23:18   IPL 9: Warner powers Sunrisers to massive win vs MI

Sunrisers: 145/3 (17.3 overs) vs MI


David Warner finishes it in style as Sunrisers grab their first points in IPL 9.

Warner remained unbeaten scoring 90 off only 59 balls. 

MI again make a terrible start losing three out of their four matches. 

One big question: Why wasn't Krunal Pandya, who was their top bowler in the last game, handed the ball?

He didn't bowl a single over after completing his full quota in the last match. 

Rohit blames his batsmen for the defeat says they need to step up as no one is able to score big runs for MI.

Rohit says it's too early and there is no need to press the panic button. Also reminds their poor start in last two seasons.

Sunrisers: 133/3 (17 overs) vs MI


It looks to be all over for Mumbai Indians. Warner and Hooda are in complete control of the 143-run chase.
