IPL 2019
Match 19: Mumbai Indians Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
How Mumbai defend such an unbelievable low score???
Last year Sunrisers successfully defend lot of low scoring with their extra ordinary bowling attack. This year also they have the same balanced bowling attack except a change Bairstow is there in the place of Dhawan and Bhuvi took response as a captain. But yesterday night it happens in reverse Sunrisers lost to Mumbai by chasing a less target of 137 runs at their home. Eventhough SRH having the best openers in this season. Mumbai doesnt have that much powerful attack when compared to SRH still they defend that total. Here is how they controlled SRH batsmen.
As everyone expected SRH bowlers did their job perfect by controlling MI batsmen. Once again Rohit Sharma failed to shine as opener. Rohit has to be careful because he is going to open the innings for team India in ICC world cup. One more exceptional spell from Mohammed Nabi at powerplay and Siddharth Kaul supported him very well. MI batsmen losing wickets in regular interval. Until Hardik and Pollard build some partnership. Finally pollard showed some Carribean fireworks at Hyderabad and MI finished the innings with 136 runs for 7 wickets at the end of 20 overs. Rashid Khan and Nabi bowled many unplayable deliveries.
Everyone thought this wasn't sufficient for Warner and Bairstow but here only Rohit proved him that he is captain of 3 time title winners. A master stroke was they left malinga and picked west indian young bowler Alzarri Joseph. He completely collapsed the SRH batting lineup. The Orange cap holder Warner bowled in Joseph over for just 15 runs. Dangerous Bairstow went to pavilion for 16 runs. One more time Manish Pandey wasted his opportunity and Vijay Shankar played unnecessary shot at wrong time. When two main wickets has down he has to build a partnership by rotating singles with Manish. But both failed, moreover he got and life from pollard. Last match pollard took raina was a stunning one but this time he failed to take a easy catch in his hand.
Still dont know for what purpose SRH keeping Yusuf pathan in squad. He lost his wicket for none. Deepak Hooda fighting from one end. But he didnt get any support from other end batsman. Expected Nabi and rashid went quickly. On that stage itself SRH lost that match. Once again Alzarri Joseph came and took all the tail enders without giving interval. SRH all out for 96 runs and Mumbai won the match by 40 runs. Joseph finished his debut IPL match with a record, yes he broke Sohail tanvir record of 6 for 14 runs in the first season of IPL against CSK. Joseph took same 6 wickets for just 12 runs.
The 22 year old Joseph completely steals the match from SRH. Somehow Mumbai exposed the weakness of SRH. Yes, Mostly in all the matches warner and Bairstow batted maximum overs so remaining batsman didnt get much opportunity to get bat. That reflects in this match. The biggest mistake is the absence of Kane Williamson. No other batsman in the team will keep wicket and increase run rate as like as KANE. In next match SRH has to do something in middle order by promoting Deepak hooda before manish and have to try local batsman like Srivatsa and Abhishek or Shakib in place of Yusuf Pathan. But the reality is they doesnt have any players to replace manish and yusuf pathan. If the opponent has took both SRH openers early. Again the same type of innings we can expect from SRH.
