Sunrisers 67-0 (8 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard

All-rounder Hardik Pandya comes into the attack with Mumbai desperate to break this opening stand and pull back things.

Pandya struggles to get his line right, bowling on the legs with Warner pulling the short ball through square leg for two runs.

Another full delivery on the pads is flicked fine by Dhawan for a four as Bumrah lets it through as he dives to his left at fine leg. He pulls the next ball through midwicket for two more runs and flicks the last ball past short fine leg for two more to get 10 from that over.

Harbhajan, who bowled an expensive first over, comes back. Warner keen to attack him as he comes down but Harbhajan adjusts well as he bowls three dot balls in a row.

Warner gets a single from the fourth ball before Dhawan profits from a misfield by Krunal Pandya at short thirdman who lets it go through his legs for a four followed by one.

Sunrisers looking in control on 67 for no loss in eight overs with Warner on 38 from 26 balls and Dhawan on 28 from 22 balls as the duo once again lay a solid foundation for their team.
