Head's early luck

Mumbai Indians 174/3 win by 7 wickets over Sunrisers Hyderabad 173/8

It was a strange kind of powerplay with the ball for MI. They weren't bowling badly, but their luck was not on their side. Travis Head started the innings with an inside-edged four past leg stump in the first over off Nuwan Thushara and then another in the second off debutant Anshul Kamboj. Kamboj should have had his first IPL wicket in the next over when he had Head's off stump splat to the ground, but he had over-stepped. Head ended up trapping him for 19 in the over and SRH was off.

Jasprit Bumrah had Abhishek Sharma caught behind for 11 off 16, but SRH still managed to reach 56 for 1 in the powerplay. MI would have been miffed to have bowled 18 fours in the first six overs but could only manage one wicket.
