Right then Hyderabad lead the table, but the result of the next match which is on between Gujarat Lions and Kolkata Knight Riders will change the table again. Hop on to our coverage.
"I was trying my best. Everybody knows that we have a good bowling attack. The wicket was on the slower side and it was important to pick wickets early. In that bargain, we were prepared to go for runs," says Nehra.
"Fantastic knock by Dhawan and good knock by Yuvraj. With the good start, 180-190 looked on the cards. Shikhar didn't start the tournament well. We (he and Dhawan) have executed our skills together well at the top. Exceptional job by the old fellow Nehra and good bowling by Bhuvneshwar again," says Warner, the SRH captain.
Rohit Sharma: "They bowled really well and got early wickets. I thought we did not execute our plans with the bat, there was not much in the wicket, we did not apply ourselves properly. We have to forget about this game. WIth the ball, we did pretty alright in the middle overs, but then at the end we gave away too many runs. It was one of those days, nothing went well with both bat and ball, only positive is our fielding."
Well Mumbai Indians never arrived to chase the total down. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar got Parthiv Patel and then Ashish Nehra took 3 wickets to stall the chase, and then Mumbai never got going. Frequent wickets, stagnated the chase, and then Mustafizur picked 3 wickets to put the shoe firmly on the neck of Mumbai Indians. Massive win for the Sunrisers, who have climbed to number 1 in the points table.
For Mumbai, the extended break has not done them any favours and they need to get their act together, and the race for the final four has become a mad scramble now. The game meandered along towards the end, and Sunrisers romped home with a decisive victory. A day to forget for Mumbai, bowled out in 16.2 overs and for them it is back to the drawing board.
15.6 Bhuvneshwar to Harbhajan, FOUR! Low full toss, he hits it to deep mid wicket for a boundary. Shikhar Dhawan dives full length on the fence, tries to stop the ball, gets a hand to it, but couldn't stop it from going to the fence.
