Warhorse spinner Harbhajan Spinner gained maximum as he took two big wickets in the shape of Warner and Deepak Hooda (9).
Jasprit Bumrah led the pace attack, claiming the scalp of Ben Cutting (20), wicketkeeper-batsman Naman Ojha (9) and tail-ender Rashid Khan (2).
Overseas delight Lasith Malinga and Mitchell McClenaghan supported Indian speedster as they dismissed Vijay Shankar (1) and Dhawan respectively.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya also joined the celebration after taking the scalp of SRH star campaigner Yuvraj Singh (5).
Even though Mumbai ruled the session, the game wasn't in their favour since the start. Sunrisers openers started steadily and took their time to settle before hitting big shots.
Batting in first ten overs without any loss of a wicket, Warner and Dhawan put 81 runs for the opening-wicket partnership.
However, following their dismissals, no other batsmen managed to put a strong impression. SRH lost five of their batsmen for a single-digit score.
