Match 9: MI vs SRH
Mumbai Indians (MI) were successful in making their second consecutive victory after beating the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 9 of the VIVO Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 at the M. A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday.
To start off, SRH made the best of the powerplay, scoring 57/0 in the 6 overs, with Bairstow striking the ball super-clean. SRH were 74/2 at the 10-overs mark as Warner continued playing his shots against the MI spinners before the SRH skipper fell victim to an excellent direct-hit from Hardik Pandya inside the circle that ended his innings of 36.
Further, the duo kept rotating the strike but the SRH spinners did not allow them to switch to aggressive mode, forcing de Kock to play an aerial shot off Mujeeb Ur Rahman, straight to the outfielder at mid-wicket and the left-hander was gone for a well-made 40.
Finally, it was Pollard who did not allow SRH to get away with their excellent bowling after the right-handed West Indian batsman made the final two deliveries for six, which enabled MI to reach the 150 mark thus declaring a win.
