Mumbai Indians reached into the highest three of the Indian Premier League securing a seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Rohit Sharma smacked three sixes and eight fours scoring 70 runs in his second straight half-century as Mumbai reached 146-3 in 15.4 overs, propelling them to 3rd place on the factors desk.
Earlier, Heinrich Klaasen belted 71 off 44 balls to avoid wasting Hyderabad from destruction and revived the innings in a 99-run stand with Abhinav Manohar who made 43 off 63 balls earlier than Jasprit Bumrah had Klassen caught at deep mid-wicket within the penultimate over ending with the rating on 143-8 with new ball bowlers Trent Boult (4-26) and Deepak Chahar (2-12) doing probably the most injury.
It’s a exceptional turnaround for Mumbai, with Hyderabad at No. 9, on the factors desk simply forward of last-place Chennai Tremendous Kings.
