Commentary
- Right then! Mumbai have won this game comprehensively against Hyderabad. They were good in all three aspects of play - bat, ball and field. Hyderabad's bowling at the end and their batting was a let down as their main batsman did not stay out on the pitch for long and they will have to bounce back in their next game. We are not done for the day though as Chennai and Punjab clash in the second game of Sunday. Switch over tabs for all the action from that match.
- Earlier in the day, Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. They did not start off in the best way as they lost Rohit Sharma right in the first over. Suryakumar Yadav was looking in fine touch but he, too, gave his wicket away cheaply. Quinton de Kock finally seemed to find his groove as he scored a well made 67 before he fell. Ishan Kishan was looking good too before he departed. Pollard and Hardik were out on the pitch but they did not find the boundaries easily but Krunal Pandya came out and played a blitz scoring 20 runs in the last 4 balls to push Mumbai past the 200-run mark.
- The batters of Hyderabad looked good starting off. Bairstow was looking dangerous before he fell. Pandey, too was looking in good touch but played a silly shot and gave his wicket away cheaply. Kane Williamson too followed shortly after looking to be cheeky. David Warner was their last hope standing, but he too departed before the second drinks break and then Mumbai breezed through the remaining overs and won the game comfortably by 34 runs.
- Mumbai have wrapped up a very well rounded victory over Hyderabad and they now have won two games on the trot. Their bowling today has been very good as they have done well to not let Hyderabad past the 200-run mark at Sharjah, which is not an easy feat. Boult, Pattinson and Bumrah all scalped double wickets. Mumbai will be happy with this bowling performance as Sharjah is not a bowling-friendly pitch.
