Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad squared off against each other in a massive game for the men in orange. The Kane Williamson led side were coming into the game under the pump, after having lost 5 games in a row. A loss on Tuesday night would have seen SRH became yet another team to take the exit route out of TATA IPL 2022. The match was filled with drama as Mumbai Indians put up a valiant effort to chase down the 194 run target set by SRH and Tim David was the sole man who stood between a win and a loss.
Tim David’s brain-fade moment costs Mumbai a win –
The incident happened in the 18th over of the innings with Mumbai needing 45 runs from 18 balls. The first ball was a wide, then David hit Natarajan 1st legal delivery of the over for a six. The next ball was again a wide followed by a dot ball. The 3rd and 4th ball of the over went for two more sixes. The 5th ball of the over was again hit for a six and this sailed out of the ground for a 114 meter six. The 2nd biggest in the tournament after Livingstone’s 117 meter hit. The last ball of the over saw Tim David trying to retain strike and get run out.
Mumbai fans couldn’t believe it –
Mumbai Indians fans and Tim David himself couldn’t believe what had happened, after he had scored 26 runs in the over. A faint moment of losing his concentration cost him dear and his side a win. The Mumbai fans were close to tears, as Sara Tendulkar was clearly in tears after seeing what had unfolded. The daughter of Sachin Tendulkar was seen cheering every hit to the fence, but once David was out she couldn’t control her tears.

SRH stay alive with a 3 run win –
From needing 45 runs off 3 overs, MI needed just 19 runs off 12 balls and that became 19 off 6 balls after Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a maiden over in the 19th. Ramandeep Singh tried to hit around the park, but the task was too much for him as he saw Mumbai go down by 3 runs. With this win, SRH have 12 points from 13 games with a match against PBKS left to play. SRH will need to win the game and hope the results of the other games go their way to make a place for themselves in the play-offs.
