The tall Kiwi pacer, Tim Southee has the new nut in his hand. He has looked rusty in this tournament. Today is the day, MUM really need him to stand up and be counted. He has a wide slip in place
The players are back out in the middle. HYD gave a fine exhibition of bowling to keep the MUM camp to a slightly below par total. In their last game against GUJ, MUM put up a slick performance in the field to make GUJ's batsmen earn every run. It was a performance that was worthy of a champion side. This time too, they have to show their mettle in the field to pull things back.
"I bowled well, last two matches I did not bowl well. So I wanted to step up. Being a senior it is a responsibility to step up. I think if you look at the ground we should chase it down. Yeah, he is one of the best, so I was looking to get him out early in the innings (talking about Guptill)," Bhuvneshwar Kumar tells the interviewer near the sidelines.
For HYD, the seamers bowled with discipline and purpose. If Bhuvneshwar was parsimonious, then the duo of Mustafizur and Barindar Sran befuddled the batsmen with their box of tricks. Henriques, too, put up a good show. The track should remain the same for 40 overs and HYD will fancy their chances of chasing it down.
Krunal Pandya and Ambati Rayudu unfurled a volley of strokes to ensure MUM aggregate a fighting total. On a good track for batting, MUM lost wickets at regular intervals and found themselves in a spot of bother. However, it was Krunal, who changed the complexion of the innings by crunching three sixes off Bipul Sharma's final over. His innings was made up of a few orthodox shots sprinkled with slogs and heaves. His partner, Rayudu, played with a calm head on his shoulders and when needed, cracked the big shot.

16.4 -
Mustafizur to Rayudu, 2 runs, exceptional running between the Mumbai pair, it was a full toss and Rayudu mistimed the swing to deep mid-wicket. The fielder there had a bit of work to do and the duo cashed in, Rayudu was running to the danger end but made it with a dive in the end

12.6 -
Henriques to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, big mix-up but Rayudu is home eventually, Pandya moved across and then steered it to short third man and set off.

Was hurried by the ball and gloved the pull to the keeper, who moved to his left and snaffled it with ease. Buttler c N Ojha b Barinder 11(11) [4s-1]
Barinder to Buttler, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

It is for Buttler to show his pyrotechnics and pilot MUM to a total that would give something for the bowlers to defend. A bit of confusion in the middle also did not help MUM's cause

He dabbed a delivery that was bowled slower through the air to Henriques at cover, who went to his right and swooped down on the ball quickly. He also fired in a good throw, with Ojha taking the ball and whipping the bails off. The focal point there was Rohit was sent back after he had covered half of the length of the pitch by Rayudu.

Another outswinger from Bhuvneshwar, Guptill prods forward and looks to defend but ekes out a faint outside edge to the keeper. Guptill wasn't exactly happy with the decision though.

Hyderabad are on the points table finally. Mumbai are once again going down the same lane they have found themselves in the last two seasons. We are entering that phase of the tournament where losses will start to hurt more. Of course Rohit Sharma does not want to press the panic button but he will have to before it gets too late for them. See you all tomorrow as Kolkata travel to Mohali to take on Punjab. Goodnight!
David Warner: "I asked them [bowlers] to execute their skills and keep backing themselves. Restricting them to 140 was a great thing. With two batsmen in we were looking to chase something higher than 160 but we came back to restrict them. The last two games we did not bat and bowl well. Key thing today was that the ball swung for 20 overs. Bipul's 3 overs were fantastic. This is about me playing the game at the top of the order and helping the team as much as I can. I ask the top four to bat through so that some one is there at the end. We have got tremendous crowd support here. They always back us."
David Warner is the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 59-ball 90.
Rohit Sharma: "When you have that kind of a score, you can only hope for the bowlers to come out and do the job. But you cannot always expect that from the bowlers. We have got a lot of experience in the squad. But the batsmen are not able to get a big score. We have spoken how one batsman needs to bat through and get big runs. We did not score enough runs in all the three games that we lost. The only game we won, we chased 180-plus and one of the batsmen batted through the innings. I do not want to press the panic button as it is too early. We have been in same situation in the last couple of years. Southee was superb, he swung the ball and got us early wickets. But again 140 was not enough."
Earlier, MUM were let down by the top-order batsmen, who just couldn't make their presence felt on what was a flat deck. If it wasn't for Krunal Pandya's pyrotechnics and some street-smart batting by Rayudu, MUM would have finished with a modest total. The bulk of the credit has to go to HYD's pacers for keeping it tight and using their variations judiciously.
David Warner harvested a quick-fire fifty to propel HYD to their first win of this year's T20 League. HYD needed this win as they had lost their first couple of games. Henriques and Hooda, too, played decent hands, but HYD crossed the finish line mainly riding on Warner's brilliance. He explored all parts of the ground to unfurl a series of shots and scampered between the wickets to run the opposition ragged. For MUM, Tim Southee swung the new ball prodigiously and ended up with three wickets.
