Naman Dheer and Tilak Verma thrashed the Hyderabad bowlers to keep MI chasing the big target. But started hitting sixes continuously. In the tenth over, Tilak scooped, switch-hit and hit three sixes off Shahbaz, then completed his half-century in 24 balls by hitting a four off Jaydev Unadkat through extra cover. 84 off 37 balls for the third wicket. The run partnership ended when Dheer slashed Unadkat’s ball straight to extra cover. After this, Tilak and Hardik Pandya hit three fours, but Tilak was dodged by Cummins’ slow ball and was caught out at long-on. Mumbai Indians played 20 balls without any boundary, before which Tim David flicked, slashed. And hit one four and two sixes on Bhuvneshwar’s ball. David hit a six and a four off Unadkat. Impact player Romario Shepherd hit a six and two fours in the final over, but it was not enough to deny Hyderabad a win in an absolute run-fest of that match.
