Sunrisers Hyderabad extended their winning run this season with an one-wicket win over Mumbai Indians.
Sent in to bat first, Mumbai kept losing wickets and could manage a modest total of 147 for 8. In reply, the Sunrisers were off to a bright start. Their openers added 62 runs in just 6.5 overs. However, the game turned on its head after young leg-spinner Mayank Markande bagged a 4-wicket haul. The game was eventually decided on the final ball with Billy Stanlake’s single sealing the game for the Sunrisers.
With the game now done and dusted, here is a look at some interesting numbers.
1. This is only the third instance of a team winning a match by 1 wicket in IPL. The other two teams to win by such margins are Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings.
