Mumbai, April 13 (CRICKETNMORE): Mumbai Indians dominated with both bat and ball to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by four wickets in an Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at the Wankhede Stadium here on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Choosing to field on winning the toss, Mumbai restricted SRH to 158\/8 in 20 overs and then achieved the target in 18.4 overs losing six wickets along the way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nitish Rana played a crucial role for Mumbai with a 36-ball 45 which included three boundaries and two sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He produced a 48-run partnership along with Krunal Pandya which came off 21 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pandya scored 37 runs off 20 deliveries which included three boundaries and an equal number of sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the most successful among the SRH bowlers with figures of 3\/21 Ashish Nehra, Deepak Hooda and Rashid Khan got a wicket each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Parthiv Patel and Jos Buttler gave Mumbai a good start with a 28-run opening partnership in three overs, Ashish Nehra struck the first blow for the visitors when he bowled Buttler with the first ball of the fourth over. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Buttler had come down the track to a slower ball from Nehra but was outfoxed by the change of pace. The English batsman had scored 14 off 111 deliveries with three hits to the fence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohit Sharma could score only four runs from as many balls before Rashid Khan trapped him leg before in the next over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Patel was the next to go, caught by Bhuvneshwar while attempting to hit Hooda down the ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Patel, who seemed to be in excellent touch, scored 39 runs from 24 deliveries which included seven boundaries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
West Indies powerhouse Kieron Pollard did not last long, producing a run-a-ball 11 before pulling a shortish Bhuvneshwar delivery into the hands of Shikhar Dhawan at square leg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Pandya joined Rana in the middle and the duo ensured victory with some steady batting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Although Bhuvneshwar dismissed both in the 18th over, it was enough to secure victory for SRH.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, SRH squandered a great start before falling apart to post 158\/8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
From a comfortable 105\/1 after the 13th over, the visitors lost seven wickets within a span of 53 runs to completely lose the track in the slog overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Put in to bat, Sunrisers were off to a steady start with skipper David Warner (49) and Shikhar Dhawan (48) putting on 81 runs before the Australian fell one short of his half century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mumbai started well with the experienced Harbhajan Singh and Sri Lankan Lasith Malinga giving away just five runs from the first couple of overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Warner broke the shackles in the third over with two consecutive boundaries off Harbhajan before milking Malinga for another two after the Sri Lankan changed ends.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dhawan, who by now had faced 16 balls for his seven runs, opened up with two fours and a six off Australian pacer Mitchell McClenagan as Hyderabad crossed the 50-run mark in the eighth over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Coming back for his second spell, Harbhajan's first ball was powerfully muscled over the third man boundary by a right-handed Warner for a mammoth six before the 36-year-old tweaker came back strongly the very next ball to dismiss the Aussie.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Warner, who had faced 34 balls and struck seven boundaries and two sixes by then, got a top-edge while attempting another reverse-sweep as wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel dived full length to complete a stunning catch at short point.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Two overs later, Harbhajan returned to bowl his final over and struck first ball with the wicket of Hooda (9), caught by Pollard at long-on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the very next over, McClenaghan provided the vital breakthrough in the form of a set Dhawan, crashing his leg-stump with a full toss after the southpaw faced 43 balls and sent the ball five times to the fence and once over it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Next in, Yuvraj Singh (5) failed to recreate the magic he produced in the opening match of this IPL against the Royal Challengers Bangalore when he played on a short of length delivery from Hardik Pandya.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Aussie all-rounder Ben Cutting (20) struck four boundaries during his brief stay which was ended by a full and dead yorker from medium pacer Jasprit Bumrah before slinger Malinga picked Vijay Shankar (1) to reduce the visitors to 147\/6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The final over saw Bumrah getting another couple of wickets -- Naman Ojha (9) and Rashid Khan (2) -- as Hyderabad failed to seize the momentum in the death overs.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2017\/04\/mum.jpg", "alt_img": "IPL 2017", "alt_title": "Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Mumbai beat Hyderabad in IPL tie", "seo_desc": "Mumbai beat Hyderabad in IPL tieMumbai, April 13 (CRICKETNMORE): Mumbai Indians dominated with both bat and ball to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by four wic", "seo_keywords": "IPL 2017, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad", "tag": "", "tagging": "", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "0", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "mumbai-beat-hyderabad-in-ipl-tie", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "2838", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "0", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2017-04-13 00:11:00", "updated": "2017-04-13 00:11:00", "img_from": "", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": null, "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2017-04-13 00:11:00", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2017-04-13 00:11:00", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/mumbai-beat-hyderabad-in-ipl-tie-25668" }
