Hyderabad: A scintillating innings by opener Shikhar Dhawan inspired Sunrisers Hyderabad to beat Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets in their IPL 6 match at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.
Shikhar Dhawan reached his half-century as he and Hanuma Vihari put up a swift partnership to lead the Hyderabad chase in their IPL 6 match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Dhawan reached his fifty in 40 balls with the help of 6 boundaries and a lone six and it came at a time when Hyderabad's chase of 130 suffered a dent.
Dhawan and Vihari weaved a swift 50-plus run partnership to revive the chase right after Harbhajan Singh scalped Kumar Sangakkara.
Sangakkara (21) was left bamboozled when Harbhajan caught the Sri Lankan off his own bowling and thereby broke a growing partnership between the Hyderabad skipper and Shikhar Dhawan.
Sunrisers Hyderabad lost opener Akshath Reddy early to Mitchell Johnson.
Reddy (7) was caught at covers by Dwayne Smith off a short of length Johnson delivery thereby giving Mumbai their first breakthrough.
Earlier, a late unbeaten 50-run stand between Kieron Pollard and Ambati Rayudu helped Mumbai Indians reach 129/4 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Pollard (14* off 19) and Rayudu (34* off 27) helped Mumbai to crawl towards their final total after the visitors were jolted by some amazing bowling display by Amit Mishra and Ishant Sharma.
Mishra, who finished his quota of over with figures of 2/24 struck to dismiss Dwayne Smith and Rohit Sharma at a time when the duo was going steady and looked to do damage.
It was after Ishant struck twice for Sunrisers Hyderabad to dismiss Sachin Tendulkar and Dinesh Karthik that Smith and Rohit held their nerves and put up a steady 42-run partnership.
However, Mishra had other plans in mind when he scalped the duo in one over to leave the visitors reeling at 80/4 after 13 overs.
Mishra struck first to dismiss Rohit (22) when the Mumbai skipper was caught by Ishant, who made good on his dropped catch earlier in the match.
Soon after, Mishra caught Smith (38) plumb as the Mumbai batsman, who hit 3 boundaries and 2 sixes, failed in his attempt to sweep the ball.
Earlier, the Tendulkar-Smith duo put up a quick-fire 32 run stand for the opening wicket after Mumbai won the toss decided to bat against Hyderabad.
However, the party was short-lived when Ishant played wrecker-in-chief to dismiss Tendulkar (14) and Karthik (0) in one over.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians have won the toss and elected to bat.
The track, according to Rohit, looks a tad drier than normal. Sangakkara says he would have batted first.
Both teams are playing the same 11 as their last game.
