Cape Town - The Mumbai Indians ran out 20-run victors over the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, with Lasith Malinga and Mitchell McClenaghan proving too much for the men in orange as they failed to chase the 158 required.

Mumbai batted well early on before Dale Steyn and Bhuvneshwar Kumar stiffled the scoring, and a target under 160 was not considered overly daunting. But Malinga's four wickets and McClenaghan's three put paid to the chase.
