SRH Failed To Go Hot Against MI At Wankhede

The Sunrisers Hyderabad looked seemingly slow during their innings, and despite repeated chances, openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma failed to put on a batting show. Even though they got a fifty-run stand, their shots mostly misfired, and SRH couldn't capitalise at Wankhede. SRH couldn't go buck wild with the bat and had to settle for a low-par score.

On the other hand, Hardik Pandya made no mistake after the early hiccups they suffered in the first innings. The bowling unit looked superior, with fine spells from Hardik Pandya, Trent Boult, Will Jacks, and Jasprit Bumrah picked up timely wickets to restrict the Sunrisers Hyderabad to 162 at the loss of five wickets.
