While Mayank smashed quickfire 83 runs off 46 deliveries, Vivrant contributed valuable 69 runs to power Hyderabad to a competitive total of 200/5 in their allotted 20 overs. Meanwhile, Akash Madhwal was the star performer for the Mumbai-based team with the ball as he bagged a four wickets for 30 runs.
In reply, MI lost Ishan Kishan with just 20 runs on the board. Cameron Green and Rohit Sharma then batted brilliantly and webbed a 128-run partnership to ensure Mumbai’s win in the contest. Green hammered his maiden IPL ton in the contest and remained unbeaten on 100 off just 47 deliveries. Meanwhile, MI skipper Rohit scored 56 runs off 37 balls. Although Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mayank Dagar picked up one wicket each for the Sunrisers, the touring party lost the contest by eight wickets.
Notably, Green became the ninth centurion of the IPL 2023 and was adjudged ‘Player of the Match for his exceptional performance.

Cameron Green has been the catalyst in this chase and this hitting is as powerful as it gets. And #MumbaiIndians will be relieved at Rohit getting his rhythm back after an iffy start.
