IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Highlights: SKY battles pain to score century, leads Mumbai to 7-wicket win

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: “I have done this after a long time. I fielded for 20 overs and batted for 18 overs, only tired (nothing else to worry about.) I feel it was the need of the hour for me. I went out to bat, needed someone to bat till the end. I just enjoyed my time. It's from the Mumbai school of arts, have played a lot of cricket at Wankhede. When the ball stopped seaming, I played all my shots that I practice in the nets. I feel the intent would have been the same, I would have definitely played in the same pattern.”

We want to focus on playing good cricket, still think we gave 10-15 runs extra. The way our batters batted, that was excellent. My bowling, I like to bowl in the right areas, I bowl according to the situation. Bowled in the right areas today and it worked. I was like Chawla had to bowl from the shorter side. He (Chawla) had to be accurate, the margin of errors have become smaller these days for the bowlers. It's unbelievable, the best past of SKY is that he puts the bowlers under pressure. It's sheer confidence, his game has changed, is one of the best batters. He can change a game in a different way, lucky to have him (SKY) in our side.

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Pat Cummins reacts to the loss. “Probably a couple short, at the Wankhede you want as many as you can get. You always feel like you’re in, the wicket had a little bit in it so we were definitely in the game. I think Sanvir helped us get to that 170 instead of 150, ideally we’d have a bowler. It’s T20 cricket, and it doesn't always work out. SKY played really well. We like playing at home, we’ll wait and see what’s ahead of us. Hopefully a few more fireworks,” he says. 

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: How about it! This is a ridiculous effort from Suryakumar Yadav. He was limping, he was struggling to go through the motion required to play the drive shot. And yet, he has finished unbeaten on 102 off 51 balls, a strike rate of exactly 200. Varma at the other end on 37 off 32. He took a single off the first ball bowled by Natarajan. SKY then hits the second over long-off to get to his second IPL century, his sixth T20 century.

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: And just like that, Suryakumar Yadav has brought MI within touching distance of victory and he himself is four runs away from a truly extraordinary century. SKY pulls the fourth ball over midwicket, then the fifth is pulled again to the boundary for another four. He ends the over with a pull shot as well and this time, it is a six. SKY is on 96 off 50, Varma at the other end on 36 off 31.

He is on 66 off 38, Varma on 28 off 25.

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: 16 runs off the sixth over from Cummins and that is the end of a very strange powerplay. Tilak Varma starts the over off with a shot through cover for four. He gets off strike and then SKY tries to clip a length ball from deep inside the crease behind him. It goes over deep third instead of long leg and still goes for six. A single and then Varma glances the fifth ball fine for a four. Dot ball to finish it off and Varma is on nine off six, SKY on 11 off nine.

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Forget boundaries, the only runs that have come for MI in the last two overs have been through four byes. Cummins gives SKY a taste of what it is like to face him in Test cricket. Bangs it in somewhere around length throughout the over and makes SKY play for it. SKY just cannot get bat on any of his attempted shits though, which is good enougb because he would have probably got nothing more than an edge on any of it. Extraordinary stuff from SRH.

MI vs SRH IPL Live Score: MI 31/2 in 4 overs

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: SRH are being relentless today. Piyush Chawla had said that there is a lot for pacers in this pitch and SRH have a high-performing pace lineup. Cummins bangs it in on a length, gets movement off the pitch which does Rohit in. The former MI skipper skies his attempted cross-batted biggie, Klaasen calls for it and takes the catch.

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Just excellent stuff from the senior pacer. He keeps Naman Dhir pinned throughout the over Bhuvneshwar does give four runs in that over through byes. He cut Dhir in half second ball but it ends up beating the keeper too. The fourth ball went to second slip off the outside edge but it didn't carry.

MI vs SRH IPL Live Score: MI 31/1 in 3 overs

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Oh the ball kisses the outside edge and goes into the hands of first slip. That is a beauty from the South African all-rounder. Fullish delivery around 137kph, the seam movement does Kishan in. The batter tries to clip it past square leg but it takes a leading edge and goes to Mayank Agarwal at first slip.

MI vs SRH IPL Live Score: MI 26/1 in 1.4 overs

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Ishan Kishan starts off with a four first ball itself. Bhuvi strayed on to Kishan's pads and the latter just tucked it through square leg to the boundary. The second delivery goes off Kishan's pads past the wicketkeeper to the boundary for four leg byes. Kishan gets off strike after that and then a play and a miss from Rohit. Rohit them comes down the track and muscles the fifth ball over wide mid-on for a four. Dot ball to end the over and Rohit is on four off three, Kishan on five off three.

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Allright then, Rohit Sharma walks out with Ishan Kishan. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the first over. 

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Chances of MI making it to the playoffs are miniscule even if they win on a canter. Considering there is a T20 World Cup coming right after this, and then a five-Test tour of Australia later in the year, is it smart to give Bumrah some rest? 

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Cummins may have somehow dragged SRH into a position from where they can fight here. The SRH captain finishes unbeaten on 35 off 17 balls. Thushara bowls the last over. He starts off with a wide and then the batters run four runs in the next three balls. Then Cummins sends the fourth ball over long off for a six. The fifth is a yorker and Cummins jams his bat down to it, the ball goes between his legs and past square leg for four. Two runs off the last ball and that is how it ends. Thushara finishes with figures of 0/42, not a good day in the office for him at all.

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: SRH captain Cummins getting some valuable runs for his side, he managed to get a four off the second ball of the over from Bumrah. Then, somehow, he survives the rest of the balls he faces in that over.

MI vs SRH IPL Live Score: SRH 156/8 in 19 overs

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Five of those came because of the fact that Thushara slipped in a beamer on Cummins third ball which the SRH captain somehow sent over short fine leg.

MI vs SRH IPL Live Score: SRH 148/8 in 18 overs

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Length ball on the stumps by Chawla to finish the 17th over. Samad plays all over it and takes it on the front pad, MI appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Samad reviews, even he knows its a formality though. It takes an eternity for the ball-tracking to load though and when it finally does, it shows why this was a formality in the first place. About 4 Ravindra Jadeja deliveries could've been bowled in the time this review that no one wanted happened.
