IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians crush Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets

Mumbai Indians registered a dominant seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, climbing further up the IPL 2025 points table with a fourth consecutive win.

Coming into the match with renewed momentum, the five-time champions chased down Sunrisers' modest total of 143/8 with relative ease, thanks to a commanding innings from Rohit Sharma, who scored 70 off 46 balls, including 8 boundaries and 3 sixes.

Sunrisers, currently languishing near the bottom of the table with just 4 points from 8 games, struggled once again despite a resilient 71 off 44 from Heinrich Klaasen, his first fifty of the season. He found little support from the rest of the lineup, as Trent Boult (4 wickets) and Jasprit Bumrah (2 wickets, including his 300th T20 scalp) dismantled the SRH batting order.

Mumbai’s run chase started shakily with Ryan Rickelton falling early to Jaydev Unadkat, but Rohit and Will Jacks (22 off 19) steadied the innings. Rohit's form looked impeccable once again after his half-century in the previous match, signaling a return to his classic touch. Despite a late hiccup with Rohit’s dismissal to Eshan Malinga, Mumbai wrapped up the match without much drama.

Match Highlights:

SRH 143/8 in 20 overs | Klaasen 71 (44), Boult 4 wickets

MI 147/3 in 17.4 overs | Rohit 70 (46), Jacks 22 (19)

Player of the Match: Rohit Sharma

Notable Milestone: Jasprit Bumrah reaches 300 T20 wickets

Mumbai Indians, once near the bottom of the table, now look like serious playoff contenders as they continue their comeback story. Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, will need a drastic turnaround to stay alive in the tournament.
