Mumbai Indians have shown their form in Indian premier league before losing 2 matches earlier of the IPL. Mumbai Indians team management still struggling with middle-order batsman as Yuvraj Singh is not good in form and we do not see a blast from Kieron Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav innings against Chennai super kings give some hope to the team. By the way, their team had experienced player so they can win the match from any situation and their skipper is leading the team and having a victory for the team.
The match between sun risers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians played at Hyderabad at 8 pm at night and the pitch was helpful for spinners. Hyderabad winning the toss decided to field first which was positive for them but Mumbai Indians start was so terrible that the total was looking around 100 runs as they were playing with 5 runs per over and losing their top wickets inside the powerplay and they bring Ishan Kishan in place of Yuvraj Singh. Middle order problem that is facing from the start of the tournament.
Inside the 13th overs, Mumbai Indians have lost wickets of Rohit Sharma, de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan and Krunal Pandya. Due to a flop of Top orders and middle orders pressure now comes to finisher Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya. It was not luck for Hardik Pandya in the match because while hitting for a flat six he had given a catch to Vijay Shankar near the rope in the bowling of Rashid Khan. At that time Mumbai was 86-6 in 16.3 overs and now it was impossible to score 120+.
Pollard one-handed played an innings of 46 runs in 26 balls with include of 4 sixes and 2 boundaries at a strike rate of 175. Now, Mumbai Indians team have a good total on the board and so now bowlers have to play an important role to defend the total then only they able to win the match. If they able to take wickets of Jonny Bairstow and David Warner as early as possible then only they able to win the match and the bowler did the job.
Rahul Chahar and Joseph take a wicket of Jonny Bairstow and David Warner and now match was in the hand of Mumbai Indians. In the next spell Joseph take 4 more wickets and became the youngest player to debut for the team with taking 6 wickets. Due to this performance, Joseph became a man of the match.
