Their tournament ends with a 42-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad
Mumbai Indians 235 for 9 (Kishan 84, Suryakumar 82, Holder 4-52) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 193 for 8 (Pandey 69*, Roy 34, Abhishek 33, Bumrah 2-39) by 42 runs
They gave the ball, and their chances at qualification for the play-offs, an almighty whack, but eventually, Mumbai Indians’ defence of their title ended in their final league game of IPL 2021. They had come into it needing to win by an unprecedented 171 runs, and although they eventually did win, that margin was always going to prove too much despite the power-hitting and skill of Ishan Kishan (84 off 32) and Suryakumar Yadav (82 off 40).
Two batters who had not had the greatest time in this tournament rocketed Mumbai to a mammoth 235 for 9, but that still meant they needed to keep Sunrisers Hyderabad to 65 or less. Sunrisers eventually made a decent fist of an impossible chase, ending at 193 for 8, to lose by 42 runs.
