Presentation coming up...

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is up for a chat! He says that he was just trying to bowl yorkers at the backend. Adds that he was aware about the bigger boundaries on the leg side so he bowled accordingly. Tells that he is quite satisfied about his bowling and he always tries to be economical. On being asked about Umran Malik, he says that he is a raw talent and credits Hyderabad's management for backing a talent like Malik.

Rohit Sharma, the losing skipper says that they were very much in the game till the 18th over. Adds that 19 runs from 12 balls were very much gettable but they failed to deliver. Tells that they wanted to try some players in this game but applauds Hyderabad by saying that they batted really well. Mentions that they pulled things back well with the ball. Says that they will look to give it their all in the last game and they will also try some more players in the last game.

Hyderabad will be relieved as they are still in the race for playoffs! The victory didn't come easy for them and it was due to some excellent bowling, in the end, that helped them find the victory. Umran Malik showed his brilliance again as after going for 17 runs in his first over, he came back brilliantly and took three wickets in his next two. T Natarajan though almost cost them the game at the backend but Bhuvneshwar Kumar covered it well and eventually, they got the job done.

Mumbai were off to a superb start as both openers finally stitched a partnership in this competition. The 95-run stand meant Mumbai boss the first half but both fell in quick succession and suddenly Mumbai were reeling at 127 for 4. It was David who kept the hopes alive and boy, he brought his team near the line but a small margin of error from him and he lost his wicket and ultimately Mumbai failed to chase the total down.

The last ball off the 18th over won the game for Hyderabad. Tim David's wicket was the turning point and credit to Hyderabad for keeping their nerves later as well. 19 runs were needed off the last two overs and you back the batting side but Bhuvneshwar Kumar came up with a wicket-maiden over and that helped them cross the line.

What a game! What an entertaining game of cricket this was! And surely, Tim David had the game in his palms but his wicket changed the fortunes for Mumbai! Hyderabad will be relieved as a win means they keep their playoffs hope alive.
