Mumbai Indians claim a comfortable victory as they defend their total of 208 runs, winning by 34 runs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at Sharjah.
Opener and captain David Warner was the only one that got going for the SRH scoring 60 runs in 44 balls before his wicket was claimed by fellow Australian James Pattinson. Jonny Bairstow and Manish Pandey played decent cameos at the start of the innings but could not convert their starts into big scores for their team.
The fantastic pace-trio for MI consisting of James Pattinson, Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah all picked up 2 wickets each followed by a wicket picked up by spinner Krunal Pandya to restrict SRH to just 174 runs at the high scoring ground of Sharjah, successfully defending the total set by their batsmen.
This was MI’s third victory out of the 5 games they have played so far and the defending champions now sit at the top of the table in this season’s Dream11 IPL.
