IPL 2018, MI vs SRH: 5 reasons why Mumbai Indians lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad 

#2 Exceptional captaincy from Williamson

Williamson's plans were executed to perfection

Sunrisers desperately needed a boost to pull off a win in such a low scoring encounter after a dismal batting performance in the first innings.

It was an all-round bowling effort that was ably supported by some exceptional field placements from the skipper.

Being an experienced campaigner, Williamson had an idea of pressure that teams can succumb to after some early breakthroughs.

To put the opposition in a spot of bother, he introduced a slip for Sharma and Kieron Pollard against the spinners which eventually paid off with high dividends as both the batsmen were caught at slip.

Such low-scoring encounters always get the best out of someone like Williamson which involves more of a mental game rather than the implementation of skills.
