Jasprit Bumrah, Will Jacks keep SRH batters in check
Earlier, exceptional bowling performances from Will Jacks and Jasprit Bumrah helped MI restrict SRH for just 162/5. Despite establishing a solid 59-run partnership for the opening wicket, SRH's scoring rate remained uncharacteristically subdued compared to their usual explosive standards. Notably, both Travis Head, who scored 28 runs, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, who contributed 19, found it challenging to maintain a strike rate exceeding 100 during their innings.
SRH's opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head began cautiously, accumulating only 29 runs in the initial four overs. However, in the fifth over, Abhishek injected some momentum into the innings by hitting Deepak Chahar for three consecutive boundaries. At the conclusion of the powerplay, after six overs, SRH stood at 46 without any loss, with Abhishek unbeaten on 36 and Head on 14. Head's strike rate at this stage remained below 100. A boundary courtesy of a two-bounce shot from Travis Head eventually propelled SRH to the 50-run mark in 6.3 overs.
MI secured their first breakthrough when substitute fielder Raj Angad Bawa executed a sharp, low catch at sweeper cover, providing captain Hardik Pandya with the wicket of the well-set Abhishek Sharma. Sharma was dismissed for a score of 40 runs off 28 deliveries, which included seven boundaries. SRH's score stood at 59 runs for the loss of one wicket in 7.3 overs. Next to depart was Ishan Kishan, who was facing his former team at his familiar home ground but continued to struggle with his batting form. His brief innings came to an end after scoring just 2 runs, as he was stumped by Ryan Rickelton off the bowling of Will Jacks. With Kishan's dismissal, SRH's score progressed to 68 runs for the loss of two wickets in 8.4 overs.
At the midway point of the innings, after ten overs had been bowled, SRH had scored 75 runs, having lost two wickets. The batsmen at the crease were Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was unbeaten on 3 runs, and Travis Head, who was not out on 25.
Travis Head's attempt to play a straight shot resulted in his dismissal for 28 runs, which came off 29 deliveries. Mitchell Santner took a smart catch to account for Head's wicket. This marked Will Jacks' second scalp of the innings, and SRH's innings faltered further, slipping to 82 runs for the loss of three wickets in 11.1 overs.
Despite the presence of power-hitters Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy at the crease, the Sunrisers Hyderabad's run rate continued to be sluggish. A boundary struck by Klaasen eventually brought up the 100-run mark for SRH in 14.2 overs. After 15 overs of play, SRH's score stood at 105 runs for the loss of three wickets, with Klaasen unbeaten on 10 and Nitish not out on 17. The duo found it challenging to score freely against the disciplined pace bowling attack of Mumbai Indians, comprising Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Trent Boult.
A well-judged catch by Tilak Varma positioned at long-on provided Trent Boult with his first wicket, dismissing Nitish Kumar Reddy for 19 runs off 21 deliveries. At this stage, the Sunrisers Hyderabad's score stood at 113 runs for the loss of four wickets in 16.4 overs.
In the 18th over of the innings, Heinrich Klaasen managed to inject some much-needed momentum into SRH's scoring rate, hitting Deepak Chahar for two boundaries and two towering sixes, resulting in a significant 21 runs being added to the total. However, his aggressive innings was short-lived as he was bowled by Jasprit Bumrah in the subsequent over. Klaasen departed after scoring a valuable 37 runs off 28 balls, which included three fours and two sixes. Following his dismissal, SRH's score was 136 runs for the loss of five wickets in 18.1 overs.
In the final over of the innings, Aniket Verma provided a late surge for Sunrisers Hyderabad, smashing three sixes and accumulating 22 crucial runs off the bowling of Hardik Pandya. This late flurry helped SRH reach a final total of 162 runs for the loss of five wickets at the end of their 20 overs. Aniket Verma remained unbeaten on 18 runs, while captain Pat Cummins was not out on 8 runs. For MI, Will Jacks emerged as the most successful bowler, claiming two wickets while conceding a mere 14 runs in his three overs. Bumrah delivered a typically economical spell, bowling four overs for just 21 runs and picking up one important wicket. Captain Hardik Pandya also contributed with a single wicket, although he conceded 42 runs in his four-over quota.
