In Abu Dhabi, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Krunal Pandya and Piyush Chawla have been added to MI’s starting lineup, while Saurabh Tiwary and Jayant Yadav have been benched. SRH has also made two changes: Kane Williamson and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are out with niggles, and Mohammed Nabi and Manish Pandey, who are also guiding them tonight, have come in to replace them.
In the Powerplay overs, Sunrisers Hyderabad has made a good start to the chase, adding 70/1. This means they’ve surpassed the critical 65-run threshold, which would have qualified Mumbai Indians for the playoffs if they’d been limited to that amount. As a result, the reigning champions have been eliminated from the playoffs.
Mumbai Indians scored 235/9 after electing to bat first at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, with Ishan Kishan scoring 84 and Suryakumar Yadav making 82.
