Mumbai Indians Crush Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 Wickets in Dominant IPL 2025 Display
Mumbai Indians (MI) extended their winning streak to four matches with a commanding 7-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, chasing down a modest 144-run target in just 15.4 overs. Rohit Sharma anchored the chase with a blistering 70 off 46 balls (8 fours, 3 sixes), dominating SRH’s bowling attack alongside Will Jacks (27 off 18), while Suryakumar Yadav (32* off 16) sealed the win with back-to-back sixes and a boundary off Zeeshan Ansari. SRH’s innings crumbled to 143/8 as Trent Boult (4/26) dismantled the top order, removing Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma early, while JaspritBumrah and Deepak Chahar stifled the middle overs.
MI’s chase began aggressively, with Sharma and Jacks posting 56/1 in the powerplay, before Suryakumar accelerated with three sixes in a 16-run over off EshanMalinga. SRH’s bowlers, including Pat Cummins (0/25) and Malinga (1/33), lacked penetration, failing to defend their lowest total of the season. The win propelled MI to third place (10 points), while SRH’s playoff hopes dimmed after their sixth loss in eight games. Boult earned Player of the Match for his four-wicket haul, emphasizing MI’s “simple plan to attack the stumps.” The result marked MI’s fourth consecutive win, showcasing their resurgence after a slow start to IPL 2025.
