IPL 2021, Live Cricket Score, Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): Professional Mumbai Indians show why they are the defending champions yet again. Defended a low total for second time in the tournament, on back to back occasions. Just the greatest death bowling unit in the tournament and they keep delivering the goods consistently. SRH have now lost third consecutive game, their middle order disappointing them yet again. Preview: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) play their third game of IPL 2021 against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Saturday and will be aiming to open their account in the league. The David Warner-led side came agonisingly close to registering their first win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) three days ago but their middle order completely collapsed, leading to a six-run loss. SRH anxiously await the return of star New Zealand batsman Kane Williamson, who has already missed out on the first two games due to elbow injury. Yesterday, SRH’s Twitter handle posted a video on his injury update where the Black Caps captain said he is looking to return to full fitness within a week. When he will be making a comeback is still a question. However, he is doing some practice in the nets. Hyderabad would benefit immensly if returns against MI, who are one of the toughest opponents in the competition.

Image: Sportzpics for BCCI[/caption] Mumbai Indians are not expected to make any changed in their XI. They pulled off a win in their last clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) from the jaws of defeat and the win must have given the unit a huge boost of confidence. MI are known fighting till the end and pulling off such victories, the game against KKR was no different when their death overs specialist stepped up to deliver the goods. For SRH, the task would be to find the best XI for themselves and also have a second look at the batting order with Wriddhiman Saha consistently failing at the top and Jonny Bairstow unable to do much at No 4. Manish Pandey too has been consistently average for SRH although he scored a fifty in the first game. But his low strike rate has been a issue for Hyderabad. Squads: Sunrisers Hyderabad: Wriddhiman Saha(w), David Warner(c), Manish Pandey, Jonny Bairstow, Abdul Samad, Vijay Shankar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shahbaz Nadeem, T Natarajan, Kane Williamson, Shreevats Goswami, Siddarth Kaul, Kedar Jadhav, Mohammad Nabi, Jason Roy, Sandeep Sharma, Virat Singh, Basil Thampi, Jagadeesha Suchith, Khaleel Ahmed, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Abhishek Sharma, Priyam Garg Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma(c), Quinton de Kock(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Marco Jansen, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Piyush Chawla, Dhawal Kulkarni, Saurabh Tiwary, Aditya Tare, Adam Milne, Chris Lynn, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jayant Yadav, James Neesham, Anmolpreet Singh, Anukul Roy, Mohsin Khan, Arjun Tendulkar, Yudhvir Singh

 "Highlights, MI vs SRH, IPL 2021, Match 9, Full Cricket Score: Boult polishes off Sunrisers tail as Mumbai win by 13 runs")
Mumbai Indians pull off another professional win. The defending champions started off with a loss but have bounced back brilliantly. They always have a plan which they stick to and their players delivery almost every game. SRH, on the other hand, have a lot to ponder upon, especially their middle order. It seems beyond the top 3, they don’t have batters who can finish games for them.
Tomorrow, we meet again and guess what, it is the first double-header of IPL 2021 with RCB taking on KKR at Chennai in the afternoon and then DC battling out PBKS in the evening. Make sure you are back again with us for the coverage of the two games. It is a good bye from us for now
OUT! Boult cleans up Khaleel to seal the game for Mumbai Indians. They win by 13 runs and register their second victory in the tournament.
Khaleel Ahmed b Boult 1(2)
After 19 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 134/8 ( Bhuvneshwar Kumar 0 , Mujeeb Ur Rahman 0)
Bumrah delivers yet again. Shankar just could not connect well througout the over before departing. SRH need 16 off the last over. Bhuvi is still there but too much to ask from him really against Boult.
After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 130/7 ( Vijay Shankar 24 , )
Mumbai Indians showing why they are defending champions. Boult completes his third. Hardik yet again showing what an addition he is in any side. Isn’t bowling, failing consistently with the bat but has pulled off two spectacular run-outs in the game. Boult removes Rashid for a golden duck. SRH need 21 off 12 and they need Shankar to play till the end.
After 17 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 124/5 ( Vijay Shankar 22 , Abdul Samad 3)
Bumrah time. Starts off with a flick-of-the-wrist off cutter to beat Samad. Single off the next ball. Bumrah brings it back to Shankar from back of the length and almost clips the bails. Bumrah appealed alone for the caught behind as well. He felt there was inside edge involved somewhere. Umpire was unmoved and so were de Kock and Rohit. Two dots in the over. Four off it, all singles. SRH need 27 off 18 balls.
Best bowling figures for Rahul Chahar in IPL:
4/27 v KKR, Chennai, 2021
3/19 V DC, Delhi, 2019
3/19 v SRH, Chennai, 2021*
After 16 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 120/5 ( Vijay Shankar 20 , Abdul Samad 1)
Krunal Pandya back on. Shankar blocks the first ball and collects double off the second. He then hits two back to back sixes to keep SRH in the hunt and release some pressure off his shoulders. Teams go into strategic time out. Things usually change after this time out. SRH need 31 off 24 balls.
After 15 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 104/5 ( Vijay Shankar 5 , Abdul Samad 0)
Two wickets in the same over for Rahul Chahar. Quite an ordinary outing for Virat Singh, just 11 off 12 balls and could not really get going thoughout the innings. New man in is another youngster Abhishek Sharma. Chahar starts off the over with a wicket and then two dots. That forces Abhishek to play a jail-break shot, a sweep and the top edge baloons into the air, Rohit could not reach the ball even with extension of both arms. But Abhishek does not survive for long, falls on the next ball, courtesy a one-hand catch from Milne. Just two off the over, and two wickets as well. SRH need 47 off 30.
After 14 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 102/3 ( Virat Singh 11 , Vijay Shankar 5)
Milne back on. The boundaries are hard to come by now for SRH since the departure of Warner. The SRH captain is looking tensed sitting across the ropes. 100 up for SRH and now someone needs to take the charge of scoring those boundaries. They need at least one per over from here. Just six off the over. SRH need 49 off 36 balls.
After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 96/3 ( Virat Singh 9 , Vijay Shankar 3)
Chahar continues. Virat works the ball to the leg side for a single. Shankar plays a dot before collecting a single. Two dots in the over, MI will be looking to increase the number of dots and get the required rate up. Four off the over. SRH need 55 runs off 42 balls.
After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 92/3 ( Virat Singh 7 , Vijay Shankar 1)
Alright, the momentum seem to be changing. Warner gone and two new batters in the middle as Vijay Shankar joins Virat in the middle. Hardik Pandya with a stunning throw in one motion from point has done the job for MI. SRH need 59 off 58.
OUT! Big moment in the game as Warner has fallen short of the crease at the striker’s end. Virat tapped the ball to point and Warner called for a run, he took off from the other end but could not reach in time. Hardik’s throw reached before him and hit the stumps. Brilliant fielding.
Warner run out (Hardik Pandya) 36(34)
After 11 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 85/2 ( David Warner (C) 35 , Virat Singh 2)
Warner welcomes Rahul Chahar in the new over with a six off the first ball. What a hit, came straight out of the middle of the bat and cleanly hit. Virat looked hurried up on the first ball he faced from Chahar. Sweeps his way out off the next for a single to rotate the strike. Warner is looking to run hard in the middle so extra pressure on Virat to keep up with the skipper. 11 off the over.
After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 74/2 ( David Warner (C) 26 , Virat Singh 1)
Kieron Pollard, right-arm medium, comes into the attack. Guess Rohit wants to take the pace off the ball in these middle overs. We are halfway into the chase and SRH despite losing two wickets still have their nose ahead. They need 77 off 60 balls.
After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 71/2 ( David Warner (C) 24 , )
Rahul Chahar, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack and delivers. Removed Manish Pandey who was under pressure to play with a decent Striker Rate and has perished trying to play the big shot early on in the innings. Virat Singh has joined Warner.
Here’s an interesting little stat on Bairstow’s dismissal
Finally Mumbai Indians managed to take a wicket against Sunrisers after conceding 218 runs in 24.3 overs!

Warner and Saha had added 151 runs without being separated at Sharjah in IPL2020 in the last match between these two sides.#MIvSRH #SRHvMI
After 8 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 68/1 ( David Warner (C) 23 , Manish Pandey 1)
Krunal into the attack again and he has a wicket. That was a weird way to get out. Threw his wicket away by getting too deep in his crease. Manish Pandey has joined Warner in the middle. Mumbai a little relieved seeing the back of Bairstow who smashed 43 off just 22 balls. SRH need 83 off 72 balls.
After 7 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 67/0 ( David Warner (C) 23 , Jonny Bairstow (W) 43)
Milne returns to the attack. No run off the first ball. Cuts the seaming in second delivery for a single down to third man. Later in the over, gets a half-tracker from Milne and he slams it over deep mid-wicket for six runs. The sound off the bat echoed all over Chepauk. 10 off the over.
Could single-handedly win the game for SRH tonight!
Great start. Bairstow has made it easier for everyone else. Couldn't have asked for more in the power play

After 6 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 57/0 ( David Warner (C) 15 , Jonny Bairstow (W) 41)
Bumrah returns and the move was always on the cards as Rohit needs wickets. He always turns to his go-to man. Just 2 off the over and no wicket. Both teams go into the strategic time out. End of the powerplay.
Jonny Bairstow’s SR PP overs in IPL:
2019 : 149.2
2020 : 117.9
2021 : 187.5
Overall : 137.1
