After being asked to bat, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) scored 193/6 in 20 overs against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium on May 17 in a must-win game for them.

Priyam Garg set the tone by scoring 42 off 26 balls, including four boundaries and two sixes. At one point, it appeared that SRH might score 200 runs or more, but Mumbai bowlers kept them under 200.

Despite losing his opening partner Abhishek Sharma for 9 with 16 runs on the board in the third over, Priyam Garg made the most of the occasion. Priyam Garg teamed up with Rahul Tripathi for a 78-run second-wicket stand.

"This is a good score but it looks 10-15 short given how we were going but this is a good score our bowlers can defend. We didn't aim for 200 but went with the flow. I was told I will open and planned accordingly. The new ball came slow but got better as the innings went on," Priyam Garg had said during the mid-innings break.

Despite a valiant effort by Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad were able to defend the total and win the match by three runs.
