Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians Match Scorecard: MI Triumphs
Mumbai Indians (MI) continued their impressive resurgence, securing a convincing seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their IPL 2025 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. After restricting SRH to a modest 143/8, MI chased down the target with ease, showcasing their improved batting and bowling prowess.
A Slow Start for SRH, Klaasen's Rescuing Innings
SRH's innings got off to a disastrous start, collapsing to 35/5 in the powerplay thanks to the brilliant new-ball bowling of Trent Boult (4/26) and Deepak Chahar (2/12). The early wickets of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma set the tone, while Ishan Kishan's bizarre dismissal without an appeal added to SRH's woes. However, Heinrich Klaasen's stunning 71 off 44 balls, partnered by Abhinav Manohar's 43, prevented a complete collapse. Despite their efforts, the total proved insufficient.
Mumbai's Dominant Chase

While he eventually fell, Suryakumar Yadav's unbeaten 40 off 19 balls sealed the victory with 26 balls to spare. The match highlighted MI's all-around strength, with their bowlers setting the platform and their batters finishing the job efficiently.
