Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad locked horns in their last league match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The hosts’ skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and asked SRH to bat first at probably a batting-supportive turf of the Wankhede Stadium. Batting first, Aiden Markram’s men managed to post a big total of 200 runs for the loss of five wickets in the first 20 overs of the game.

Later on, the five-time champions Mumbai Indians comfortably chased down the total and won the match by a massive margin of eight wickets. With this win, MI have also strengthened their chances to secure their place in the playoffs of the current season as RCB and GT are yet to play the last league match of this season at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

The fans were also elated and ecstatic following this comprehensive win of Mumbai Indians against SRH in the last group match at the home ground Wankhede Stadium. Fans immediately took to Twitter and came up with a lot of interesting reactions and responses to MI’s win to make their contention very strong to qualify in the playoff stage of the tournament.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Talking about the entire action of the match between MI and SRH, the visitors’ opening pair of Vivrant Sharma and Mayank Agarwal stitched a brilliant opening partnership of 140 runs for the first wicket in 13.5 overs. Vivrant scored 69 runs with nine fours and two sixes to his name whereas, Mayank Agarwal contributed with an amazing knock of 83 runs off just 46 balls with eight boundaries and four sixes with the wood. On the back of these knocks, SRH posted a good total of 200 runs in the first 20 overs of the game.

Akash Madhwal scalped four wickets for MI alongside one wicket claimed by Chris Jordan. While chasing the target, Mumbai Indians comfortably chased down the total and crossed the line in 18 overs to win the match by a big margin of eight wickets scoring 201 runs for the loss of only two wickets. The young number three batter Cameron Green smashed a swashbuckling century and scored 100 runs off just 47 balls with eight fours and the same number of sixes to his name. Other than him, skipper Rohit Sharma also played a 56-run knock with eight boundaries and a six on his credit.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mayank Dagar were the only bowlers for SRH to scalp one wicket each to their names.
