A leg-bye to David Warner start the over. A dot ball followed, then Krunal Pandya pulled up a blinder. No, it's not. Shikhar Dhawan survived. Replays, after replays showed that Pandya 'failed' to control the catch. Good effort though.

Rohit Sharma straight away starting with his most experience bowler, Harbhajan Singh. A slip in placed.

But Dhawan managed to play it late, a cut shot for first run of the match.
David Warner played an expansive shot towards extra cover, where Kieron Pollard tried to stop the ball. A single, nonetheless. Two runs from the over. Brilliant over.

TOSS: Rohit Sharma spins the coin, and David Warner calls it heads, and it's tails. Sharma said, it's an obvious choice to bat second. Mumbai bat first.
And here is one fact which will keep captains in a spot, that existential to be or not to be...
All T20 games at Wankhede since the start of 2016 have led to the chasing team just losing 3 out of 26 games. #OrangeArmy #StatsThatMatter
— SunRisers Hyderabad (@SunRisers) April 12, 2017
To start with, here are five players to watch out for today. The list sure includes both the skippers and one rock-star.
Leaders Sunrisers Hyderabad travel west to take on Mumbai Indians, who will be confident on the back of a thrilling victory against Kolkata Knight Riders, when Nitish Rana and Hardik Pandya produced fireworks in the end to give the team their first victory of the campaign.
The two-times IPL champions, led by Rohit Sharma, will be put to test facing David Warner's table-toppers, who haven't put a foot wrong in the campaign so far.
Batting first, SRH handed RCB a 35-run defeat in the season opener after posting 207 runs on the board. While in their second match, they restricted a batting-heavy Gujarat Lions line-up to mere 135-7 and subsequently, cruised to a 9-wicket win, chasing down the total in just 15 overs.
Bangladesh star Mustafizur Rahman has joined the squad and is likely to be selected straight in the playing eleven, considering his limited availability to IPL this season.
