IPL: SRH defeat MI, who is the winner and sinner?
Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Mumbai Indians by 1 wicket in a last ball thriller to make it two back to back victories in the Indian Premier League 2018. Bowling first, the Sunrisers restricted Rohit Sharma's side to 147/8 before chasing down the target off the last ball. Here we take a look at the winner and the sinner of this fixture.
Mayank Markande is the winner of the match
Rookie leg-spinner Mayank Markande is the winner of the match. The 20-year-old bagged the wickets of Wriddhiman Saha, the in-form Shikhar Dhawan, the dangerous Manish Pandey and Shakib Al Hasan. Markande finished with figures of 4/23 with 11 dot balls at an economy of 5.75. Markande is now the top wicket-taker of IPL 2018 with 7 wickets to his name.
Ben Cutting is the sinner of this fixture
Mumbai Indians pacer Ben Cutting is the sinner of the match. The 31-year-old Australian had 11 runs to defend off the final over of the innings. It shouldn't have been a difficult task considering Sunrisers Hyderabad had just 1 wicket in hand. After being hit for a six, he gave away a wide and couldn't keep the tailender from rotating the strike.
Rashid Khan joins an elite list
Afghan teen Rashid Khan bowled 18 dot balls today, which is the joint highest by any spinner in the IPL. Ravichandran Ashwin has achieved the feat twice and Amit Mishra has bowled 18 dot balls once. Chris Woakes managed to bowl 15 dots in RCB's first game against KKR in IPL 2018.
