Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) scored 200-5 after being asked to bat first by Mumbai Indians (MI). MI skipper Rohit Sharma pulled back things in the last 5 overs as the hosts conceded only 43 runs. Rohit Sharma‘s decision to give 2 overs to Akash Madhwal in the death overs proved to be decisive. Akash Madhwal took 4 wickets and gave away 37 runs in his 4-over spell.

SRH tried yet another new opening combination in the form of Vivrant Sharma & Mayank Agrawal which did wonders for the team. The duo dictated the terms and were involved in a massive opening partnership of 140 runs in 13.5 overs.

Surprisingly, Rohit Sharma didn’t give another over to the flamboyant pacer Cameron Green who had conceded only 2 runs in his first over. The likes of Glenn Phillips & Harry Brook couldn’t trouble the scorers which didn’t help the team.
