MI vs SRH memes, IPL 2022: Top 10 funny memes from the latest match
SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) kept their playoff hopes alive with a hard-fought win against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 65th match of IPL 2022 on Tuesday (May 17).
After being put in to bat first, SRH received a setback as Abhishek Sharma (9) departed early in the innings with just 18 runs on the scoreboard. Playing his first match of the season, Priyam Garg (42 in 26 balls) replaced Kane Williamson at the top order and played at a brisk pace, a key ingredient missing in Hyderabad's matches so far.
His 78-run partnership with Rahul Tripathi (76) provided a solid platform for SunRisers' middle order to cash in on later. Ramandeep Singh pulled the curtains down on Garg's enterprising knock in the tenth over through a caught and bowled dismissal.
In the hopes of maximizing a strong start, SunRisers management then promoted Nicholas Pooran ahead of Markram and Williamson. The southpaw did not disappoint as he raced away to 38 in the company of Rahul Tripathi (76) to keep the momentum intact after Garg's wicket.
Tripathi anchored the innings along with a sensational knock in this must-win game for SRH. After the duo's departure, Hyderabad lost some momentum and eventually ended up with 193/6 after looking well set to cross the 200-run mark.
In the chase, Rohit Sharma (48) and Ishan Kishan (43) gave MI an ideal start with their 95-run opening partnership. Following this stand, Mumbai's innings got derailed due to a three-wicket spell from Umran Malik.
Just as SRH looked to be in the driver's seat, Tim David turned the tide back in MI's favor with his flamboyant big-hitting skills. He went berserk in the 18th over by smashing Natarajan for 26 runs, including four sixes. However, David got run out off the final delivery of the same over, trying to retain the strike.
That proved to be a massive turning point in the game as MI failed to score 19 runs off the last two overs. Veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar's vast experience came to the forefront at this juncture as he bowled a wicket maiden in the 19th over to put SRH on the brink of victory.
MI could only reach 190/7 after 20 overs and lost the match by three runs.
