Mumbai Indians (MI) continued their winning streak in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a strong four-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. This was MI's second straight victory this season. Chasing a target of 163 on a tricky pitch that offered grip and turn, MI showed great planning and teamwork. They reached the target in 18.1 overs, finishing with a score of 166/6.
Will Jacks played a key role for MI. He scored 36 runs from 26 balls, including 3 fours and 3 sixes, and also took two important wickets with his bowling. Captain Hardik Pandya chipped in with a quick 21 off just 9 balls, helping to seal the win. Tilak Varma (21*), Suryakumar Yadav (26), and Ryan Rickelton (31) also made useful contributions. Even though Rohit Sharma was dismissed early after scoring 26 runs off 16 balls, he gave MI a fast start with three sixes. The rest of the batters continued the momentum.
MI bowlers also performed well in the first innings, especially on a pitch that was tough for batting. Jasprit Bumrah bowled tightly, giving away only 21 runs in 4 overs and taking one wicket. Trent Boult and Will Jacks also bowled effectively, keeping the pressure on SRH.
Sunrisers Hyderabad struggled to score freely and ended their innings at 162/5. Their innings picked up a bit of pace only in the last five overs, when they scored 57 runs. Heinrich Klaasen top-scored for SRH with 37 runs from 28 balls, while Abhishek Sharma made 40 off 28 balls.
MI's bowlers kept things under control from the start, not allowing SRH to build any big partnerships. Late hitting from Aniket Verma and Pat Cummins added some quick runs, but it wasn’t enough. With this win, MI showed strong form and smart tactics as they continue their IPL 2025 campaign.
