SRH vs MI, IPL 2018, Match 7

SRH, opting to bowl without injured Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the side, handed a debut to Sandeep Sharma. For MI, Pradeep Sangwan came in for an injured Hardik Pandya while Mitchell McClenaghan was dropped for Ben Cutting.

Shakib Al Hasan took a smart catch to trigger another early dismissal for Rohit Sharma, who was dropped by Deepak Hooda off Sandeep Sharma's bowling.

Siddarth Kaul dismissed Ishan Kishan and Evin Lewis in an over just as Mumbai Indians were looking to recover from Rohit Sharma's early loss.

Rashid Khan kept the middle overs tight, and delivered the most number of dot balls (18) by a bowler in an IPL game.

Once Kieron Pollard fell to Billy Stanlake in the 15th over, Suryakumar Yadav was MI's sole chance at a big finish.

Sandeep Sharma then struck gold with a knuckle ball of his own, picking out the big wicket of Suryakumar Yadav.

Mumbai finished with just 147/8 in 20 overs. The chief architect was Siddarth Kaul, who was also awarded the Purple Cap for topping the wickets charts of the season.

Shikhar Dhawan whistled off the chase in his typically aggressive way, scoring 45 off 28 before falling to leg spinner Mayank Markande.

Mayank Markande's spell of 4/23 arrived out of nowhere, accounting for the wickets of Wriddhiman Saha, Shikhar Dhawan, Manish Pandey and Shakib Al Hasan in a whirlwind.

With 15 needed off 3 overs, Jasprit Bumrah struck twice in the eighteenth over, accounting for Yusuf Pathan and Rashid Khan.

Mustafizur Rahman then followed up with another two-wicket over, that saw Siddarth Kaul and Sandeep Sharma's departures, leaving SRH with just one wicket in hand.

With 11 needed off the final over, Deepak Hooda hit Ben Cutting for a first-ball six and Billy Stanlake then got SRH over the line off the last ball of the match.
