Mumbai Indians registered their third consecutive win in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 14 runs in Hyderabad on Tuesday. Stellar batting performances from Cameron Green (unbeaten 64) and Tilak Varma (37 off 17) saw Mumbai dominate the contest while youngster Arjun Tendulkar also held his nerves in the final over to take Mumbai home in an entertaining contest.
Asked to chase, 193 SRH lost last match’s centurion Harry Brook (9) after he departed early while Rahul Tripathi (7) also did not contribute significantly. Mayank Agarwal (48) and skipper Aiden Markram (22) then steadied the ship but were dismissed by Riley Meredith and Cameron Green respectively. Abhishek Sharma (1) and Abdul Samad (9) also departed without big contributions.
Towards the end, smart captaincy from Rohit Sharma and Tim David's excellence in the field with five wicket involvements saw Mumbai gain the upper hand. Heinrich Klaasen (36) and Washington Sundar (13) tried to make an impact before they were dismissed and SRH were restricted to 178/10 in 19.5 overs. Jason Behrendorff, Riley Meredith and Piyush Chawla ended with two wickets each while Arjun Tendulkar ended the SRH innings with his first wicket.
