Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 43rd match of the Pepsi Indian Premier League in Hyderabad, on Wednesday.

Interestingly, both teams went in with an unchanged line-up from their previous games.

Shikhar Dhawan's unbeaten knock of 73 helped Hyderabad thrash Mumbai by seven wickets.

Mumbai's veteran batsman Sachin Tendulkar failed again with the bat.

- Should Mumbai Indians drop Tendulkar?

He made 14 from 12 balls before he was bowled through the gate by pacer Ishant Sharma as Mumbai lost an early wicket.

Twin strikes in one over from Ishant jolted the Mumbai Indians camp as he followed the wicket of Tendulkar with the scalp of in-form Dinesh Karthik for a duck.

Karthik was caught at point by Karan Sharma trying to play an uppish drive.

Ishant registered wonderful figures of two for 15 in four overs, including a maiden over.

Leg-spinner Amit Mishra continued his good form with the ball as he took for two in four overs.

Mishra removed both Rohit Sharma (22) and Dwayne Smith (38) in the same over as Hyderabad's bowlers never allowed the Mumbai batters to flourish.

Mishra is currently the joint highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 16 wickets in 10 games, the same tally as James Faulkner (7 games) and Dwayne Bravo (10 games).
