Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s batting troubles continued as they lost Travis Head early. To make matters worse, Ishan Kishan walked off the field even though no MI player appealed. Replays later showed that he was not out.
Things went from bad to worse as Abhishek Sharma and Nitish Reddy were also dismissed. With SRH struggling at 14 for 4, Heinrich Klaasen and Abhinav Manohar built a solid partnership to rescue the team from total collapse. The hard-hitting South African smashed 71 runs off just 44 balls, while the former GT player contributed 43 runs from 37 balls, including 2 fours and 3 sixes.
MI never looked under pressure while chasing the target of 144, with Rohit Sharma once again in good form. Despite Ryan Rickelton falling early, Will Jacks built a steady 64-run partnership with Sharma. The Indian veteran scored his second consecutive fifty, making 70 runs off 46 balls with 8 fours and 3 sixes.
By the time he got out, the match was already in the bag for the five-time champions. Suryakumar Yadav strengthened his position in the Orange Cap race with another explosive knock, scoring 40 runs off just 19 balls, including 5 fours and 2 sixes. He and Tilak Varma finished the match in just 15.4 overs. With this win, Mumbai Indians moved up to 3rd on the points table with 10 points, ahead of RCB and LSG.
