Shikhar Dhawan's unbeaten 62 and Moises Henriques' 44 helped Sunrisers Hyderabad register a seven-wicket victory over table-toppers Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League encounter here yesterday.
Chasing a modest score of 139, Dhawan and Henriques put on a 91-run partnership for the second wicket to ensure a home win for their team with 10 balls to spare.
Dhawan, who earlier in the day was picked in India's Champions Trophy squad, hit four fours and two sixes during his 46-ball knock.
Earlier, skipper Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians' slow recovery with a 67-run knock but Surisers Hyderabad succeeded in restricting the table-toppers to a modest 138 for seven.

The Mumbai Indians skipper added 60 runs for the fourth wicket Hardik Pandya (15) but Hyderabad bowlers never allowed the rivals to score freely with Siddarth Kaul (3-24) hurting them with an impressive three-wicket haul.
While Kaul took wickets, the Afghanistan spin duo of Rashid Khan (1-22) and Mohammed Nabi (1-13) choked the batsmen with impeccable line and length. Together they conceded only 35 runs in eight overs.
The hosts kept the Mumbai batsmen on a tight leash, giving away only 36 runs in the power play and also got rid of big-hitting Lendl Simmons (1) and Nitish Rana.
Nabi, preferred over Kane Williamson, struck with his fourth ball, clean bowling the West Indian while paceman Kaul scalped Rana (9).
Parthiv Patel (23) was dropped by Vijay Shankar immediately after Rana's dismissal but the southpaw could not cash in on and soon became the second victim of Kaul to leave Mumbai reeling at 36 for three.
Hyderabad dried up the runs with the table-toppers managing only 59 runs at the half-way mark but Rohit and Pandya were still there.
Nabi completed his quota of overs in one go and conceded only 13 runs, playing his part in choking Mumbai. Warner smartly used all his five bowlers. After opening the attack with Bhuvneshwar he brought the paceman back only in the 13th over. Rohit and Pandya though kept the scoreboard ticking with singles and also found odd boundary in between.
