21.05 IST: Rashid Khan comes out to bat.
21.04 IST: OUT! Markande removes Nabi for 14. TIMBER! The googly does the trick. He has been completely foxed there. So a good comeback by Markande after going for runs in his first over. Mayank tosses this one up on off, it is beautifully flighted. Nabi tries to go big but is done in by the turn into him. It beats the inside edge and hits the stumps.

20.18 IST: FOUR! Straight down the ground! Gets a length delivery, angling in on middle, Pandey takes his front leg out of the way and goes bang over mid on for a boundary. He has walked in with intent, needs runs this season and looks like he's going to take the attack to the opposition.

Brief Preview: Under pressure after slumping to their fourth loss in five games, defending champions Mumbai Indians have the onerous task of re-discovering their winning touch when they lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL match on Tuesday at Wankhede Stadium. MI had started their campaign with three losses on the trot before a victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore arrested the streak, but the three-wicket defeat in Jaipur to Rajasthan Royals, their fourth last-over setback, has put them under tremendous pressure.
With nine games left before the play-off stage, MI find themselves in a difficult situation to win at least seven of them to improve their chances. As such, a win over SRH tomorrow is imperative to keep them in the hunt.
Sunrisers too have slipped from their earlier top perch after suffering back-to-back defeats, following three straight wins, and would be as keen to bounce back to winning ways. (Read Full Preview)
