Sunrisers Hyderabad: 50 runs off 4.5 overs

Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head came out in their usual style and played crisp shots to get the game going. Anshul Kamboj who debuted for SRH against MI on Monday seemed to have got Travis Head bowled two no-balls instead and both were hit for fours to bring the 50 up.

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Second Strategic time-out (120/5 from 15 overs)

Sunrisers Hyderabad: 150 runs from 18.2 overs

Pat Cummins and Sanvir Singh who came out as the impact player took SRH past 150 in the 19^th over. The IPL 2016 winners had come up against a determined Mumbai Indians bowling unit who weren’t giving away easy runs, unlike their last encounter. 

End of the innings: Sunrisers Hyderabad -173/8 from 20 overs

For a team that has made scoring 200-plus scores a regular habit, Sunrisers Hyderabad would have been disappointed with the performance. Apart from Travis Head none of the batters could put up a fight against an inspired-looking Mumbai Indians bowling unit.
