Cameron Green scored a magnificent unbeaten 64 as Mumbai Indians beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 14 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
After being asked to bat first, openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan got Mumbai Indians off to a steady start. The duo put on 41 for the opening wicket before the former was caught at mid off by Aiden Markram off T Natarajan for 28.
Kishan along with Suryakumar Yadav added 46 runs for the second wicket before Markram took a brilliant catch running back from mid off to dismiss the former for 38.
Suryakumar then fell to a magnificent running catch by skipper Markram off Jansen for 7. Green and Tilak Varma added 56 runs for the fourth wicket before the latter mistimed a knuckle delivery from Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mayank Agarwal at deep cover for 37.
Australian all rounder Green remained unbeaten on 64 off just 40 balls, as Mumbai Indians ended up with an impressive total of 192/5 in their 20 overs.
Chasing 193, Sunrisers got off to a poor start as Harry Brook perished for 9, top-edging a short ball from Jason Behrendorff to Yadav at cover-point.
Rahul Tripathi (7) also fell to Behrendorff, caught behind as he tried to run a ball down to third man.
The pair of Mayank Agarwal and Aiden Markram added 46 for the third wicket before the latter perished to Green for 22.
Abhishek Sharma was then caught at long off by Tim David off Piyush Chawla for 1.
Heinrich Klaasen provided SRH a much needed momentum by smashing Chawla for 2 fours and 2 sixes in the 14th over. However the leg spinner hit back by dismissing Klaasen (36) caught while attempting a big hit.
With 20 needed off the final over, Arjun Tendulkar bowled a fantastic final over by conceding just 5 runs, as the Sunrisers were bowled out for 178 runs in 19.5 overs, thereby losing by 14 runs.
Mumbai Indians 192/5 (Green 64*, Kishan 38, Tilak Varma 37, Jansen 2-43) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 178 (Agarwal 48, Klaasen 36, Meredith 2-33, Behrendorff 2-37, Chawla 2-43) by 14 runs
