SRH vs MI Highlights and Match Recap, IPL 2019, Full cricket score: Alzarri Joseph bowls Mumbai Indians to 40-run win

Alzarri Joseph is Player of the Match (That was too obvious):

It’s a dream start. I was trying to back myself and bowl to the plans. I was told to keep it simple, bowl to my plans. I knew we had a game to win and I focussed just on that. The boys are playing well and putting in the hardwork.

Incredible feat this!

Alzarri Joseph’s bowling figures of 6 for 12 are the best bowling figures in the history of the Indian Premier League. An astonishing bowling performance has taken MI to a spectacular victory. @SunRisers @mipaltan #IPL #SRHvMI

OUT! He’s done it, Joseph gets his sixth wicket. 

MI win by 40 runs. 

A fairytale debut for Joseph who has taken six wickets in this game. Madness in Hyderabad and the home team is absolutely shaken. This one pitched on good length and shaped away, taking the edge off Kaul’s bat, travelled to keeper. Incredible win for MI, who managed just 136 on the board and have won this by 40 runs. S Kaul c de Kock b Alzarri Joseph 0(1)

Massive moment for the youngster

Alzarri Joseph had first impressed as an under-19 cricketer. Now taking rapid strides at the top level. Bowled superbly tonite, picking up a fifer on debut. On a pitch where batting’s been difficult, Pollard’s contribution with bat must be acknowledged too

After 17 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 91/8 ( Bhuvneshwar Kumar (C) 2 , Siddarth Kaul 0)

Bumrah back on. Bowling in these last few overs has been a routine for him now. He knows what to do. Slower ones, yorkers. He does everything. Has removed Nabi. Mumbai inch closer to victory. Hyderabad need 46 runs in 18 balls.

After 16 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 89/7 ( Mohammad Nabi 11 , Bhuvneshwar Kumar (C) 0)

Joseph comes back on. This has been a brilliant show by debutant Joseph. He has given others a lesson or two on how to perform on an IPL debut. Four wickets, including the big one of Warner, for just 7 runs and he is not finished yet. Did not get his hat-trick but would be satisfied. He has been sharp, intelligent and athletic. Bhuvneshwar joins Nabi. They need 48 in 24 balls. Still achievable but momentum is with Mumbai.

After 15 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 84/5 ( Deepak Hooda 19 , Mohammad Nabi 11)

As expected, Bumrah back into the attack. Off-cutters are back in business. Typical of Bumrah as he starts his final spell of the night. Nabi gets six off the last ball and it was much-needed for SRH. Keeps them afloat in the game. But as history suggests, Bumrah will get better and better from here. Hyderabad need 53 runs in 30 balls.

After 14 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 76/5 ( Deepak Hooda 18 , Mohammad Nabi 4)

Chahar now finishes off. What a spell from him too. 21 runs in 4 overs and two wickets. More pressure on SRH after the end of 14th over. Boundaries are now hard to come. Bumrah will be back soon. He has three overs left. Hyderabad need 61 runs in 36 balls.

After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 73/5 ( Deepak Hooda 17 , Mohammad Nabi 2)

Behrendorff completes his quota and he bowled really well. 28 runs in his 4 overs and 1 wicket. Rohit Sharma should be happy with this wicket. Boundaries have dried up for SRH. Wickets continue to fall. A small chase has become an uphill task. They need 64 runs in 42 balls.

Nabi with the bat for SRH in IPL:

2017 : 2
2018 : 14, 4
2019 : 17*

After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 68/5 ( Deepak Hooda 13 , Mohammad Nabi 1)

Rahul Chahar strikes for MI. Pathan has perished and the middle-order of the home side has been exposed here. Chahar almost had another wicket in the over had Rohit Sharma been more alert and agile in the slips. Anyway, MI on top at the moment. Hyderabad need 69 runs in 48 balls.

After 11 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 61/4 ( Deepak Hooda 7 , Yusuf Pathan 0)

Behrendorff back on and he has delivered straightaway. Manish Pandey takes the long walk back. Great catch from Rohit. The ball travelled really fast to him and he managed to hold on to it. Yusuf Pathan joins Hooda in the middle. Very important innings for Pathan as well keeping in mind his recent form.

10-overs comparison:

MI : 52/3
SRH : 59/3

After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 59/3 ( Manish Pandey 15 , Deepak Hooda 6)

Krunal continues. He is bowling tight line and lengths. Manish Pandey and Hooda are usually slow starters and while Mumbai may take a breather here, they can’t let the two settle down. 5 run has come in this over. Hyderabad need 78 runs in 60 balls.

After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 54/3 ( Manish Pandey 11 , Deepak Hooda 5)

Pandya junior into the attack. SRH may have lost three key wickets but they are still in this. They need 83 runs in 66 balls. This is also an opportunity for their middle-order to come good in a stiff chase. We got into time-out.

After 8 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 47/3 ( Manish Pandey 6 , Deepak Hooda 3)

Krunal Pandya brought into the attack. MI have started off well and would the slow bowlers to continue the good work. Krunal has begun well. 4 off the over.

Hooda against MI in IPL:

32*, 9, 17*, 1, 13

After 7 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 43/3 ( Manish Pandey 4 , Deepak Hooda 1)

Joseph has removed Shamkar and SRH innings has been derailed a bit here. Joseph doing it easily here. What an IPL debut it is turning out to be.
