Taking about the only match of the day, Hyderabad came up with a brilliant bowling performance to successfully defend 118 against Mumbai.
Siddarth Kaul (3/23) and Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan (2/11) were the architects of the SRH win as the Williamson-led team bowled out the hosts for 87 in 18.5 overs, the lowest total this season. Mumbai’s 22/3 was also the lowest Powerplay score this season.
Suryakumar Yadav (34) and Krunal Pandya (24) were the only Mumbai batsmen who could stand up to Hyderabad’s brilliant bowlers.
Earlier in the match after being put into bat, SRH were themselves bowled out for 118 in 18.4 overs. Mitchell McClenaghan (2/22) triggered the collapse with two wickets in the second over of the SRH innings.
Williamson (29 off 21 balls) and Yusuf Pathan (29 off 33 balls) were SRH’s top contributors.
