Smith and Rohit held their nerves and put up a steady 42-run partnership for Mumbai after Ishant Sharma struck twice to dismiss Sachin Tendulkar and Dinesh Karthik.
However, Mishra had other plans in mind when he scalped the duo in one over to leave the visitors reeling at 80/4 after 13 overs.
Mishra struck first to dismiss Rohit (22) when the Mumbai skipper was caught by Ishant, who made good on his dropped catch earlier in the match.
Soon after, Mishra caught Smith (38) plumb as the Mumbai batsman, who hit 3 boundaries and 2 sixes, failed in his attempt to sweep the ball.
Earlier, the Tendulkar-Smith duo put up a quick-fire 32 run stand for the opening wicket after Mumbai won the toss decided to bat against Hyderabad.
However, the party was short-lived when Ishant played wrecker-in-chief to dismiss Tendulkar (14) and Karthik (0) in one over.
While Tendulkar, who hit a couple of boundaries in his short innings, was comprehensively bowled, Karthik was caught comfortably by Karan Sharma.
Both teams head into this match with unchanged playing XIs from the previous match.
