MI vs SRH Highlights IPL 2024: Suryakumar scores second IPL ton, guides Mumbai to seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad

Probably a couple short. You saw in our innings that the wicket had a bit in it till the 10-12 over mark. 

On Sanvir as the impact sub: Having Sanvir out there got us to 170 rather than 150. Ideally we’d have had a pacer but wouldn’t have made too much of a difference. It’s T20 cricket, doesn’t always work out that way. Came against a good side, especially SKY.

On campaign: We knew the equation coming into the game. We like playing at home, we’ll wait and see what’s ahead of us. Hopefully a few more fireworks.

Nattu to bowl out. Tilak takes a single. Surya on 96. The one thing that can top a MI win is a Surya century,. Can he give the chanting crowd a ton? MI needs SIX to win. He can do both in one ball. HE GOES OVER COVER FOR SIX and gets his TON and seals the game in Mumbai’s favour. His sixth T20 hundred this. Seven wicket for Mumbai Indians courtesy a brilliant effort from Suryakumar Yadav. 

Cummins. He will bowl out. Tilak takes a single to begin. Cummins then goes for the bouncer. Deemed wide. He then goes slower. A bunch of singles and then Surya finds a way to break free, with back to back fours. He’s now on 90 off 49 balls. What an innings this has been from the MI batter. He then swivels Cummins for SIX over. All pulled to and over the fence. What a batting masterclass from the man. Needs four more for a century but the match is sealed in MI’s favour. 

Natarajan to bowl his third. He begins short and Surya can’t connect with that attempted pull. Surya then breaks free, back of a length ball almost just nudged to the third man boundary. It beats a fielder who could have definitely dove to try and save that, Mayank Agarwal the man. Surya then tries to sweep off a pitched up ball heading into the stumps, lands safely. Surya, the man with nine lives today. Nattu then goes for the bouncer. Tilak then hooks the ball to the fine leg fence. FOUR. Brilliant yorker but Tilak runs a single. What a range of deliveries from Nattu. 10 runs come off the over. Just 25 needed now for MI. 

Bhuvneshwar returns and will bowl out. Starts with a wide. Tilak then runs a single, with Jansen jarring his shoulder on the ground in trying to collect the ball. Surya now is struggling to run. Two dots. The fielders, especially the infield, needs to capitalise and frustrate him. But he can always go aerial, much like a certain Glenn Maxwell did a few months ago at this very venue. AND HE DOES JUST THE SAME. A bit full but drops the pace on it. Just right for SKY who dispatches it over long on for SIX. Bhuvi ends with a single with Surya thumps to point. Nine runs come off the over. 

Jansen to bowl his third. Surya looks in some visible discomfort as he labours for runs. He is testing his groin here with a few stretches, He has not called for help or the physio. Tilak runs one, Surya runs two. He is visibly slower, but he has brought up his half century. Jansen’s bouncer is called a wide. Well above Surya’s head. He then goes straight and full and Surya straight bats the ball over the bowler’s head for FOUR. Slightly overpitched this one and Surya punishes it. OH HE GOES AGAIN, this time over cover for FOUR. Jansen sends this one darting into leg and Surya needs to play it off his feet to send it to midwicket for a single. Proper effort needed from Surya to run. He’s wincing everytime he runs. Tilak also takes a single, with a delivery that looked a bit high but is okay and not penalised. A slight limp here seen in Surya’s gait. 

Hardik is seen warming up in the dugout. Nitish bowls. Surya meanwhile runs a single after seeing off a full toss. He grimaces while making the crease. Not good signs for Mumbai. Tilak smacks Nitish for FOUR. Lovely sound off the bat, a length ball dispatched to the ropes for FOUR and Pat Cummins is unhappy. He then runs one after sending the ball through deep point. Surya then plays a full toss almost across his pads for FOUR. He then runs a single sending the ball through long on. Tilak retains strike after running a single. 12 runs off this Nitish Reddy over. SRH needs to find a way to stop MI. Mumbai needs this pair to see the chase through. 

T. Natarajan in place on Nitish Reddy. Natarajan to SKY, FOUR! Wonderful shot from Suryakumar who finds the small gap at the backward point to get a boundary. Nine off this over as MI need 81 off 54 now. 

Cummins keeps it very tight in his over and gives just one single from his first five deliveries. Just a single from this over as the required run rate jumps to 9. 

Nitish Reddy replaces Jansen. He starts with three dots against Tilak. FOUR! Short delivery dwindling down the leg and Tilak swivels and clears the deep midwicket boundary. Just one boundary from this over. 

T. Natarajan comes into the attack for Cummins. Tilak welcomes him with a FOUR after driving the length ball at wide mid-off. Good recovery from the bowler as he finishes well, just five off his first over. 

Marco Jansen replaces Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Jansen to SKY, FOUR! Gets to the line of the ball and clears the mid-on region to start the over with a boundary. Jansen to SKY, FOUR! Even better, a straight drive, much like a slap down the ground. Jansen to SKY, SIX! Moves away and flicks it towards the fine leg for a maximum. He ends with another SIX as 22 runs have come from this over.

Cummins continues. Cummins to Tilak, FOUR! That’s a cracking shot from Tilak, who runs down the track and slaps the length ball over extra cover. A midfield at mid-off gives Tilak a single in the next delivery. Cummins to SKY, SIX! A classic Suryakumar Yadav shot. He waited for the ball to come and guided it behind the keeper for a maximum. FOUR! Varma plays it fine to get the third boundary of this over which also takes MI past 50. 16 off the over. 

Bhuvneshwar to bowl his third. OUT! Naman Dhir failed to get off the mark and he departs for a nine-ball duck! A testing line from Bhuvneshwar and Naman edges to Jansen at the first slip. Tilak Varma comes in at number five. Bhuvneshwar to Suryakumar, FOUR! A gentle drive towards long-off helps SKY open account. 

WICKET Naman Dhir c Jansen b Kumar 0 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Skipper Pat Cummins into the attack. Cummins to Rohit, OUT! Cummins gets the big fish. Rohit tries to chip the ball but an edge is only carried to keeper Klaasen. Suryakumar Yadav, the new batter in at four struggled his way against Cummins as the Australian starts with a maiden over. 

WICKET Rohit Sharma c †Klaasen b Cummins 4 (5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 80

Bhuvneshwar continues. FOUR BYES! Both Naman Dhir and Klaasen get beaten. Four dots to end a brilliant over. 

Marco Jansen from the other end. He bowls from over the wicket and starts with a FIVE WIDES down the leg. Jansen to Kishan, FOUR! Short and wide as Kishan whips it with authority. FOUR BYES! Jansen is getting a lot of movement and is not able to control his line. Jansen to Kishan, OUT! Kishan is bamboozled! Length ball on the middle and Kishan edged out to first slip. Naman Dhir at number three plays out the over carefully. 

WICKET Ishan Kishan c Agarwal b Jansen 9 (7b 2x4 0x6) SR: 128.57

Bhuvneshwar to Kishan, FOUR! Length ball on leg and Kishan flicks it at square leg to start the chase with a boundary. FOUR! Four more, this time off the pads which runs away from keeper Klaasen. Kumar to Rohit, FOUR! Rohit shimmies down the track and goes aerial. 13 off the first over. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to start the proceedings with the new ball. Ishan Kishan is on strike while Roohit Sharma is at the non-strikers’ end. 

A remarkable bowling card for MI as the big-hitting Sunrisers are restricted to 173. If you looked at this game in the middle overs, you would be surprised the side managed 173 particularly with how Hardik and Piyush bowled and strangled the run flow too in the middle. Hardik, particularly, went back to his aggressive bowling style and found much success in bowling into the wicket and pitching it into the batters. Jasprit Bumrah got just the one scalp, that of Abhishek Sharma, but he once again bowled at an economy of under six keeping things tight during his spell. Debutant Anshul Kamboj could have had his name next to Travis Head’s if the Australian’s nine-lives-luck had not activated this time too, but finished with his maiden IPL scalp in Mayank Agarwal. All the good work was undone just a bit in the end, with SRH, thanks to Pat Cummins and Sanvir Singh, managing 37 runs in the last 19 balls. SRH might be 15-odd runs over what they were heading to score. Can SRH defend this score? Chawla says there’s no assistance for spin despite his success. SRH just has Shahbaz for spin. Dew has set in early. It’ll be interesting to see how the PowerPlay goes for SRH. 

Thushara to finish the innings. Cummins anticipates the wide almost and moves into his off stump area to try and get bat on it, but can’t. Wide called. He then manufactures a shot sending the ball to midwicket for a single. Thushara goes well outside off again and Sanvir reaches for it and cuts to backward point for a single. Thushara goes full, Cummins manages to clip that away and run two. And then it comes - the Pat Cummins six. He has whacked that ball over long off for six. Goes just over Tim David. Cummins then manages to get his bat down to send a yorker from Thushara to square leg for FOUR. Incredible effort this. He finishes the innings with two runs off the final delivery. SRH finishes with 173/8. 

Bumrah will bowl out. Bumrah begins slower and Cummins has nudged that to cover for single. Another slower ball and Cummins has placed this through short third for FOUR. Bumrah pegs back with a brilliant comeback delivery, his signature yorker. Just missed the stumps that as Cummins is beaten. Dot ball. A couple of singles follow as Bumrah keeps SRH quiet. Eight runs off the over and Bumrah is done for the day. 

Nuwan Thushara to bowl. SRH fields impact sub Sanvir Singh, with eighteen balls left in this innings. Cummins first runs a single off a fuller ball negotiated behind point. Sanvir opens his account with a single through cover. Thushara then sends in a beamer, Cummins ducks in self defence with the ball running away to third. Bumrah stops it from going all the way. But Cummins has asked Sanvir to run three runs. No ball also signalled. Just a couple of runs come off the free hit. Just 12 runs come off the over, could have been more if Surya’s stop at cover had not stopped the ball. He’s been good in the field. 

Chawla to bowl his last over. Chawla starts with a wide. Chawla to Cummins, SIX! Cummins middles the ball and gets the sweet spot to clear the long-on fence. Chawla to Samad, OUT! Length ball on off and a huge LBW shout followed after Samad missed to get a connection. 11 runs and a wicket from this over. 

WICKET Abdul Samad lbw b Chawla 3 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75

Oh yet another wicket off the first ball of the over for Harik. Comes in to complete his spell and goes full to Shahbaz who swings at it. He gets the height but not the distance as Suryakumar Yadav comes under it at long on. Big cheers and Rohit pats Hardik in appreciation. That fuller length foxed Shahbaz who can do nothing but grimace as he makes his way back to the dugout. 

WICKET Shahbaz Ahmed c Yadav b Pandya 10 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 83.33

Abdul Samad is the new batter. Has quite a healthy strike rate. SRH will need him to do some hitting now. This is Hardik’s day! He keeps the line on the middle and Jansen misses as the stumps have been uprooted! Jansen is CLEAN BOWLED! Skipper Pat Cummins is the new man in and he gets off the mark with a single. 

WICKET Marco Jansen b Pandya 17 (12b 1x4 1x6) SR: 141.66

Piyush again. Sticks to his full length balls to both batters. Shahbaz and Jansen try and make room to find runs. Piyush then goes a tad too full and it’s in the slot for Jansen who dispatches the ball for six runs over deep midwicket. He finds the boundary yet again sweeping Piyush for four. Much needed runs for SRH. 

Strategic timeout taken. 

Bumrah returns. Hardik is looking to capitalise on the wickets falling and there comes MI’s trump card - Jasprit Bumrah. Comes in from around the wicket. Goes fuller and then tags back the length with a drop in pace. Bumrah even concedes a wide, which stays despite a review due to the line. Six runs come off the over. And Markram has run in with a towel and water for his teammates. 

Another over, another wicket for Piyush Chawla and this one has put the Sunrisers in a pickle. Heinrich Klaasen is clean bowled! Fuller delivery bowled a little faster, takes the inside edge and rocks into the stumps. Pits for SRH. 

WICKET Heinrich Klaasen b Chawla 2 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50

Klaasen was looking to swing the ball in that midwicket region, but ended up losing his stumps. He has been a bit dicey against spin this season, something teams will note in a World Cup year. Shahbaz is the new batter. The SRH 100 comes up. 

Hardik Pandya returns for his third. And he strikes right away. You can’t keep Anshul Kamboj away from the action and he takes a straightforward catch running in from point. It was a short ball outside off and Nitish Reddy who looked to find some elevation over cover, holes out to the fielder. Marco Jansen is the new batter. 

WICKET Nitish Kumar Reddy c Kamboj b Pandya 20 (15b 2x4 0x6) SR: 133.33

Hardik concedes just four runs off the over. SRH struggling to break free here. 

Piyush Chawla into the attack now. Nitish and Head run two singles. Off the third delivery, he goes full to Head who tries to flick it over the deep backward square leg fence. But, Head can’t clear the ropes and holes out to Tilak Verma. BIG FISH THIS! Klaasen is the new batter. Four runs and a wicket to begin with for the experienced leggie. 

WICKET Travis Head c Tilak Varma b Chawla 48 (30b 7x4 1x6) SR: 160

Kamboj to complete his quota. Four runs from the first five deliveries courtesy of a double and two singles. Nitish clears his leg and hits down the ground for a double to end this over. Six off Kamboj’s last over. 

Hardik stays in the attack from one end. FOUR! Nitish plays it very late and gets an outside edge while opening the bat. FOUR! This is classy from Nitish. He stays back and plays a backfoot punch towards point. Another 11-run over for Pandya. 

Anshul Kamboj comes back into the attack. Kamboj to Head, DROPPED! Oh dear, this is criminal. How can you give so many reprieves to this dangerous man? A yorker-length ball flies towards deep third where Thusara puts down a dolly. Kamboj to Mayank, OUT! Clean bowled! Uhh, finally a wicket to this young man. Mayank tried to clear the cover boundary but the ball goes through his defence. In comes the new batter Nitish Reddy at no. five. 

Mayank Agarwal b Kamboj 5

Skipper Hardik replaces Kamboj. FOUR! Head starts over with a boundary. He clears the infield with a small little jump, playing the ball over deep mid-wicket. FOUR! Length ball on off for Mayank who gorgeously drives it over cover, ending the over with a boundary. 11 from this over. 

Bumrah continues. FOUR! Head gets another boundary. Kamboj misfielded to gift Head another four. Bumrah to Abhishek, OUT! Finally some consolation for Mumbai. Slight movement away from the left-hander and Abhishek nicks it to Kishan. Mayank Agarwal comes in at no. three. 

Abhishek Sharma c †Ishan Kishan b Bumrah 11 (16b 0x4 1x6)

Anshul continues. SIX! Head goes aerial, picks the line early and swings to pull away the length ball over midwicket. Kamboj goes around the wicket and rips through Head’s defence, uprooting his stumps! What a scalp! Hold on, hold on. It is a NO BALL! Head gets another reprieve. He punishes Kamboj for his mistake by hitting two FOURS! SRH gets to 50 in the fifth over as 19 runs have come from this over. 

Hardik brings Jasprit Bumrah in place of Kamboj. Bumrah loads his wide yorker as Travis Head finds it difficult to negotiate, another lucky single. A brilliant start from the Purple Cap holder who gives just five from his first over. 

Thushara continues. He keeps the length the same and varies with line around off. Three singles from the first four deliveries before Head slams down the ground for a FOUR! 7 from this over. 

Debutant Anshul Kamboj to bowl the second over of the innings. He, too, starts with a wide. A couple of singles followed. Kamboj to Sharma, SIX! Stand and deliver as Abhishek opens his arms and floats his bat to hit the ball over extra cover. FOUR! Travis Head rides on another lucky inside edge which runs to the boundary. 14 off Kamboj’s first over. 

Travis Head takes the strike. Nuwan Thushara starts with a wide, well beyond keeper Kishan’s reach but the latter dived on his right to save a boundary. Thusara keeps Abhishek interested with his swinging delivery which goes down the leg and umps calls it a fair delivery. Abhishek takes a review for a wide call and wastes it. Thushara to Head, FOUR! Lucky inside edge that runs to the fine leg boundary. An eventful over finally comes to an end with seven coming off it. 

All set, Nuwan Thushara has the new ball in hand for MI and it’s Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head in the middle for SRH.

The Indian Premier League is entering the last fortnight of the league stage. Naturally, it’s that time of the year when terms like “business end, must-win affair, playing for pride and playing spoilsport” will be used as frequently as Travis Head’s sixes and Jasprit Bumrah’s toe-crushers.

Despite all these terms befitting the contest between Sunrisers Hyderabad – among the most aggressive outfits who can seldom afford a slip-up for making it to the Playoffs – and Mumbai Indians – on course to be awarded the wooden spoon, it will be the battle between the inform opening batter and the pick of IPL bowlers – yet again – that will be tempting for the fans to flock the Wankhede Stadium on Monday night.
