Mumbai top-order batters were ruthless in the run-chase by the halfway stage with little cameos before Hyderabad came back strongly through skipper Pat Cummins (2-35) and Jaydev Unadkat (2-47) in the second half and restricted the five-time champion to 246-5.

Rohit Sharma (26) and Ishan Kishan (34) raised Mumbai’s half-century in the first three overs before both fell in successive overs while looking for big shots.

Top-scorer Tilak Varma, who made 64 off 34 balls, and Naman Dhir (30) then rattled an 84-run partnership before Unadkat and Cummins pulled the reigns with both batters miscuing their big shots.

Tim David made an unbeaten 46 off 22 balls, but Hyderabad was always in control during the death overs in a game where bowlers were punished for plenty.

Mumbai’s ploy to hold back its ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah (0-36) didn’t work out well as Head smashed an 18-ball half-century and then Sharma raised the bar when he compiled his fifty off just 16 balls on a perfect batting wicket.
