De Kock scored his first fifty of IPL 2020
Hello and welcome to the IPL 2020 Match 17 Live Blog, featuring Indians from Mumbai and Sunrisers Hyderabad. This is the second game of the afternoon of the tournament and the first game of the afternoon in Sharjah. Make sure to hit update to get the latest updates!
Fifty Race Stand:Chahar goes on the attack and ends up getting hit by a big six by Pandey. Warner also finds the ceiling to ignore their struggle as the second pair of wickets lift a half-century tie with 27 deliveries.
Pandey SRH stem:Krunal keeps it tight in the seventh, giving away just three. But the 11th comes out of the next over, thrown by Pollard, with Pandey scoring at a good pace.SRH is 70 times 1 after 8.
Bairstow departure:An important wicket for MI as they return to Bairstow, who looked good with his hitting game. Boult, circling the wicket, threw a slower delivery and the batter ended up hitting Hardik directly on the deep square leg to go 25 of 15. Boult ends up getting hit by two fours by Pandey. Warner finally gets going with two straight fours from Bumrah in the sixth change. Pandey multiplies one behind the bowler by a four in the same as SRH manages 56/1 in the power play, his highest PP score this season.
Warner fighting:The Australian hasn’t had the best of touches this inning, struggling with his timing. He even tries to get out of trouble and the ball soars and lands away from three converging fielders at depth. Bairstow, meanwhile, has gotten comfortable. He also gave a six to Krunal, who pitched the third.
Bairstow starts off positively:Having hit a Boult delivery for a long six in the opening, Bairstow hits Pattinson for two consecutive fours. SRH are 20 times 0 after 2.
MI ends with 208 for 4: Natarajan, despite conceding 13 in his last over, finishes 0 of 29 in his four overs. Pollard saves a low full pitch for a six off Natarajan, while Hardik cuts one past the point back for a four. But a fine anyway. Kaul has released Hardik with a full delivery in the final. Bu Krunal Pandya provides the late fireworks with two sixes and two fours as MI drives 59 of the last four overs with Sharjah witnessing another 200+ total. Kaul finishes 2-for-64.
Pollard, Hardik again: Natarajan is hit by a six by Hardik at the start of the 17th, but comes back well, conceding 10 in the final. Sandeep Sharma also receives a six from Pollard, which is the 100th six in Sharjah. Follow another stretch of six to deep squares, like MI goes to 174 for 4 after 18.
Another between the fingers:A tough one for Warner, who did well to jump high and put his fingertips on the ball when Hardik tried to go big with Sandeep. However, the ball goes through Warner’s fingers for a six. A Pandey field error results in a four. But he returns splendidly, making an extended dive to pick up an excellent catch and send Kishan down for 31. Second window for Sandeep. Rashid follows him with a fine, giving away only 2. He finishes with figures of 1 in 22. IMs are 149 out of 4 after 16.
De Kock falls:Kaul has a memorable day as he concedes 15 from his third over, which includes a six and a four for De Kock. But the South African couldn’t read a googly from Rashid in the next over and got an upper edge that went high and the pitcher held on to him. Eight over when Kishan sends one over the fence. MI are 134 out of 3 after 14.
De Kock Fifty Powers MI: Rashid gives away just four of his second over to keep IM hitters at bay. De Kock then dances down the floor and hits one directly over Williamson’s head for a six to get to 32 fifty balls, his first in this IPL. Kishan also connects his first six innings, versus Williamson, in an over that goes 17. MI is 111 times 2 after 12.
De Kock positive:Samad will be disappointed with the missed opportunity in the seventh when Pandey dropped De Kock. The South African has added six more to his account, hitting Samad squarely on the ground, and a limit to deep midwicket. Kane Williamson sneaks into a quiet spot with two lefties in the fold, giving away just seven. MI is 90 times 2 after 10.
Lucky de Kock:Manish Pandey, of all people, lets one pass through his hands to give the South African a break. De Kock pulled Samad but didn’t get enough lift. Unfortunately for the bowler, Pandey couldn’t hold onto him. Ishan Kishan was about to cut one in Rashid’s stumps in the next over, having swept a four earlier. E is 67 of 2 after 8 overs.
MI kept under control: Despite De Kock hitting a four on the first ball of the fifth over, T Natarajan comes back well as he concedes only six in the over. Kaul hasn’t had the best of days. He begins the sixth again with a full pitch that Suryakumar rejects well, who also hits one through the coverage region for the same result. But Kaul can breathe a sigh of relief when a bad ball to the side of the leg was hit directly to the thin leg by Suryakumar, who walks away for 27.10 runs and a wicket at the end. IMs are 48 times 2 after 6, the lowest PP score in Sharjah in this IPL.
Deepu Stats:
More than 50 scores on Powerplay this IPL:6 times in Sharjah (7 tickets), 4 times in Abu Dhabi (12 tickets), 3 times in Dubai (14 tickets)
I get going: Kaul is met on the attack with a limit from De Kock, who takes a kick from the leg with ease. Suryakumar Yadav gets going with a drive over cover for a four, hits the next one through an extra cover and the next passes the mid-on for three fours in a row. 18 races of the third. Sandeep is back for fourth and conceding just seven despite being hit by a four by Suryakumar. MI is 32 times 1 after 4.
Rohit falls early:After three point balls, Rohit Sharma gets under way with a stop at midwicket for a six from Sandeep Sharma. But Sandeep fights back with the great MI pattern porthole. Looking to make a wide delivery, Rohit got a low edge for the ‘keeper. The outfield umpire initially ruled in favor of the batter, but SRH used the review successfully to nullify him. Only six runs since the first over and T Natarajan follows with a tight over, giving away just 1. How valuable will these silent overs be?
What a start for @SunRisers. The idea of establishing a Rohit Sharma on this terrain would have been terrifying …

Build:
In the six innings played so far in Sharjah, the lowest total ever scored has been 200. And the Mumbai Indians, who haven’t even played here, have scored 200 once and are close to him twice, totaling victories of 191 and 195. against KXIP and KKR respectively, in the four games they have played so far.
Against a fit batting order (Rohit Sharma at two fifty, Ishan Kishan nearing a hundred, Hardik Pandya providing fireworks in the latter part and Kieron Pollard in the form of his life) Can the Sunrisers attack bowling resist ? IM bowling has gone up and down a bit this tournament, but they will be looking to reflect on their fine show with the ball in their previous game against KXIP.
There have been nine games in 13 IPL seasons where 28 or more sixes were hit. Three of them have happened in the three matches in Sharjah so far at IPL 2020. 33 sixes RR vs CSK 29 sixes KXIP vs RR 28 sixes DC vs KKR #DCvKKR # IPL2020

SRH will wait for your main order, which has not yet been in its prime, to be delivered. With David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Manish Pandey and Kane Williamson, they have plenty of firepower at the top of the order to capitalize on the short limits. And all they need is a solid performance on your part to put pressure on MI. SRH will also be reflecting on the combination, with concerns about the availability of Vijay Shankar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
On paper, MI seems the most complete team and SRH the weakest of all. But stranger things are to be expected in the field, writes Aayush Puthran in his advance.

With a lineup that boasts of Quinton de Kock, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan coming out even before heavy hitters like Kieron Pollard and the Pandya brothers, your next game should be a scrumptious prospect for the defending champs. However, Kishan resists being carried away by the temptation against Sunrisers Hyderabad and insists on the need to exercise caution.
Between the December 2019 auction and now, Warner has repeatedly answered questions about the absence of an experienced Indian player to support SRH’s heavier team. On Friday, Priyam Garg gave people behind the scenes at SRH a reason to feel vindicated, and Warner a chance to say, ‘I told you so.
