HYDERABAD: After a string of poor scores, Cameron Green struck form when Mumbai Indians needed it the most as the five-time IPL champions pulled off a 14-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the RGIC Stadium, here on Tuesday night.
On a day when Hyderabad lost its former cricketer Abdul Azeem, who was the first player from South Zone to score a triple century in Ranji Trophy, to a kidney ailment, SRH suffered their third loss of the season out of five games to be stuck at the ninth position in the points table. MI moved to the sixth position.
Needing 193 for victory, Sunrisers didn't get the start they needed. Jason Behrendorff, who missed the last game due to a niggle, made early inroads to put the hosts on the backfoot. The left-arm pacer got rid of centurion Harry Brook (9) in his first over and then had Rahul Tripathi (7) in the next over to leave Sunrisers at 25 for two in the fourth over.
