HYDERABAD: Deepak Hooda and Billy Stanlake held their nerve as Sunrisers Hyderabad won a thriller against Mumbai Indians by one wicket in the Indian Premier League yesterday.
Hooda made 32 not out off 25 balls while Stanlake scored two runs off the last delivery to clinch victory after leg-spinner Mayank Markande (4-23) and paceman Mustafizur Rahman (3-24) had earlier reduced Hyderabad to 107-5.
