23:23

Mumbai Indians set for easy win vs SRH

MI 162-6 (18 ovs) vs SRH 162-5 | Scorecard

Harshal Patel comes back for a new spell. He starts with a short ball which Varma pulls behind square on the leg side for two runs and again pulls the next for one.

Pandya picks the slower ball as he lofts Harshal down the ground. The timing is not that great as Cummins runs to his right at long-on and gets a hand to the ball but fails to pouch the ball as the ball goes over for a six.

He throws his bat at the next ball bowled full and wide but it goes off the outside half over thirdman for a four.

A single each to the two batters as 15 runs come from the over.

MI need just two runs away from their second win in a row and their third in seven games.

Malinga starts his new over with a high full toss as Varma gets it off the edge to thirdman for a single.

He then takes the review for the high full toss. The TV umpire rules the height is okay and it is judged a fair delivery.

Pandya goes for the glory shot, looking to swing the low full toss over the leg side but holes out to Kishan at deep midwicket.

Pandya walks back after a good knock of 21 from nine balls, with MI just one away from victory.

Naman Dhir taps a full toss gently to the fielder at midwicket for a dot ball.

Third full toss in a row from Malinga but Dhir again pushes it to the fielder inside the circle on the leg side.

The right-hander is then given out leg before wicket as he misses the sweep off a full delivery.

He takes the review but that looks plumb in front. He is infact walking back as the TV umpire is going through the review.

This is quite bizzare. Dhir has even crossed the boundary before the umpire could rule him out and new batter Mitchell Santner is out in the middle.

And to add to the confusion, the ball tracker is taking time to show up on the screen.

Relief for Dhir as the impact is in line and the ball is striking the middle of middle stump.

This has affected MI's tempo as they miss out on improving their net run rate.

Santner pushes the last ball to the fielder at point for the fifth dot ball in a row as Malinga concedes just a single, while taking two wickets in the over.

22:35

Jacks, Suryakumar put MI in control

MI well-placed on 91/2 in 10 overs at the halfway mark, needing 72 from the remaining 10 overs for victory.

22:28

Rickelton out for 31; MI 2 down

MI 70-2 (8 ovs) vs SRH 162-5 | Scorecard

The experienced Harshal Patel comes into the attack, to bowl the eighth over.

He will be a handy customer on this sluggish pitch with his clever change of pace.

Singles from the first two balls before Rickelton pulls the slower bouncer behind square on the leg side for a four.

The next ball is again a bouncer at normal pace as Rickelton does well to keep it down, this time pulling it front of square for another boundary.

He pushes the next into the covers before he misses the slog sweep.

Rickelton slaps the fifth ball into the covers uppishly as Cummins dives to his right to take a superb catch.

Rickelton is making his way back for 21 from 18 balls. But the fourth umpire halts the MI batter and wants to check whether wicketkeeeper Klaasen had his gloves behind the stumps.

Klaasen's gloves are marginally in front of the stumps as it is ruled a no-ball. Not only does Rickelton get a lifeline but also gets the bonus of a free hit delivery.

Unlucky for the young spinner Ansari as he misses out on a wicket for no fault of his.

Ansari bowls a wide before Rickelton hits the free hit delivery to long-off for just a single and Jacks defends the last ball into the off-side.

A dramatic over from Ansari, who despite the no-ball, concedes just four runs in his first over.

Will Rohit bounce back to form?

MI's big hopes rest on Bumrah against the power-packed SRH batting line-up, featuring big-hitters like Abhishek, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen.

It will be an emotional game for Kishan, who plays against MI at the Wankhede -- whom he played for seven seasons before he was released last year.

Check out the playing XIs of the two teams:

Mumbai Indians: Hardik Pandya (captain), Ryan Rickelton (w/k), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Karn Sharma.

Unchanged MI elect to bowl vs SRH

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has won the toss and elected to bowl against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mumbai on Thursday.

Mumbai Indians have retained the same playing XI which beat Delhi Capitals in a thriller in their previous game.

"We are going to bowl, it is because of the dew. There was dew last night at the Wankhede so it will be better to bat second," said Pandya at the toss.

Meanwhile, Pat Cummins confirms that SRH have also retained the same team.

Can Bumrah tame SRH's batting line-up?

Jasprit Bumrah

Welcome to the coverage of the IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians in Mumbai on Thursday.

An inconsistent Mumbai Indians will hope that ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah returns to his menacing best, which will be essential for them to stop an explosive SRH batting unit in its tracks in a potentially high-scoring match at the Wankhede Stadium.

Coming off a three-month long injury layoff, Bumrah is yet to find the accuracy which makes him a tough customer to deal with.

After a rather tidy outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Bumrah struggled to nail his yorkers and was taken apart by Delhi Capitals' Karun Nair as he leaked 44 runs in that game.

The 31-year-old will face stern test against a Sunrisers' fearsome line-up comprising Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen.

But the five-time champions will also want former captain Rohit Sharma to get back to his run-making ways at the earliest as his current tally is an underwhelming 56 runs from five matches at an average of 11.20.

It has played a massive role in them languishing at the seventh place in the points table with just two wins, and those results were largely built around the contributions of Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma.

The way MI clinched a win from Delhi with accurate fielding might just ignite the missing spark in their camp.

Interestingly, both MI and SRH were able to snap their disappointing run with impressive wins in their previous outings. But it remains to be seen if they are able to attain consistency, which will define their future in the competition.

Nearing the halfway mark, the Sunrisers are also struggling to find their range, tottering at ninth on the table with only net run rate separating the two teams after four losses and two wins in six matches each. MI has a NRR of +0.10 while SRH's run-rate stands at -1.24.

But MI will have to be wary of SRH's batters who have given signs of finding back their mojo after a lull.

Each of the top four -- Head, Abhishek, Klaasen and Kishan -- fired on all cylinders to stun Punjab Kings to give SRH their second win of the season.

Chasing, SRH scored nearly 250 runs to beat Punjab Kings by eight wickets with their batters, especially Abhishek, finding their lost rhythm collectively after the 2016 winners lost four matches on the trot.

Coming off a splendid 55-ball 141, Abhishek will look to draw confidence from his last outing here at the Wankhede Stadium in February this year when he took apart England's bowling to score 135 in the fifth T20I for India.
