Mumbai Indians (MI) became the first team this season to restrict their opposition to a total below 200 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in their 34-run win against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday. MI captain Rohit Sharma opined that the wicket was on the slower side because of which his side scoring 208/5 was a commendable effort.

"The wicket looked good but it was slightly on the slower side. Getting past 200 was a great effort," said Rohit at the post-match presentation ceremony. "We didn't have any sort of score in our mind on how much to get, like I said at the toss it is important to play good cricket and we back our bowlers to come and do the job. To win by 34 runs on this ground is a great effort."
