The Mumbai Indians are trying to win their final few games of the season; thus, Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl first. Both teams made a change as Mayank Agarwal rejoined the squad and Anshul Kambhoj made his IPL debut.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, with 12 points from 10 games, started the day ranked fourth in the IPL standings. They would take over the third slot, currently occupied by the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings, if they win on Monday.
50 runs in 4.5 overs for Sunrisers Hyderabad
In their typical fashion, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head opened the game with sharp strokes. Travis Head appeared to have bowled two no-balls to Anshul Kamboj, who made his SRH debut against MI on Monday. Both balls were smashed for fours to raise the score to fifty.

150 runs from 18.2 overs for Sunrisers Hyderabad
In the 19th over, Pat Cummins and Sanvir Singh, who emerged as the impact player, helped SRH surpass 150. Unlike their previous match, the IPL 2016 victors faced a resolute Mumbai Indians bowling squad that wasn’t giving up easy runs.
20 overs and 173/8 at the end of the Sunrisers Hyderabad innings
Sunrisers Hyderabad would have been dissatisfied with the performance for a side that has made scoring 200 or more runs a norm. With the exception of Travis Head, no hitter was able to mount a serious challenge against the Mumbai Indians’ creative bowling unit.
