Wow! What a thrilling contest it was! Mumbai Indians (MI) have qualified for the playoffs with a superb win in the super over against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Wankhede stadium on Thursday.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled a brilliant super over to restrict the visitors for just eight runs and then Hardik Pandya’s six off the first ball delivered by Rashid Khan just killed the game.
However, full credit goes to Manish Pandey who first tied the game with a last ball six and took it to the super over. He remained unbeaten on 71 off just 47 balls.
But Pandey’s heroics went in vain as MI proved to be good in the super over and then snatched victory eventually to qualify for the playoffs.
Brief scores:
Mumbai Indians: 162/5 in 20 overs (Quinton de Kock 67 not out; K Khaleel Ahmed 3/42).
SunRisers Hyderabad: 162/6 in 20 overs (Manish Pandey 71 not out; Krunal Pandya 2/22).
Super over score: Mumbai Indians (9/0) defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad (8/2).

Very well played by Hardik. One big shot and a single allowed Pollard to just knock it and close it. @mipaltan into the play offs and @SunRisers now in that last week scramble. Anyone between KKR SRH KXIP can make it now.

Taut game, among best I’ve seen. Hyderabad couldn’t make capital of opportunity created by Pandey. Credit to Bumrah. Tight over under pressure. However, getting even 8-10 runs in Super Over can be tough. @mipaltan hold nerve to make it to the play-offs. Well done Rohit & Co

Jasprit Bumrah is the Man of the Match. He bowled the tough overs during the actual game and also the Super Over, where he conceded only 8 runs. #MIvSRH #IPL2019 pic.twitter.com/NHPERUChMa

Super Overs are never easy. But batsmen must NOT run themselves out on 1st ball of the over! Because the next batsman has no freedom to play the rest of the over. It’s a fine line.. but do not run yourself out! #SelectDugout @StarSportsIndia #MIvSRH
