The in-form Mumbai Indians failed to emulate their recent form as Sunrisers Hyderabad’s spinners kept them under check throughout the innings. But it was Shikhar Dhawan who won the hearts of Twitterati by scoring a majestic half-century after SRH had lost their skipper early.
Shikhar Dhawan produced a composed 62-run innings to chase down Mumbai’s paltry total of 138 with 10 balls to spare. The win keeps Hyderabad on track to making the playoffs whereas, after the third loss of the season, Mumbai will now have to beat Kolkata to secure the top spot on the table.
Brief Scores: Mumbai Indians 138/7 (Rohit Sharma 67, Parthiv Patel 23; Siddarth Kaul 3/24, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/29) lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad 140/3 (Shikhar Dhawan 62, Moises Henriques 44; Jasprit Bumrah 3/24, Mitchell McClenaghan 1/26) by 7 wickets.
Here are the best tweets from the match:
The umpiring crisis continues…
One more instance of UMPIRE BLINDNESS. BCCI & IPL appear to carefully select visually handicapped as UMPIRES! Miserable tale!!

Poor umpiring continues. At least they can refer these decisions to 3rd ump. But NO, they will refer easy run outs

More criticism for umpires
😠😠 MI again. First Umpires save rohit and then cheat again by giving Warner out. 😠😠

We should have DRS in IPL..
— Dharmveer Singh (@ImDharmveer)
worst umpiring this year..
Sad to see batsman getting out or surviving with help of poor umpiring..
Not much he can do about that
Parthiv Patel is playing middle monkey 🐒 with the throws from the deep!

The reason behind Dhawan's form
Dhawan trying to justify his selection in the by scoring some 27-28 runs
— TheGoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala)Sharma & Dhawan showing why they were picked ahead of "some" of the so called IPL players. BCCI trolled crying twitter fans again 😁
— Apurva (@MaiYahanHoon)
DD fans be like
players right now...also the Dravid fan in me 😢
— urstrulyKajal (@BanarasiBasanti)
Not the best move
If Yuvraj is unfit then why did he come out to bat? To increase the required run rate? 🤔
— Waѕiyullah Budye (@WasiyullahB)
Not for the first for sure
Sanjay Manjrekar should apply a job with Mumbai Indians. Boring and biased commentary.
— Saurabh Gupta (@Saurabh_910)
Only one team showed up today
Looks like players have gone in to sleep mode 😴
— M (@R8isM)
its like MI are not even trying to win. All catches were catchable but none tried to catch. Didn't try hard to score runs either.
