XtraTime Web Desk: Mumbai Indians bowler Jasprit Bumrah brought out his best as he restricted the Sunrisers Hyderabad to only 8 runs in the Super Over to set the platform for a easy victory for the home team in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2019) match at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. The win takes Mumbai Indians to the second spot in the table with 16 points from 13 matches. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Manish Pandey played a scintillating knock (71 runs of 47 balls) along with a late cameo from Mohammad Nabi (31 runs off 20 balls) ensured the match to go into the Super Over. But Pandey was run out of the first ball of the Super Over trying to steal a second run. Martin Guptill took a run of the second ball to bring Nabi on strike. He pulled the third ball for a six. Bumrah produced a deadly yorker that crushed onto the stumps to set Mumbai a victory target of only 9 runs. Hardik Pandya started the chase with a six and took a single to let Kieron Pollard do the rest. “Sometimes the mind can get too negative, but I would like to focus on the ball which I have to bowl and try to keep clarity. If you are clear about the ball you are going to execute and you set the field accordingly and try to keep it as simple as possible. There's always pressure but I think what the team requires of me, so I'm just thinking one ball at a time and what I have to do on that particular ball. In the end, it's your own decision because if you back your own decision that's the best way to go and going forward backing yourself is always helping,” said Bumrah during the post match ceremony. Earlier opting to bat first, Mumbai Indians scored 162 for five in the allotted 20 overs, Quinton de Kock was the top scorer with 69 runs. In reply, Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to level the score thanks to a last ball six from Manish Pandey off Hardik Pandya.
