ScorecardDynamite David goes off but Mumbai fall short again
Tim David smacked 46 off 18 balls for Mumbai Indians but just failed to inspire a rare win for the Indian Premier League's bottom side.
Mumbai, featuring Australians Daniel Sams and Riley Meedith as well as Hobart Hurricanes star David, fell three runs short of Sunrisers Hyderabad's 6-193 at the Wankhede Stadium.
Rahul Tripathi scored 76 off 44 balls for Sunrisers who had to win to have any chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
Mumbai opened the bowling with Sams and Meredith and the former dismissed Abhishek Sharma in the third over.

Tripathi was then joined by Nicholas Pooran, who hit sixes off successive balls against Meredith. However, Meredith eventually had him caught for 38 off 22 balls.
Meredith finished with 1-44 of his four overs, Sams 1-39 off his four.

It was Rohit's highest score this IPL season, before he fell in the 11th over to Washington Sundar.
Mumbai was reduced to 4-127 as tearaway quick Umran Malik struck thrice. He dismissed Kishan, Tilak Varma (8) and Sams (15), with the latter two falling in the 15th over.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a wicket-maiden over in the 19th, as the equation came down to 19 off six balls. Ramandeep Singh hit 14 off the final over as Afghanistan's 21-year-old pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi held his nerve.
It was Mumbai's 10th loss in 13 games this season. Sunrisers left Aussie Sean Abbott on the bench.
