Hyderabad successfully defended 118 against a batting line-up that included Ewin Lewis, Rohit Sharma and Kieron Pollard. Kaul and Khan had combined figures of 5-34 in eight overs, which included one maiden over from Khan. Mumbai were bowled out for 87 in 18.5 overs at the Wankhede stadium, conceding the game by 31 runs.

The second half, however, was excellent for the visitors. “In T20, obviously so much is happening so quickly, but the guys were outstanding today. A fantastic second half for us, but we are still to put a collective performance together. There is depth in our squad which is important and we saw that today,” said Williamson.

“We held our heads high and at the same time the best part is how well the guys performed in the second half of the game.”
