Hyderabad end five-match losing streak to stay afloat in IPL

MUMBAI: Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson said the team will take "a lot of learning" from their three-run win over Mumbai Indians on Tuesday (May 17) as they ended a five-match losing streak to stay alive in the IPL.

Rahul Tripathi smashed a 44-ball 76 to guide Hyderabad to 193 for six after being put into bat first at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.

Speedster Umran Malik, who kept the speed gun busy and clocked the fastest of the match at 154.8 km/h (95.6 mph), then returned figures of 3-23 to restrict Mumbai to 190-7 despite a 18-ball 46 from Tim David.

The 2016 champions Hyderabad stay eighth in the 10-team table with a slim chance of making the final four.

"Nice to break the streak. But also nice to win the wrestle," Williamson said after the narrow win.

"Had a few games where momentum wasn't on our side and we couldn't wrestle it back. All in all a very good performance and a lot of learning to come out of it."

Rohit Sharma's Mumbai, the richest and most successful side in Indian Premier League history with five titles but the first to bow out of the play-off race this season, stay bottom of the table with 10 losses.

Tripathi put on big partnerships including a 76-run third-wicket stand with West Indies left-hander Nicholas Pooran, a wicketkeeper-batsman, who made a 22-ball 38.

Indian medium-pace bowler Ramandeep Singh attempted to check the Hyderabad surge with twin strikes in one over including Tripathi and South Africa's Aiden Markram for two.

Mumbai bowlers did pull things back and pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah gave away just seven runs in the 20th over and kept Hyderabad to below 200, a score that looked on the cards when Tripathi was batting.
