Hyderabad vs Mumbai Live Commentary, Match 55, Indian Premier League, 2021, October 8, 2021

MI 235/9 (20)
Mumbai Indians beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 42 runs
SRH 193/8 (20)
Match over
Mumbai Indians Inning Sunrisers Hyderabad Inning
0.0 : Hyderabad have had a tough tournament, winning just three games so far and now they would want to end the season on a high. They won their last game against Bangalore and also reduced their chances of ending in the top 2. Now, Williamson's men would look to spoil the party for Mumbai as well. Hyderabad lost a close game the last time they met in India. But got over the line quite easily when they last met Mumbai in UAE back in the 2020 season. Will they make any team changes? Will David Warner
This is also the first time that two games in the Indian T20 League will be played simultaneously! Abu Dhabi will see Hyderabad taking on Mumbai while Dubai will play host to the clash between Delhi and Bangalore. While the two teams in Dubai have qualified for the playoffs, Mumbai still have a slim chance. Hyderabad will be full of confidence after beating Bangalore and they would look to finish on a high.
... Game Day ...
A miracle! Yes, that is what Mumbai need to qualify! They are up against the odds in match 55 of the Indian T20 League. Mumbai need to beat Hyderabad by 170 runs or more to go above Kolkata on net run rate and if they chase, they will be eliminated. That looks pretty impossible right but in a league like this, we have seen plenty of unbelievable things and we just cannot rule out a miracle here at Abu Dhabi. All odds are stacked against Mumbai and it is likely that Mumbai won't qualify but we ca

Right then! 236 to win for Hyderabad to end their tournament on a high. It looks difficult and Mumbai would want to bundle them out below 65. An exciting chase coming up. Do join us in a while.
An excellent last over from Jason Holder but it has been a terrific batting performance from Mumbai! They needed this big time and they now have a chance of qualifying provided they win by more than 171 runs. They will be very pleased with the effort but it is still not going to be easy for them to bowl Hyderabad out but they need to believe. Hyderabad will need to bat out of their skins to chase this down.
Ishan Kishan is down for a chat, says that the intent was clear as they wanted to get around 250 runs. Adds that the plan was simple and they wanted to play their shots and not play selfish cricket. Says that opening the innings has been a good thing for him and he can play better like that. Informs that the wicket is a bit slow but still, a good wicket to bat on.
Hyderabad, on the other hand, were taken apart by Mumbai! Everybody who bowled was expensive. Jason Holder went for plenty, so did Siddarth Kaul. Umran Malik too received a beating. Rashid Khan had decent figures. Abhishek Sharma bowled just one over and he took 2 important wickets. Holder bowled a fine last over but they have a mountain to climb. Kolkata will hope that they cross 65 and help them qualify.
Mumbai were off to a terrific start as Ishan Kishan came out like a man on a mission. He raced to 84 in just 32 balls. Rohit Sharma looked good too. They did lose their way in the middle overs as they lost some wickets but Suryakumar Yadav came back to some form towards the final few overs. He hit the ball to all parts of the ground and took Mumbai to 235. They need to bowl Hyderabad out now for 65 or below to give themselves a chance to qualify.
... The Run Chase ...
We are back for the chase! Mumbai players are in a huddle. Jason Roy and Abhishek Sharma walk out to bat.
0.5 : Review time! Rohit Sharma has taken the review for LBW. No bat on that one. But the impact is umpire's call and the ball is going down the leg side.

We have our teams for the playoffs! The moment that Hyderabad crossed the 65-run mark, the Kolkata camp would have celebrated! Mumbai needed a lot of things to go their way in this game to qualify. First, they needed the toss to go their way and it did. Then, they needed to put on a big score on the board and they did that too. But, they needed to skittle out Hyderabad and that did not happen. The defending champions will not be making it to the playoffs this year!
Mumbai had a huge total on the board, but if they had to qualify for the Playoffs, they would have needed to bowl out Hyderabad for 65 or less. But, that did not happen as Hyderabad got off to a great start. But Mumbai started taking wickets and came back in the game. They took wickets at regular intervals and made sure that the required rate was climbing up at a steady rate. All the bowlers except for Krunal Pandya took wickets. James Neesham, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Jasprit Bumrah took 2 wic
Hyderabad had a mountain to climb and they had a great start at the top as Abhishek Sharma and Jason Roy got them off to a flier. But both the openers fell after getting a start. Abdul Samad and Mohammad Nabi did not make much of an impact and they were in a spot of bother. The required rate was climbing but Manish Pandey and Priyam Garg hit boundaries on a regular basis to make sure that they are still in the hunt. Garg fell for 29 and Jason Holder fell on a low score too. But Pandey wa
Manish Pandey, the Hyderabad skipper, says that it is a very hot day and it was really tough. Goes not say that he is struggling with his calf. States that this is probably the best surface they were playing on and they knew that Mumbai will come out all guns blazing. Adds that their bowlers gave a few extra runs and that cost them. Tells that they won only three games and they had some changes in the side and that did not work for them. Says that they struggled in India and they played better i
Suryakumar Yadav is down for a chat, he says that the show must go on and one must keep smiling. Adds that having a clear mindset and having nothing to lose helped them a lot. Says that the T20 WC is coming up and he is keeping the routines and processes the same for that.
