Mumbai Indians prevailed over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Super Over to qualify for the IPL playoffs in Mumbai on Thursday, the win propelling them to the second position in the pecking order.Opting to bat, Mumbai Indians scored 162 for five in the allotted 20 overs, and then, saw SRH end their innings at the same score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Needing nine to win in the Super\n Over, Hardik Pandya hammered Rashid Khan for a six over long off in the\n first ball and then Kieron Pollard took the side home with three balls \nto spare. Sunrisers Hyderabad had managed 8\/2 in the one-over \neliminator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mumbai have 16 points from 13 outings and have a game\n left on Sunday against Kolkata Knight Riders, while Sunrisers Hyderabad\n are placed fourth with 12 points.Hyderabad needed 17 runs off the last \nover and the equation was brought down to seven by the time Hardik \nbraced up to bowl the final delivery. But Manish Pandey carted the \nall-rounder over long-on for a six to bring the scores level and force a\n Super Over, a first at the Wankhede Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chasing 163, \nHyderabad needed 41 runs from 18 balls, but Malinga (0-37) conceded 12 \nruns as the equation was brought down to 29 runs off 12 balls.Then \nBumrah (2-31) gave 12 runs in the penultimate over, with Manish Pandey \nhitting two fours.Earlier, Quinton de Kock\u2019s unbeaten 69 took the hosts \nto a respectable total on a difficult pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the visitors, \nthe chase began with Wriddhiman Saha and Martin Guptill adding 40 for \nthe first wicket. But Saha was sent back by Bumrah.Then Pandey and Vijay\n Shankar tried to rally the innings with a 33-run stand, but Krunal \nstruck again in the 14th over, sending Shankar back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hardik \nstruck in the first over when Abhishek Sharma edged to keeper De Kock, \nafter which Hyderabad were almost out of the contest. But Mohammed Nabi \nand Pandey brought the visitors back.Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers dished \nout a clinical performance to restrict Mumbai Indians to 162 for \nfive.The Sunrisers, led by pacer Khaleel Ahmed (3-42), pegged Mumbai \nback after Rohit Sharma decided to bat. He was ably supported by the \nAfghan spin duo of Rashid Khan (0-21), Mohammed Nabi (1-24) and \nBhuvneshwar Kumar (1-29), while Basil Thampi (0-40) had an off day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\n late cameo from Krunal Pandya (9 not out off 3 balls) ensured Mumbai at\n least crossed the 160-run mark. De Kock, who hammered 6 fours and 2 \nsixes in his 58 ball-knock, lacked support from the other end.He along \nwith Suryakumar Yadav (23 off 17 balls) tried to rally the Mumbai \ninnings with a 54-run stand for the second wicket after a well-settled \nRohit Sharma (24) departed in the sixth over.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
