Cameron Green's all-round show and Arjun Tendulkar's pinpoint execution in the final over helped Mumbai Indians beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 14 runs at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Chasing a daunting 193-run target on big ground, SRH were off to the worst possible start. Harry Brook and Rahul Tripathi returned to the pavilion with just 25 runs on the board as Jason Behrendoff picked two in the powerplay.
Though Mayank Agarwal got stuck at one end, SRH kept losing wickets from the other.
However, Henrich Klassen's 36 runs off 16 balls did raise SRH's hopes. But once again, they lost wickets in heaps before Washington Sundar tonked Behrendoff for 19 runs in 18th over.
With 20 needed off the final over, Arjun Tendulkar showed great composure, conceding just 6 runs and picking up his maiden IPL wicket to seal a hat-trick of wins for Mumbai.
Put in to bat, Mumbai Indians were off to a flier, courtesy of Rohit Sharma's attacking strokeplay.
However, after Rohit's dismissal for 18-ball 28, Ishan Kishan took over the scoring.

But Hyderabad managed to pull things back in the middle overs before Tilak Verma blazed away with 37 runs in just 17 deliveries.
With Mumbai needing big runs in death overs, Cameron Green stepped up to the occasion, hammering 20 runs in one of Natarajan's overs, and recorded his maiden fifty of IPL. Green remained unbeaten on 64 as Mumbai posted 192 for 5.
