IPL Highlights, SRH vs MI: Hyderabad Beat Mumbai In A Thrilling Contest
IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians, highlights: The Kane Williamson-led team registered their second win of the season.
Sunrisers Hyderabad held their nerves to edge out Mumbai Indians by one wicket off the last ball of the match in a thrilling IPL encounter at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday. Hyderabad's No 11 Billy Stanlake lofted Ben Cutting's last delivery of the 20th over to eke out their second win of the tournament as Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians slipped to their second defeat in successive matches. Chasing a modest target of 148, Hyderabad were cruising along at 73 for 1 before an inexplicable batting collapse left them staring at defeat. It was young Deepak Hooda's composed 32 off 25 balls that proved to be precious in the final context of the match. Hooda hit Cutting's first delivery off the final over for a six to ease off the pressure with Stanlake holding fort at the other end. (Scorecard)

SRH vs MI Highlights
We're done with this game. Another heartbreaking loss for the defending champions and their campaign is yet to take off. Hyderabad, on the other hand, will be pleased after winning tonight but they should have never let this game go this deep. Next up, Bangalore will be hosting Punjab on Friday at 2000 IST (1430 GMT). We look forward to your company then. Cheers!
Rashid Khan is chosen for the Man of the Match award. His bowling figures were mind-boggling tonight. He was as miserly as Uncle Scrooge as he gave away only 13 runs in his 4 overs and also bagged the wicket of the big-hitting Ben Cutting at a crucial juncture. An award well-deserved by the Afghan.
The young Mumbai leggie was once again on song with his variations and foxed the batsmen with his guile. He hunted down four wickets and gave a sniff to his team. They kept picking wickets but failed to stop the flow of runs. The asking run rate was never an issue for the hosts but a few reckless shots from their batsmen made it uncomfortable for them. The Mumbai bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and Mustafizur Rahman in particular, gave it their all towards the end but the visiting team still failed to cross the line. A word of praise for Deepak Hooda who held his calm amidst all the pressure and then Billy Stanlake finished things off with a big blow. For Mumbai, once again it was a case of so near yet so far. A close loss again will be hurting.
An excellent game of cricket we have just witnessed. It went right down to the wire and in the end, it was Hyderabad who tasted their second win of the season. To be honest, they made a mountain out of a molehill. The chase was always under their control after a power-packed beginning in the Powerplay. Shikhar Dhawan was in his elements and Wriddhiman Saha also played his part. The hosts were cruising at one stage but suddenly hit a roadblock once Mayank Markande was introduced.
FOUR! BILLY STANLAKE, YOU BEAUTY! The giant of a batsman swings his big bat across the line, gets one in his half and lofts it over mid-wicket. It falls safely and races away to the fence. Smiles all around in the Hyderabad camp, the crowd has gone mad. What a game! What a finish! HYDERABAD WIN BY 1 WICKET!
1 needed from 1 ball! Super over anybody? It is Billy Stanlake who is on strike. The fielders come in. The keeper has taken off his right glove. Here we go...
In the air, safffeee! Slower one, on the shorter side, Hooda fails to middle his pull shot. It goes off the top edge to short fine leg, Bumrah runs forward but it falls short of him. They take a run.
Rohit having a chat with his bowler. Long on, deep mid-wicket, deep cover in place.
Slower length ball on middle and leg, Stanlake taps it down to mid-wicket and crosses for a quick single. Rohit attacks the ball but fails to pick it up. 2 needed off 2 balls.
Field comes up a bit for Stanlake. Three fielders on the off side inside the ring.
