[Cloudbet]

- Quinton de Kock total: Over 23.5 (1.92)
- Sunrisers Hyderabad Total Runs after 10 overs: Under 72.5 (2.46)
- Total sixes: Under 13.5 (2.04)

I think I'm going to always bet on de Kock from now on. He hasn't let me down yet! 

The run rate seems a bit low compared to other MI games though, SH could be in with a chance if their batsmen step up.

I think you meant batting instead of betting(Lol).

LOL yeh my typo. I indeed meant batting.

I think I'm going to always bet on de Kock from now on. He hasn't let me down yet! 

Yeh, de Kock is still going strong. Seems like you are a luck one. With me my luck always play against me LOL

By the way, MI needs some quick run so that they can score at least over 160 runs. I am interested to see the chase from SRH without Bairstow.

[Haunebu]

SRH are pulling back the match brilliantly. They aren't leaking runs anymore. Their death bowling has improved a  lot at present. They restricted them to 162.

It remains to be seen how well they can bat without Warner and Bairstow to start for them.

[Vishnu.Reang]

OK... the first innings is over and SRH needs 163 to win the match. Kumar, Nabi and Rashid Khan all went for less than 7 runs per over. Excellent knock from de Kock for the Indians. For the SRH, Khaleel Ahmed bowled well, but even he went for over 10 runs an over. Basil Thampi had another horrible match, and it looks like he'll be in trouble during the next year's auctions.

My prediction: Win for SRH

I do not have enough confidence in SRH's middle order. If Warner performs then this will be an easy chase or some point in the innings SRH will break and lose the match.

I wait and hope they win :-)

First wicket down for SRH, with Saha out for 25. The score is now 40-1 after 4 overs and even now, I'd say that SRH holds an advantage. Manish Pandey is the new batsmen and I think that he is capable of providing good support to Martin Guptill. Since their run rate is quite high, a win may propel SRH to the 3rd position in the points table (just below CSK and DC).

Edit: Guptill got out. SRH now 57-2 after 5.1

SRH has shown impressive game in last few matches and a win against MI would boost their morale in the playoff. They have an impressive runrate with just 1 wicket down. They might even play MI on the playoffs.

They are two down now.
It's time for them to build up a partnership. Where is Warner by the way? Is he not playing today?

Inspite of Warner and Bairstow out of the team, SRH is playing well and Manish Pandey will be key from here to win the match from SRH. They require 58 from 32 balls which seems to be more favorable to MI from here unless some one really play an awesome innings.

Well things are not looking good for SRH. They lost their 5th wicket. Tough job to do if they want to win this match. They need 57 runs with 5 wickets and 30 balls remaining

Match tied and Mumbai won the super over so they are officially qualified for the playoffs now.
Now 4th spot will be in tough competition for SRH,KXIP and KKR.

This was another great match. Manish freaking Pandey played brilliantly along with Nabi towards the end. SRH have the advantage and will most likely take the 4th spot if they win 1 more match thanks to their amazing NRR.

[Sithara007]

MI had the advantage of having the best bowler of the season in their squad. Also, in the super-overs, the team that is chasing always have a better chance of a victory. But still, it was an amazing fightback from Manish Pandey, and it is so rare to see the batting side winning the game when 6 runs are needed of the last ball. Anyway, SRH may still qualify for the playoffs, as they are currently 4th on the points table and have a run-rate that us superior to the other teams.

One of the memorable match of this season. Why don't they just declare the match a tie and share the points? After all it's a league.
SRH has proved it's worthiness and is still a favorite to reach the playoffs. Hope to see SRH be able to take vengeance with MI in this season.

Mumbai Indians were brilliant last night in all the departments, and executed their plans very well. What I liked about SRH is that they did not give up, but the absense of Warner definitely hurt them had he been there they would have won this game. Well I do hope you’re right and SRH does qualify for the playoffs, but for that to happen they need to improve their game further.

I do agree that they are the favorites in this case, but MI won the super over fair and square thanks to Hardik and Bumrah and I don't think they should have shared the points.

Both teams might face each other again in the playoffs and it will be interesting to see which team emerges the winner in such a scenario.

Yes. There is no need for a super over in the group stage. But then it may be good for the broadcasters. Many of their critics were claiming that SRH would not be able to put up a strong show, in the absence of Warner and Baristow. But they were proven wrong. Manish Pandey filled the gap left by the departure of the overseas players in such a comprehensive manner. They are the favorites to reach the playoffs, but the results of the other matches now matters a lot. The situation will be clear in 2-3 days.

[Cloudbet]

Seeing Pandey hitting a 6 off the last ball of the SRH innings to force a super over was amazing. Glad MI won but hats off to SRH for a great performance. If they had Warner it could have been a very different story given how close it was without him.

Well I think those many are right. They indeed struggled in the middle order. Scoring rate was slow. Williamson really needs to contribute to the team. This season, his achievements are not up to the mark.

I doubt SRH will qualify for the next round. Yesterday, MI took the advantage of having the top class bowler in their squad. I never thought DC and MI will qualify for the 2nd round :-P

The majority including me feel that SRH will take the 4th place spot primarily thanks to their awesome NRR. They just need 1 more win and they would most likely grab the 4th position.

They will not qualify only if they manage to lose their remaining matches which will most likely not happen after their strong showing against MI despite the absence of Warner and Bairstow.
