IPL 2024: SRH give away most extras inside powerplay in crushing loss to Mumbai Indians

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) created an unwanted Indian Premier League (IPL) record during the match against Mumbai Indians (MI) on May 6. SRH gave away 19 extra runs inside the powerplay during their bowling - the most for any team in the league. The previous highest extra runs inside the powerplay were 16 which were given by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2023.

Defending a modest 174 at Wankhede, SRH bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave away 13 runs in the first over including four extras. South African Marco Jansen came on to bowl the next over, giving away 14 runs which included 10 extras. Jansen, however, sent back Ishan Kishan as well.

Kumar then bowled the next over and gave just four byes in extras but the over was counted as a maiden for the bowler as per the rules. Skipper Pat Cummins then came on to bowl the 14th over, bowling second consecutive maiden of the innings and getting Rohit Sharma's wicket as well.

Kumar then bowled his third over on trot, conceded five runs including an extra and took the wicket of Naman Dhir to leave MI's chase derailed at 36/3. Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav then smashed Cummins for 16 runs in the last over of the powerplay as MI closed the first six overs at 52/3.

SRH couldn't get another breakthrough in the match afterwards as Surya and Tilak added 143 unbeaten runs for the fourth wicket for MI's fourth win in 12 games this season. Surya finished not out 102 off 51 balls while Tilak scored unbeaten 37 off 32 balls as MI chased the target in the 18th over with seven wickets in hand.

Earlier, MI bowlers did a great job of restricting SRH at a modest total after asking them to bat first. For Mumbai, skipper Hardik Pandya and spinner Piyush Chawla took three wickets each while Travis Head top scored for SRH with 48 off 30 ball.

Had it not been for Cummins' 17-ball 35, SRH would have bowled out for lower than they scored after being 136/8 in 17 overs. This was SRH's fifth loss in 11 games as they stand fourth on the points table with three more league matches to play.
