Defending champions Mumbai Indians beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 42 runs in a high-scoring game here on Friday but their spirited effort was not enough to take them to the IPL play-offs.
After amassing 235 for nine, MI needed to limit SRH to 65 or less to qualify for the play-offs ahead of KKR, but expectedly that did not happen. SRH ended with 193 for eight with stand in captain Manish Pandey making an unbeaten 69 off 41 balls.
