Earlier in the first innings, put in to bat, the Sunrisers failed to recover from the dreadful start, of being reduced to 46/4 inside the powerplay, with Shikhar Dhawan (5), Wriddhiman Saha (0), Manish Pandey (16) and Shakib Al Hasan (2) all back in the hut inside the first six overs.

Skipper Kane Williamson waged a lone battle with a fighting 21-ball 29, laced with five hits to the fence before veteran Baroda batsman Yusuf Pathan (29 off 33 balls; 4x2, 6x1) took on the mantle, despite losing his partners at regular intervals.

It was Mumbai's joint-lowest score in the IPL as Hyderabad defended the lowest total at the Wankhede to register their first win out of 7 matches at this stadium. Overall it was the second lowest total defended by a team in the league's history.

Mumbai, who are languishing in 7th place with 2 points, can afford one more loss before they fall out of the race to qualify for the play-offs. Hyderabad meanwhile occupy the third spot behind Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings.
