, An arm ball, sliding in from outside off, Surya presses ahead and carefully defends it down with his bat and pad close together. |
| 5.6 : Al Hasan to S Yadav, This one turns back in sharply, Surya keeps it out safely. Terrific over from Shakib, 2 runs and a wicket off it. Mumbai are 22/3 for the end of the Powerplay, lowest this season. This is an ideal start for Williamson's men, they are fighting back really well. |
| Siddarth Kaul is brought into the attack. |
| 6.1 : S Kaul to K Pandya, Back of a length delivery to begin with, it's steered down to third man for a single. |
| 6.2 : S Kaul to S Yadav, This one nips back in a bit, tucked through mid-wicket for a single. |

| 6.6 : S Kaul to K Pandya, Keeps it fuller, in the channel outside off, Pandya goes for the drive but fails to get any wood on it. |
| Mohammad Nabi is back. |
| 7.1 : M Nabi to S Yadav, Quicker fuller delivery around middle and leg, flicked towards Williamson at short mid-wicket. Krunal takes off from the other end but does well to stop, turn back and get in with a dive. |
| 7.2 : M Nabi to S Yadav, Flat and short outside off, punched to deep point for one. |
| 7.3 : M Nabi to K Pandya, Takes a stride forward does Krunal and nudges it in front of square leg for a single. |
| 7.4 : M Nabi to S Yadav, FOUR! Deft! Nabi does a blunder. He comes from around the wicket and angles it at a quicker pace outside off. Yadav waits for the ball to come and then at the last moment, he opens the face of the bat and helps it neatly to beat the man at short third man. A boundary results! |
| 7.5 : M Nabi to S Yadav, FOUR! More runs! This is a good shot from Yadav. The crowd finds its voice back as they get to see two boundaries in two balls. Nabi switches the angle and comes from over the wicket, stills drops it short. Surya rocks back and flays it through cover. Rashid is a bit squarer in the deep and he had no chance to cut that off. |
| 7.6 : M Nabi to S Yadav, Once again from around the wicket, fired at 90.5 kph, whipped uppishly in the gap between long on and mid-wicket for a comfortable couple. 12 off the over, a good one for Mumbai. |
| 8.1 : S Kaul to K Pandya, FOUR! What a shot! He has absolutely nailed it! An overpitched delivery, Krunal takes a little stride ahead, bends his back knee and unfurls a rollicking cover-drive. No stopping that. |
| 8.2 : S Kaul to K Pandya, Good comeback from Kaul! Drags his length back a touch, lands it outside off. KP looks to push it away but the ball moves away and beats the outside edge of his bat. |
| 8.3 : S Kaul to K Pandya, Walks across the stump and deals with this length delivery with a punch off the back foot. It rolls towards mid on. |
| 8.4 : S Kaul to K Pandya, What a delivery! Nasty stuff from Kaul. He digs in a sharp short ball, directing towards the batter. Krunal at the last moment takes evasive action as it comes at him quickly. He sways away from the line while doing so he loses his balance and is down on the ground. |
| 8.5 : S Kaul to K Pandya, FOUR! This is turning out to be a contest between Krunal and Kaul. Good length delivery on middle, Krunal looks to pull but gets it off the inner half. Still has enough behind it to beat the dive of the man at mid on. |
| 8.6 : S Kaul to K Pandya, FOUR! Best of the lot! Siddarth tries the yorker but it goes wrong. A juicy low full toss on middle and Krunal says thank you very much. He brings his bat down and hits it straight back down the ground to bisect mid on and mid off. Third boundary in the over and Mumbai seem to be back on track. 69 needed off 66 balls. |
| Time for a strategic break. |
| Rashid Khan, who is having a tough time for the past two games, comes on to bowl. Can the Afghani redeem himself tonight? |
| 9.1 : R Khan to S Yadav, Starts off with a quicker googly, a bit too full, pushed to the left of the bowler. |
| 9.2 : R Khan to S Yadav, Nearly a wicket! Quicker googly, this one skids in, Suryakumar looks to put his bat down but gets an inside edge towards short fine leg. That wasn't far from kissing the leg pole. |
| 9.3 : R Khan to S Yadav, Beaten! Flatter delivery outside off, Yadav goes back to cut but fails to get any wood on it. |
| 9.4 : R Khan to S Yadav, Fuller and around off, kept out off the front foot, solidly. |
| 9.5 : R Khan to S Yadav, Dropped short on middle, pulled to deep mid-wicket for just a single. |

| Shakib Al Hasan is back into the attack. |
| 10.1 : Al Hasan to K Pandya, Comes from around the wicket and darts it in around the pads, nudged with soft hands through mid-wicket for one. |
| 10.2 : Al Hasan to S Yadav, Quicker through the air, angling in on middle and leg, Yadav rocks back to play the big pick up shot but is done in by the pace. Wears it on the pads as the ball rolls towards the off side. A muted appeal for an LBW by Saha which is paid no heed. |
| 10.3 : Al Hasan to S Yadav, Whips this fuller delivery towards deep mid-wicket and takes one. |
| 10.4 : Al Hasan to K Pandya, Good bowling! Sees Krunal giving the charge, he drops short and angles it away. Pandya just about manages to push it away on the off side. |
| 10.5 : Al Hasan to K Pandya, Goes deep in the crease and knocks it back to the bowler. |
| 10.6 : Al Hasan to K Pandya, Eases a full ball, fired at 91.2 kph to long on for a single. The stand between these two is worth 34 from 34 balls. |
| 11.1 : R Khan to K Pandya, Dipping full toss on middle, flicked to deep mid-wicket for a single. |
| 11.2 : R Khan to S Yadav, Was that a chance? Oh yes, it was! Tossed up googly on off, Yadav leans forward and bunts it back towards Rashid who gets low in his followthrough but the ball brushes his fingers and goes down to long off for a single. |
| 11.3 : R Khan to K Pandya, FOUR! Shot! Short and outside off, Krunal stays back and cuts it square on the off side for a boundary. |
| 11.4 : R Khan to K Pandya, Comes a bit forward and eases it away on the off side. |
| Huge shout for an LBW but the umpire shakes his head. Rashid is confident that he has Krunal trapped in front and Hyderabad take the review. |
| 11.5 : R Khan to K Pandya,OUT! LBW! The on-field call has to be overturned! Rashid Khan breaks the stand. It was the leg break, pitches around middle and Krunal goes back to play for the turn. This one, however, skids off and pings him on the back pad. A huge appeal follows but the umpire turns it down. Rashid is really confident as he convinces his skipper to take the review. Replays roll in. There is no inside edge and Ball Tracker shows that it's pitched in line and would have hit the stumps. |
| Kieron Pollard is in next. |
| 11.6 : R Khan to K Pollard, In the air... what a stop from Pandey. Pollard smacks his first delivery down to long on where Manish dives to his right and makes a one-handed stop. |
| 12.1 : Al Hasan to K Pollard, Slides it in on middle, Pollard pushes it back. |
| 12.2 : Al Hasan to K Pollard, SIX! In the slot and then those arms take over! A biggie from Pollard. Quicker delivery, darted in on middle, Kieron leans ahead and just extends his arms. Has enough power behind the shot to send it sailing over the long on fence for a maximum. |
| 12.3 : Al Hasan to K Pollard, Quicker ball again, sliding back in, KP is a bit late to bring his bat down. Gets an inside edge down to fine leg for a single. |
| 12.4 : Al Hasan to S Yadav, Fuller on middle and leg, Suryakumar lunges across and wrists it in the gap at mid-wicket. He's playing sensibly here. |
| There is some issue with the ball. Hyderabad players take it to the umpire and they are getting it changed. |
| 12.5 : Al Hasan to K Pollard, Flattish in nature, Pollard gets deep inside the crease and tucks it behind square on the leg side for one. |
| 12.6 : Al Hasan to S Yadav, Shot! Yadav has got strong bottom hand! Whips this quicker ball in the gap between long on and mid-wicket. Nabi from the former position, runs to his right and stops it with a dive. Two taken. 46 needed from 42 balls. |
| 13.1 : R Khan to K Pollard, OUT! Catching practice there for Shikhar Dhawan. You receive these before the matches in practice. Rashid bowls the leg spinner outside off. Pollard picks it and guides it towards first slip. It goes quickly to him and Dhawan there takes another sharp catch moving to his right. Pollard's rough patch continues. Mumbai have half the side back in the hut. 46 more needed. This is turning out to be another close one. |
| 0.0 : Hardik Pandya walks out to the middle. |
| 13.2 : R Khan to H Pandya, Flatter outside off, Pandya makes a leave. |
| 13.3 : R Khan to H Pandya, Shorter in length on off, Pandya punches it through covers for a run. |
| 13.4 : R Khan to S Yadav, The googly on off, Yadav drives it down to long on for a run. |
| 13.5 : R Khan to H Pandya, Tosses it up on off, Pandya strokes it back towards the bowler. |
| 13.6 : R Khan to H Pandya, Almost played it on there! Brilliant from Rashid Khan. Another googly, this was slightly on the shorter side outside off. Pandya does not pick it and tries to cut it at first but then seeing the ball turn back in, he tries to keep it out. In the end chops it on the bounce to the keeper. |
| Strategic break signaled! |
| Basil Thampi into the attack now. Mumbai would look to attack him. |
| 14.1 : B Thampi to S Yadav, Fuller ball to begin with, angling in on middle and leg, knocked down to long on for a single. |
| 14.2 : B Thampi to H Pandya, Good length delivery on middle, tucked towards Dhawan at mid-wicket. |
| 14.3 : B Thampi to H Pandya, Back of a length delivery on middle, Hardik is happy to block it out on the pitch. |
| 14.4 : B Thampi to H Pandya, Chance of a run out! Missed opportunity! Back of a length delivery, Pandya taps it in front of cover and sets off. Shakib comes charging in but takes his eyes off the ball which allows the batsmen to cross. |
| 14.5 : B Thampi to S Yadav, OUT! Another one bites the dust! Straight down the throat of Rashid Khan. Suryakumar Yadav, the set batsman departs. Kane Williamson is the happy man. What a turnaround from his boys. This game is right at the edge of the knife. Back of a length delivery, angling in on the hips, Yadav walks across and tries to drop kick it. He does so but finds Rashid Khan to perfection at deep square leg who didn't even move an inch. 42 needed from 31 balls. |
| Mitchell McClenaghan is the new man in. |
| 14.6 : B Thampi to M McClenaghan, Fuller delivery from around the wicket, Mitchell shoulders his arms. |
| Siddarth Kaul is back into the attack. |
| 15.1 : S Kaul to H Pandya, Back of a length delivery outside off, dabbed fine down to third man for a single. |
| 0.0 : Is that the another wicket for Hyderabad? Mitchell McClenaghan is the man in question. He takes the review and only an inside edge can save him... |
| 15.2 : S Kaul to M McClenaghan, OUT! No inside edge! That's dead plumb! Good length delivery, nipping back a bit, Mitchell looks to work it away on the leg side but seems to have missed it completely. The ball goes off the pads towards point and McClenaghan is out of the crease. There is also a run out chance as the fielder throws it at the striker's end but he misses. Kaul is busy appealing for an LBW and it's upheld by the umpire. Mitchell has a word with Pandya and then opts to take the DRS. R |
| Mayank Markande is the new man in. |
| 15.3 : S Kaul to M Markande, Pacy length delivery outside off, Mayank runs it down to third man to get off strike. |
| 15.4 : S Kaul to H Pandya, Fuller ball on off, driven to mid off for nothing. |
| 15.5 : S Kaul to H Pandya, Leg bye! Looks to tuck one on the leg side but it goes off the pads towards square leg. They still cross. |
| 15.6 : S Kaul to M Markande, OUT! Beaten for pace! Lovely pace bowling, this! Siddarth Kaul has silence the crowd and this is now Hyderabad's game to lose. They have made a match out of this one. Full and straight on the stumps, at 138.1 kph, Markande looks to flick it across the line but misses to get rapped on the pads. The umpire has no harm in raising his finger. Mayank was a dead duck. 39 needed from 24 balls. |
| Jasprit Bumrah is the next man in. Also, Rashid Khan to bowl out now. |
| 16.1 : R Khan to H Pandya, Drilled down to long off by Pandya but he doesn't run. |

| 16.6 : R Khan to H Pandya, A maiden from Rashid! Would you believe it? What a bowler! He has redeemed himself tonight in an emphatic manner. Quicker delivery, skidding in, Hardik pats it down. 39 to win from 18 balls. 4-1-11-2 finishes Rashid, wow! |
| 17.1 : S Kaul to J Bumrah, In the air... ohhhh, missed! On a back of a length outside off, Bumrah looks to dab it away but it bounces a bit more. Takes the top half of the bat and flies towards widish slip where Dhawan dives full length to his right with a dive but the ball goes off his fingertips. Great effort. A single taken. |
| 17.2 : S Kaul to H Pandya, Swing and a miss! On a back of a length outside off, Hardik looks to pull but misses. |
| 17.3 : S Kaul to H Pandya, Another miss! Kaul drops it on a shorter length outside off, he is hitting the deck hard. Hardik gives it his all but doesn't connect. |
| 17.4 : S Kaul to H Pandya, OUT! That's the game for Hyderabad! Digs in another short delivery outside off. Hardik swings again across the line but there is some extra bounce which takes the top edge. The ball lobs high in the air and Basil Thampi at third man comes a couple of steps ahead and takes it easily. The heads go down in the stands as the man who could have got them closer to the target is walking back. |
| Mustafizur Rahman is the last man in. |
| 17.5 : S Kaul to J Bumrah, FOUR! A boundary out of nowhere! Back of a length delivery, angling in, Bumrah swings across the line but drags it off the inside edge through backward square leg for a boundary. |

| 18.4 : B Thampi to J Bumrah, Backs away and flat bats it down to long on for a single. |
| 18.5 : B Thampi to M Rahman, OUT! It's all over from Mumbai! Short of a length delivery, angling in on middle, Rahman looks to play the pull shot but gets a top edge. Deepak Hooda, the substitute gets underneath at mid-wicket and takes it comfortably. Celebrations all around in the Hyderabad camp as they have managed to defend the second lowest ever total in the history of the tournament. |
| Just sit back and laud this bowling effort displayed by Hyderabad. Champion stuff from Williamson's men and they have beaten Mumbai for the second time this season. After how the first innings panned out, it needed a miraculous effort on the part of Hyderabad's bowlers to get the job done. They started off on a brilliant note as they nipped out three wickets inside the first six overs and handed Mumbai an unwanted record - lowest Powerplay score this season. |
| Once that was done, Suryakumar Yadav was going along well and got support from Krunal Pandya. Both were cruising but it was Rashid Khan, who made good use of the review and removed the latter. Post that, the visitors just speared in and kept chipping away at the wickets to not let Mumbai come back in the game. All their bowlers shared the spoils but it was Siddarth Kaul who stole the show with a 3-fer to his name. Also, they did it without their strike bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which demands th |
| Man of the Match has been handed to Rashid Khan. Remember, he was taken to the cleaners in the previous two games but boy, he has redeemed himself tonight. His figures of 4-1-11-2 is something you wouldn't see every night. Well done, Rashid! |
| Phew! What has hit Rohit Sharma and his men? They are finding new ways to lose this season. Today they had it on the plate but still failed to cross the finish line. On the other hand, Hyderabad will be really boosted with this win. Their batters couldn't come to the party but their bowlers put their hands up and got the job done with a clinical show to end their two-match losing streak. That's all from this game. Tomorrow we have Bangalore taking on Chennai in their own den. The action starts a |
