IPL 2023: Sunrisers Hyderabad give tough target to Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Mayank Agarwal’s 83-run innings along with a 140-run partnership in 83 balls with Vivrant Sharma (69) for the opening wicket helped Sunrisers Hyderabad to a five-wicket win against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 match here on Sunday. But scored 200 runs. Mumbai will have to win this match and hope for a favorable result from the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans to be played in the evening to stay in the playoff race. The Sunrisers team is already out of the title race. While Mayank hit eight fours and four sixes in his 46-ball innings, Vivrant hit nine fours and two sixes in his 47-ball innings. Akash Madhwal took the wicket of both of them.

He was Mumbai’s most successful bowler with figures of four for 37 in four overs. After winning the toss and electing to field, the Mumbai bowlers did not allow them to score runs in the first two overs. Mayank Agarwal opened the fire with two fours each in the third and fifth overs against Jason Behrendorff and Madhwal. Vivrant Sharma completed the same feat in the fourth and sixth overs against Chris Jordan (one wicket for 42 runs) and Piyush Chawla and completed a half-century partnership in the powerplay for the first wicket. During this, in the fifth over, Suryakumar Yadav missed an easy chance to run out Mayank. Vivrant hit the first six of the match against Piyush in the eighth over.

He completed his first half-century in the IPL by taking one run against Jordan in the 10th over after hitting fours in consecutive balls. Mayank hit a four against Kartikeya in the 11th over to complete the team’s century. He hit a six in the 13th over against Behrendorff and a six in the 14th over against Madhwal. However, Madhwal gave Mumbai their first breakthrough in the same over by dismissing Vivrant. Heinrich Klaasen (18 runs in 13 balls), running in a great rhythm, opened the account with a four as soon as he came to the crease.

Mayank then increased the team’s run rate by hitting sixes against Kartikeya and Piyush. He became Madhwal’s second victim in the 17th over. After his dismissal, the Hyderabad batsmen could not score fast runs. While Jordan removed Glenn Phillips (one run in four balls) in the next over, Madhwal bowled Klaasen and Harry Brook (0) in successive balls to rein in Sunrisers’ run-rate. The team could score only 18 runs from 17th to 19th over. In the last over, captain Aiden Markram (13 not out) hit a six to take the team’s score to 200 runs.
