Opting to bat, Mumbai Indians scored 162 for five in the allotted 20 overs, and then, SRH ended their innings at the same score after Manish Pandey hit a dramatic last-ball six in the 20th over.
Needing nine to win in the Super Over, Hardik Pandya hammered Rashid Khan for a six over long off in the first ball and then Kieron Pollard took the side home with three balls to spare. Sunrisers Hyderabad had managed 8/2 in the one-over eliminator.
Hyderabad needed 17 runs off the last over and the equation was brought down to seven by the time Hardik braced up to bowl the final delivery. But Manish Pandey (71 not out off 47 balls) carted the all-rounder over long-on for a six to bring the scores level and force a Super Over, a first at the Wankhede Stadium.
Earlier, Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 69 took the hosts to a respectable total on a difficult pitch.
