Trent Boult is the Man of the Match for his spell 4-28-2.
Rohit Sharma: "The wicket looked good but it was slightly on the slower side so getting past 200 was a great effort. We didn't have any total in mind. We back our bowlers to do the job. And that's what they did. I definitely missed out, but again you try your best whenever you have the opportunity. Great effort from the boys to put those runs on the board. We decide the middle order depending on how the game is going. Match-ups, match situation etc. It is great to have three power hitters. Today Krunal also showed his value."
David Warner: "Looking at the stats, their two experienced bowlers bowled well in the middle overs. That wicket during the day is a little bit slower. It was holding up a fraction. Obviously, 209 on the board, we tried to go 10 an over, but we couldn't get a partnerhsip strung together long enough."
A good win for Mumbai Indians.
Mumbai Indians produced a good allround display on the field today. They batted well to pose a total of 208, with QDK and Krunal firing at the right momemnts. With the ball, they stuck to their plan and and never let SRH take control the chase, except when Bairstow was batting. Warner played well for his 60, but in the end he ran out of partners. All in all, a good win for Mumbai Indians. Sunrisers Hyderabad need to work on their bowling.
This is some stat!

Toss coming up shortly. Bat first and pose a big score, or chase in the small ground? Well, today's match is being played on a used pitch. The teams can factor that in.
Head to head stats:
Matches played:14
Mumbai Indians:7
Sunrisers Hyderabad:7
Jasprit Bumrah has been inconsistent so far in IPL 2020. But he is one of the best in business. Will he be able to overcome the Sharjah challenge and show his true ability today?
Rashid Khan has been the main bowler for SRH so far. And Sharjah is known as the death bed for bowlers. Will he be able to contain the big-hitter of MI?
SRH Opportunities: Warner could try out Kane Williamson as an opener. If Bairstow is rested, Mohammad Nabi, Fabian Allen or Jason Holder could be given a game.
Mumbai Indians' Opportunities: Rohit Sharma could use Chris Lynn to open the batting with him. Lynn is an explosive batsman and it would give Quinton de Kock a break.

Deccan Herald’s Dream XI
Rohit Sharma, David Warner, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Rashid Khan, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, T Natarajan, Khaleel Ahmed
SRH's weaknesses
The failure of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow to get big partnerships. The middle-order is talented and full of youthful confidence. Against a quality MI pace attack, however, Warner and Bairstow need to take up the scoring responsibility.
SRH strengths
The core of Indian players are standing up when the overseas ones are failing. Manish Pandey, Priyam Garg, T Natarajan, Abdul Samad and Abhishek Sharma have made valuable contributions with the bat and the ball. They have been good in the field too.
Mumbai Indians' weaknesses
Hardik Pandya is not bowling at all but MI have been able to cover for that so far. Will this be able to continue? Yes, since MI have the resources to use Hardik as a pure batsman.
Mumbai Indians' strengths
The bowling is working for MI. Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, James Pattinson and Jasprit Bumrah have all been amongst the wickets. They all have an economy under 9 and no one is averaging over 30.00. The economy and average highlight the discipline of the bowlers.
