Superb bowling by Krunal and Hardik Pandya and effective batting from Mumbai Indians' captain Rohit Sharma helped the team end league stage of IPL at No.1 , setting up a mouth-watering clash against Chennai Super Kings in the first qualifier at Chepauk on Tuesday.
The result knocked out Kolkata Knight Riders and put Sunrisers Hyderabad in the playoffs. Despite their defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday, Sunrisers will now face Delhi Capitals in the Eliminator in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. Asked to bat first on a slower-than-usual Wankhede track, Knight Riders stuttered to 133 for 7 with Robin Uthappa's go-slow encapsulating their struggles.
