MI’s wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan faced a setback in the 55th match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Wankhede Stadium. Despite opening the batting for MI in pursuit of SRH’s challenging score of 173, Ishan Kishan’s innings was short-lived. The turning point occurred during the second over of MI’s innings when Ishan Kishan fell prey to SRH’s Marco Jansen.
In an attempt to assert dominance, Kishan attempted a big shot but unfortunately mistimed his shot, resulting in an early dismissal. Marco Jansen delivered a well-directed delivery, tempting Kishan into a flick shot. However, Kishan’s execution was flawed, leading to a miscue that sent the ball flying to the first slip, where it was safely caught.

This exceptional delivery from Jansen left Ishan Kishan completely baffled. As of the latest update, MI found themselves struggling at 31 for 3 in just 5 overs. With Tilak Varma and Surya Kumar Yadav at the crease, MI faced an uphill battle to chase down the target set by SRH.
Despite the setback, MI’s innings was far from over, and the team remained hopeful of a successful chase with their remaining batsmen yet to showcase their prowess at the crease.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad innings comes to a close with a score of 173 for 8 wickets, a total that seemed far-fetched at one point during their batting display. While the wicket itself might be on the slower side, the compact dimensions of the Mumbai Indians’ home ground, the Wankhede Stadium, come into play. This raises a crucial question: will dew play a significant role in the upcoming chase? We’ll have to wait and see how the conditions change as the night progresses.

Earlier in the innings, SRH found themselves in a precarious position, and the Mumbai Indians’ bowling attack threatened to restrict them to a score of 150 or even lower. However, a spirited batting performance in the last three overs saw them add crucial runs and post a more respectable total. Our very own stats team member, Sampath, couldn’t help but make a lighthearted observation, jokingly suggesting that SRH managed to add an extra 50 runs “just in case” that scenario actually materialized.
