Cricket News: Mumbai Indians tame Sunrisers Hyderabad by 40 runs in IPL

Riding on Alzarri’s Joseph’s fairy-tale debut in the Indian Premier League and the law of averages catching up on Sunrisers Hyderabad opening pair, Mumbai Indians thrashed SRH at home to earn the third win of the season. Chasing a modest 137 for victory, it was for the other batsmen to make it count for the home team as the hosts crashed to a 40-run loss. The likes of Vijay Shankar, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda and Yusuf Pathan had the opportunity but they messed it up as MI, who had stopped the winning run of defending champions Chennai Super Kings in their previous game, tamed the Sunrisers to show that their campaign is well on track.
