Indian Premier League 2023: The 25th league match of the 16th season of IPL was played between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI). Chasing 193 runs in this match, the Hyderabad team needed only 24 runs in the last 2 overs to win, but the team was reduced to 178 runs in 19.5 overs and had to face defeat by 14 runs. This is the third defeat of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team this season. At the same time, Mumbai Indians registered their third consecutive win while maintaining their winning streak.
After facing a close defeat in this match, Sunrisers Hyderabad team captain Aiden Markram said in his statement that we did not play well at all today. It should be credited to the players of our team that we managed to reach close to victory. During this match, the behavior of the pitch was seen in the same way. Whenever we reduced the pace from the ball, it was not reaching the bat well.
Eden Markram further said that we do not need to be too disappointed with this defeat. We need to improve some things after which we will come on the field with more strength in the coming matches.
#MumbaiIndians Continue to make merry as Cameron Green and Piyush Chawla strike in quick succession. #SRH lose Aiden Markram for 22 and Abhishek Sharma for 1.
