Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians, T20, 48th Match, May 8, 2017 - Match Info

So, Hyderabad are sitting pretty with 15 under their belt. A win in Kanpur or a loss for Punjab would seal the deal for them. Mumbai, sitting even higher have another couple of games to try and test some more. The last five days of the league beckon with all sorts of mathematical permutations and combinations to be played out. On behalf of Vineet Anantharaman, Raju Peethala, Ramakrishnan, Abhinand Raghavendran and Krishna, it is a goodbye. Ta ta!!

Dhawan: I was very happy that my name got into the Champions Trophy squad. Davey got out early and I knew that I had to stay out and take the team home. Moises did well to play along too. I have been feeling good, I was working on my technique and my consistency. All the work I put in with my love and heart is paying off now.

Warner: It did go to plan. Credit to the bowlers, they bowled well with the pace a bit on the slower side. They gave the batsmen a low total to chase. As Rohit said, the wicket did not change much through the day. Rashid Khan and Kaul started off brilliantly and Bhuvi finished it off for us. Dhawan then took us home along with Moises. Getting Lendl out early was important and we thought we could shut out one side of the ground with the big boundaries and the breeze which is why we got Nabi on to bowl early. We built pressure, did not let them set in and fortunately got quick ones in the bag. We have to win the next game, last year we had to win three in a row to win and lift the trophy. We are treating each one as a knockout and are looking forward to the next. A big thank you to our fans for turning out for us all through

Rohit Sharma: The batting (when asked to pinpoint one reason behind today's loss). Not enough runs on the board. 138 was too less on that wicket. SRH bowled really well. They stuck to their plans and kept us guessing all the way through. We just wanted to try. We haven't batted (first) much. We just wanted to try something different and it didn't pay off. We have two more games left. We need to regroup as soon as we can and try to turn it around. Batting second was so much easier. If you don't take wickets, it's always going to be hard. Shikhar batted really well. It's a great eye-opener as to what we need to do when we bat first. Toss is in nobody's hand. We could be put to bat first. Today was a great lesson for us.

Looked pretty easy. A cakewalk. Not even Warner's dismissal early up was enough to send jitters down the Hyderabadi spine. Dhawan ensured he led the marching out with two of the most crucial points this season. It doesn't guarantee them a qualification but it does kick Delhi out of the reckoning. It did look a touch dicey when Yuvraj was on a self-imposed struggle with his injured finger in the middle, but with the run-rate never going out of hand, it was only a matter of closing it off. Mumbai would rue some of the shots they played first up, especially against the spinners. To be fair, it looked pretty much like an experimentation from them - right from the toss. An experiment that deflates their momentum building up balloon. Hang in there, the presentation coming up..

18.2 Bumrah to Vijay Shankar, FOUR, that's that. A juicy length delivery right in the slot and Shankar swings it over mid-on. Trickling away into the fence with the field brought up. Applies the finishing touches in style. SRH plant their flag again to reclaim the fortress

18.1 Bumrah to Vijay Shankar, no run, nicely done. Gets it rapidly on the base of the sticks. Dug out

17.6 McClenaghan to Vijay Shankar, 1 run, full, tailing in late on middle. An unflustered straight drive. One hit away now..

17.5 McClenaghan to Dhawan, 1 run, finishing it in singles. McClenaghan does a mirror image of Bumrah with his bowling action. Having some fun are both sides. An angled batted nudge round the corner to milk himself closer
