Currently, the eighth match of the Indian Premier League 2024 is being played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. In this match, Sunrisers Hyderabad, batting first, scored 277 runs losing three wickets in 20 overs. All the batsmen from Sunrisers Hyderabad performed very well in this match and put constant pressure on the bowlers of Mumbai Indians.

In this match, Kwena Maphaka, who made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians, bowled very disappointingly and gave away 66 runs in four overs. The most disappointing thing for Kwena Maphaka was that he could not put pressure on any of the Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen and everyone played an aggressive game against him.

Let us tell you, Kwena Maphaka bowled very well for South Africa in the ICC U19 World Cup and that is why Mumbai Indians included him in their team. Kwena Maphaka took 21 wickets in this important tournament. Not only this, the young South African bowler was also awarded the Player of the Tournament award.

However, the IPL debut of this young player was very bad. Apart from Kwena Maphaka, Gerald Coetzee gave 57 runs in four overs and took one wicket.

Mumbai Indians need 278 runs to win the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad

For Sunrisers Hyderabad, Abhishek Sharma batted explosively and scored 63 runs in 23 balls with the help of three fours and 7 sixes. Not only this, Travis Head contributed 62 runs while Heinrich Klaasen played a stormy inning of 80* runs in 34 balls with the help of 4 fours and 7 sixes.

Mumbai Indians need 278 runs to win this match. This target is very big for the Mumbai team but they also have many such excellent batsmen who can play an important role in their team’s victory while batting aggressively.
