Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Mumbai Indians got off to a great and confident start. At the start, Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma scored runs very quickly as Mumbai Indians scored 53 runs in the powerplay without losing any wicket. Just after the powerplay, in the 7th over Rohit Sharma was dismissed by Vijay Shankar. Suryakumar Yadav, the next man in started his innings with a stylish boundary but gave a returning catch to Vijay Shankar in the 9th over. SRH bowled with perfection in the middle overs as MI struggled scoring runs in these overs. Mumbai Indians was once at such a place that it seemed difficult to reach even the score of 140 runs, but Kieron Pollard played a superb role in the death overs to take MI past 140 runs. Pollard smashed two sixes in the final two deliveries giving MI an ideal finish. Kieron Pollard hammered unbeaten 35 runs off just 22 balls in which he hit 1 four and 3 sixes.
Vijay Shankar in his 3 overs bagged 2 important wickets of Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. Mujeeb Ur Rahman also took 2 wickets in his 4-over spell. Khaleel Ahmed also got a wicket of Hardik Pandya. Rashid Khan was unable to pick any wicket but bowled with an economy rate of 5.50.
Chasing the score of 150 runs, Jonny Bairstow and David Warner were patient in the first two overs but Jonny Bairstow soon took the charge and scored 18 runs in the 3rd over off Trent Boult. In the very next over Bairstow again fired to score 19 runs in that over off Adam Milne. SRH score read 57/0 at the end of the powerplay. Unfortunately, Jonny Bairstow self-destructed his wicket by going deep in the crease to get out hit-wicket. SRH required 84 runs in 76 balls with nine wickets still in hand which was an easy equation to solve but Mumbai Indians took advantage of this moment and put Rahul Chahar into the attack. Manish Pandey departed scoring just 2 runs and soon after David Warner also went back as he was run out in the 12th over. Rahul Chahar took two wickets in the 15th over as SRH collapsed completely. With 21 runs required off the final two overs, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult did the remaining work of sending all the players of SRH back to the pavilion. Jonny Bairstow scored 43 runs off 22 balls while David Warner scored 36 runs off 34 balls.
Rahul Chahar bowled with an economy rate of 4.80 and picked 3 wickets in the match. He was very well supported by other bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult. Trent Boult bowled brilliantly and he also bagged 3 wickets. SRH struggled to face Jasprit Bumrah as he conceded just 14 runs in his 4-over spell.
This was the 9th win of Mumbai Indians in 17 matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL.
