Defending Champions Mumbai Indians suffered lower middle-order collapses for the second consecutive week as Rohit Sharma’s men managed just 150-5 and 137-9 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals respectively. The five-time champions defended the total successfully against Hyderabad, thanks to 3-19 by spinner Rahul Chahar and some superb bowling at the death by pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult. MI, however, couldn’t repeat the performance against Delhi, thus lost the game by six wickets.
