Krunal Pandya hit an unbeaten 20 off 4 balls and along with some fireworks from Kieron Pollard took Mumbai Indians to 208/5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. After opting to bat, MI lost captain Rohit Sharma early. Suryakumar Yadav entertained with 27 off 18 balls but it was the 78-run partnership between Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan that brought MI back. De Kock recorded his maiden half-century of the season and top-scored with 65 off 39 balls before SRH dismissed him and Kishan in quick succession, the latter dismissed by a beauty of a catch from Manish Pandey in the deep.
However, late fireworks from Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya and Krunal ensured that MI crossed the 200-run mark. Mumbai Indians would look to continue the momentum as the four time champions come back after two victories. Earlier, MI won the toss and elected to bat first. The defending champions went with an unchanged squad. The Sunrisers made two changes as Bhuvneshwar Kumar missed out and replacing him was Sandeep Sharma. Siddharth Kaul also turned out for the Hyderabad franchise for the first time this season.
