Toss Mumbai Indians opt to bowl v Sunrisers Hyderabad
Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Unchanged Mumbai Indians opted to bowl at the Wankhede Stadium in their quest for just their second win this season. Injuries to Billy Stanlake and Bhuvneshwar Kumar forced Sunrisers Hyderabad to ring in as many as four changes to alter the balance.
Afghanistan allrounder Mohammad Nabi, Sandeep Sharma and Basil Thampi were among those handed an opportunity. While this was Nabi’s first game this season, Sandeep is playing just his second.
Defending totals, Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai captain, felt was a challenge at this venue, while explaining his rationale to bowl first. In the last five meetings between these two teams – including one earlier this season – the chasing side has won on four occasions.
Mumbai Indians: 1 Evin Lewis, 2 Suryakumar Yadav, 3 Ishan Kishan (wk), 4 Rohit Sharma, 5 Krunal Pandya, 6 Kieron Pollard, 7 Hardik Pandya, 8 Mayank Markande 9 Mustafizur Rahman 10 Mitchell McClenaghan 11 Jasprit Bumrah
Sunrisers Hyderabad: 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Kane Williamson, 3 Manish Pandey, 4 Yusuf Pathan, 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Wriddhiman Saha, 7 Mohammad Nabi, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Sandeep Sharma 10 Siddarth Kaul 11 Basil Thampi
