IPL 2021 MI vs SRH LIVE: Mumbai Indians Win By 13 Runs, Sunrisers Lose 3 On Trot
Sunrisers Hyderabad is in all sorts of trouble as they lose three matches in a row. Mumbai Indians won by 13 runs. MI bowled well overall to register a tricky win against SRH. Kieron Pollard was adjudged Man of the Match for his late hitting and also a bit of disciplined bowling. It was the same story, yet again for Sunrisers as they fail to register a win at the Chepauk, Chennai.
Boult Finishes off the tail easily!
Just 5 runs given of the 19th over and a wicket of Vijay Shankar! Jasprit Bumrah is a class apart.

Rahul Chahar dismisses Manish Pandey off a nicely tossed-up delivery.

One of the rarest dismissals in cricket. Perhaps, that was the only way the MI bowlers could have had him tonight. He played brilliantly for his 43 (22) which included four 6s and three 4s.
Big blow for SRH.
SRH - 67/1 (7.4 overs)
David Warner gets into the act now. They seem to be targeting Adam Milne here.
Six!
67/0 after 7 overs.
SRH - 57/0
Bairstow - 41 (18) is batting exeptionally well.
Jonny Bairstow dislodges Adam Milne for two huge sixes.
An appeal for caught behind prompted Rohit to ask for a review. Nonetheless, no bat was involved and Bairstow was safe.
Bumrah continues...
Trent Boult bowled a brilliant over until the last ball went for an extra run from the overthrow.
Nonetheless, SRH, 2/0 after 1.
Trent Boult bowls the first ball to David Warner.
Three dot balls to begin with!
Vijay Shankar says, "I just tried to take the pace off. With the new ball, it was coming on nicely to the bat, we just had a plan of taking the pace off as much as we can. There was good pace and it was also sitting up nicely when we were bowling at normal speed."
He was speaking after the innings ended.
His figures - 2/19 (3 overs)
What a finish to the show by Kieron Pollard!

Rashid Khan into the attack! What a bowling side this is!
On the stroke of time-out, Mumbai Indians struggle to find the middle of the bat.
After the departure of Rohit Sharma, it has been a downward spiral for the team in blue. Ishan Kishan is batting on 9 from 16 balls while Pollard who has just come in hasn't found the middle in the five balls he has faced.
Mumbai Indians - 101/3 (15 overs)
Mujeeb picks up his first wicket as SRH player.
de Kock departs after scoring a struggling 40 in 39 balls.
Kieron Pollard in next!
Mumbai Indians - 92/2 (13 overs)
Quinton de Kock looks very frustrated at the crease. He has so far made 38 in 36 balls.
He is not been able to get going at all today. Much of it also goes to the fact that it is difficult to score on this Chennai wicket.
Quinton de Kock was dropped by Rashid Khan after he pulled on off Vijay Shankar! He was playing on 35.
Will that be costly in the larger context of this game?
Reverse swept for four!
Quinton de Kock smashes Rashid Khan for a 4!
Rashid Khan, the master of operating in the middle overs in T20s is at it again.
He completed his two overs and has given away only eight runs.
Mumbai Indias: 75/2 (10 overs)
Sunrisers Hyderabad picked up yet another wicket. This time, the talented and dangerous Suryakumar Yadav. He goes for 10 (6).

Perhaps he forgot the four changes in SRH side.
Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first in Chennai.
Background
IPL 2021: Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium will perhaps host two of the strongest teams in the Indian Premier League (at least on paper). Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians will play the Match-9 of IPL 2021. The difference between the two teams is of a victory. MI has won 1 and lost 1 of their two matches so far while SRH has lost both their matches. Both of these matches were close encounters that could have been won easily by SRH.
The IPL is still at a stage when all the teams are trying to find that one perfect playing XI. SRH is also figuring out their best playing XI. They left Kane Williamson out of the playing XI in the first two matches. In this match, it is expected that Williamson would make his way in the team. Perhaps, Jonny Bairstow or Jason Holder could be the players who could be the ones seeing the exit door from the playing XI for SRH.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, look solid as ever. They might make some changes in the bowling line-up and De Kock may play in tandem with Chris Lynn. But apart from these two, there won't be many changes in the MI side.
The toss would take place at 7 pm IST.
