Alzarri Joseph claimed a tournament best figures of 6/12 on his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut as Mumbai Indians thrashed SunRisers Hyderabad by 40 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday. The 22-year-old Windies fast bowler broke the record of Pakistan bowler Sohail Tanvir, who claimed 6/14 in the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008. With this win, Mumbai Indians climbed to the fourth position with three wins in five matches. Earlier, Kieron Pollard's breathtaking cameo powered Mumbai Indians to a respectable 136 for seven in their allotted 20 overs. Pollard smashed an unbeaten knock of 46 runs off 26 balls with the help of two boundaries and four sixes. He remained the top-scorer for Mumbai Indians, who kept losing wickets at regular intervals after being asked to bat in Hyderabad. Fast bowler Siddarth Kaul was the wrecker-in-chief for SunRisers Hyderabad as he claimed two big wickets. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan chipped in with a wicket each as SunRisers Hyderabad kept Mumbai Indians under control throughout their innings. (SCORECARD)
