The hosts were set a target of 137 runs but failed miserably. Alzarri Joseph took 6 wickets on debut for MI and arguably was Man of the Match.
SRH had won the toss and opted to field. MI made certain changes, Ishan Kishan, Alzarri Joseph were playing in place of Yuvraj and Malinga.
The pitch didn't look like the one they smashed above 200 against RCB. This was holding a little bit and shots weren't easy to play on. Nobody got going but it was again an Caribbean changing the complexion of the game scoring 46 off just 26. 136 looked like a par score.
SRH must have expected their opening pair to continue their form. But MI had other plans.Rahul Chahar got rid of Bairstow. Alzarri Joseph was on fire today and went on to scalp 6 wickets. Chahar picked up 2 wickets with Bumrah and Behendorff taking 1 wicket apiece.
It may come as a surprise to some MI fans as they have two in a row in the first half of the tournament.
