SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) succumbed to their third consecutive loss in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 as they failed to return the bowling efforts and failed to chase down a modest target for the second time in a row. SRH’s meltdown against the Mumbai Indians (MI) was quite similar to the one they suffered against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Chennai, and a lot of credit for that goes to Rahul Chahar and Trent Boult.
However, the SunRisers’ renowned bowling attack pulled things back in the middle overs by picking wickets on a regular basis. Vijay Shankar removed Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, while Mujeeb Ur Rahman got the wickets of De Kock and Ishan Kishan. Kieron Pollard finished with a fiery knock of unbeaten 35 and provided the final flourish by striking two sixes, setting the SunRisers a competitive 151 to win.

During the chase, SRH started on a high as they made a change in their opening pair, getting Jonny Bairstow at the top with David Warner. The destructive duo managed to score as many as 67 runs in less than eight overs as they smashed Trent Boult and Adam Milne in the powerplay overs. Krunal Pandya began unlocking the game as Jonny Bairstow struck the stumps with his back leg.
