David Warner's Sunrisers Hyderabad side have moved closer to the Indian Premier League playoffs after defeating the competition-leading Mumbai Indians by seven wickets.

Sunrisers cruised to 3-140 with 10 balls to spare after Mumbai were restricted to 7-138 on a slow pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

"Everything went to plan," Warner said.

"Credit to the bowlers, they gave us a small total to chase."

Sunrisers were tentatively hanging on to the fourth and last playoff place with only one round-robin match left, on Saturday against the eliminated Gujarat Lions, while Mumbai have already qualified for the playoffs, and still have two matches left.

"It's an eye-opener for us on what to do when we bat first," said Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma.

"We could be put into bat, it won't always be in our favour, so we have a lot of learning from this loss."

Australia's Moises Henriques (44) combined well with opener Shikhar Dhawan, 62 not out, for a 91-run stand after Warner fell lbw to Mitchell McClenaghan's full-pitched delivery in the second over.

Dhawan hit four boundaries and two sixes in his third half-century of the tournament, and Henriques smashed six boundaries before he got a leading edge off Jasprit Bumrah.

Earlier, Mumbai Indians were tied down by the spin duo of Mohammad Nabi (1-13) and Rashid Khan (1-22).

Rohit, 67 off 45 balls, scored the bulk of the runs and featured in a 60-run stand with Hardik Pandya, 15, in an otherwise sluggish batting display.

Seamer Siddarth Kaul (3-24), who took the wickets of Parthiv Patel and Nitish Rana in his first two overs, removed Rohit in his return spell when the skipper dragged a short-pitched delivery on to his stumps.
