Mumbai Indians restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to 143/8
Hyderabad, Apr 23 (PTI): Pacers Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult led an impressive bowling show as Mumbai Indians restricted Sunrisers Hyderabad to 143 for 8 in their Indian Premier League match here on Wednesday.
Chahar (2/12) and Boult (4/26) rattled SRH in their opening spells as Pat Cummins' side were reduced to 13 for 4 in the fifth over before Heinrich Klaasen's power-hitting (71 off 44 balls) and his 99-run partnership with Abhinav Manohar (43 off 37 balls) salvaged some pride for the home side.
All the four SRH top-order batters -- openers Travis Head (0) and Abhishek Sharma (8), Ishan Kishan (1) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (2) -- were dismissed in single digits as the team could manage just 24 runs in powerplay.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bowl.
Players of both the teams wore black armbands to pay respect to the victims of the terror attack in Pahalgam on Tuesday.
Brief Scores:
Sunrisers Hyderabad 143 for 8 in 20 overs (Heinrich Klaasen 71, Abhinav Manohar 43; Deepak Chahar 2/12, Trent Boult 4/26).

Had a very good conversation with friend Modi: Trump
Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Friday said he had a "very good conversation" with his "friend" Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He was referring to the talks the two leaders had on Tuesday.
"I had a very good talk with him, and he's a friend of mine from India, and he's doing great. We had a very good conversation," Trump told reporters here as he headed to Las Vegas to address a roundtable on tax cuts.
Trump had called Modi on Tuesday to discuss the bilateral relationship and share perspectives on the situation in West Asia, where the US and Israel have launched a war on Iran.
The US and Iran declared a two-week ceasefire on April 7. They engaged in peace talks with Washington, insisting that Tehran give up its pursuit of nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment.
The war with Iran has sent gas prices soaring as Tehran blocked the sea lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow gateway for a fifth of global oil supplies.
During the Trump-Modi phone call on Tuesday, the two leaders stressed the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and secure.
According to the US Ambassador to India Sergei Gor, the 40-minute conversation ended with Trump telling Modi, "we all love you".
Tuesday's phone call was the second between the two leaders since the US-Israel war with Iran began on February 28.
