Hyderabad vs Mumbai Match Stats

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! How often have we seen that a break in play brings about a wicket? Instant impact for Pat Cummins on his return to the attack. Starts from over the wicket and bowls it on the back of a length, slower and outside off, Tilak Varma is made to reach out and he opts to hack it across the line instead of going through the off side. The ball comes off the upper half of the bat and it goes straight down the throat of Mayank Agarwal at long on who makes no mistake.

 Oh, what an outstanding athleticism from Mayank Agarwal. A superhuman effort there in the deep. On the back of a length around off, Hardik Pandya slices the pull shot trying to clear the long on fence. Mayanka Agarwal patrolling the long on fence jumps in the air in time and throws the ball back in play before he goes beyond the fence. The third umpire confirms that he has flicked the ball into the field while being in the air. What a top effort. Agarwal gets attended to by the physio and he is fine to continue.
