Sunrisers 23-0 (3 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard

The dangerous left-handed duo of David Warner and Shikhar Warner to open the batting for Sunrisers Hyderabad, while Tim Southee will open the bowling for Mumbai.

Southee starts with a short ball also offering a bit of width as Warner punches it through the covers to start off with a four.

The play is briefly held for a few minutes because of problem with the sightscreen.

Southee then bowls a perfect yorker as Dhawan somehow digs it out on the leg side for one and Warner also takes one as seven comes from the first over.

Another Kiwi from the other end as has been the case this season for Mumbai Indians. Mitchell McClenaghan, the leading wicket taker in this year's IPL with 13 scalps, is right on the mark as Warner defends before taking one from the next.

A single each to the two batsmen before Dhawan pulls a short ball on his body fine on the leg side for a four to spoil what would have been a good first over from McClenaghan.

Dhawan looking in good touch early on. A full delivery from Southee is driven with some good timing through the covers by Dhawan for three runs as Rohit does well to slide and stop it inside the ropes.

Southee keeping it a bit short as Warner slashes it to thirdman for one and Dhawan pulls it to deep square leg for the same result.

Warner then turns one off his pads behind square on the leg side and rushes back for two runs.

He hits the last ball to deep square for one as Sunrisers reach 23 for no loss in three overs.
