 Hyderabad 104-4 (15 ovs) vs Mumbai 157-8 | Scorecard

Rahul breaks the shackles as he slog sweeps Suchith over midwicket for a six, the first boundary hit after a long wait of 41 balls.

That spurs on his partner Bopara, who smashes it down the ground and manages to beat Pollard at long-off for a four.

13 runs from the over as Suchith finishes with one for 25 in four overs.

Rahul pulls a  short ball from Harbhajan square on the leg side where Simmons makes a good diving stop to keep it down to three. But only five runs from the over as Harbhajan finishes with 36 runs from four overs, conceding just nine in his last two.

59 needed from six overs as McClenaghan comes back. Bopara steers the first ball wide of thirdman and comes back for two runs to bring up Hyderabad's 100, in the 15th over.

He comes down the track but ends up slicing the next ball over the off-side as it goes on the bounce to sweeper cover for one.

Bopara looking to hit a few boundaries but so far McClenaghan sticking to a good line and length to restrict him. Rahul takes a risk and tries to hit it down the ground but ends up offering a simple catch to the fielder at long-off to fall for 25 from 27 balls.

Hyderabad are 104 for four in 15 overs, with 54 needed from five overs for victory with six wickets in hand.
