Hyderabad: Mumbai Indians bowlers bowled out Sunrisers Hyderabad to 113 and a 106-run opening stand as Mumbai Indians won by nine wickets and finish on second spot.
Parthiv got to his half-century off deliveries and will go into the playoffs full of confidence. Simmons too played his part and supported Parthiv well but got out with just eight runs to get. They played their natural game and took on all the bowlers with ease.
MI have had a poor start to the IPL 2015, where they lost the opening four matches of the tournament and will be delighted to have made it to the playoffs despite that.
Earlier, Mitchell McClenaghan and Jagadeesha Suchith’s brilliant spells help MI restrict SRH to a paltry 113. SRH had a disastrous beginning to their innings as they lost both their openers early. Dhawan went for just one as an excellent yorker from Lasith Malinga on off stump beat him on pace and his wicket was uprooted.
He was immediately followed by his skipper Warner, who tried to pull a short delivery from McClenaghan and the ball took the top edge and was taken by Kieron Pollard,
KL Rahul was the lone hope for SRH from there but he too fell after getting off to a good start for 25, leaving it to the lower order to get the team off to a good score. Karn and Ashish Reddy then came together to rescue their team.
Dale Steyn’s late onslaught got SRH past the 100-run mark. The bowlers do not have much to bowl at but SRH have some wonderful bowlers, who could swing it in their favour.
