In the 17th match of IPL season 13 played in Sharjah, Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 34 runs. With this victory, Mumbai has reached number one in the point table. Mumbai Indians batsmen, taking full advantage of Sharjah's small ground and arbitrary pitch made a big score of 208 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad for five wickets in 20 overs and then stopped Hyderabad for 174 for seven in 20 overs. Won by 34 runs.
This is Mumbai's third win in five matches with six points. Hyderabad suffered their third defeat in five matches and is now sixth in the points table. After the defeat against Mumbai, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner has told how the team lagged behind Mumbai. Mumbai's innings took 14 sixes while Hyderabad's innings took only seven sixes. Sunrisers captain David Warner said his team failed to read the circumstances properly. Warner, who scored 60 off 44 balls in the match, said that his figures tell the story. Both of them (Bolt and Jaspreet Bumrah) are the best bowlers of the last over. We could not put a boundary against them. Sharjah's wicket is slow in the day and we thought of making ten runs per over but we could not make partnerships.
Warner said that I think we did not assess the circumstances correctly. During the day the pitch was slow but when the ball was old it was more difficult to take shots. Warner said that he missed the injury of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He said that two new bowlers came into the team due to injury of Bhuvneshwar. We can work on these things during practice. We failed to put the yorker properly and threw seven-eight fulltos.
