NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians (MI) registered a crucial four-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, keeping their IPL 2025 playoff hopes alive.
Chasing a target of 163, MI sealed the win in just 18.1 overs, thanks to contributions across the board from their top and middle order.
Batting second, MI got off to a brisk start with Ryan Rickelton (31 off 23) and Rohit Sharma (26 off 16) setting the tone.
Rohit looked in ominous form before falling to Pat Cummins, who was the standout bowler for SRH with impressive figures of 3/26.

Will Jacks kept the scoreboard ticking with a stylish 36 off 26 balls, while Suryakumar Yadav (26 off 15) added valuable runs in the middle overs.
MI captain Hardik Pandya then played a short but explosive cameo, smashing 21 off just 9 balls to bring the game close before Eshan Malinga struck twice in quick succession.
But Mitchell Santner and Tilak Varma ensured there were no more hiccups as MI finished at 166/6 with 11 balls to spare.
Earlier, SRH posted 162/5 after being put into bat. Abhishek Sharma (40 off 28) gave them a strong start, while Heinrich Klaasen (37 off 28) anchored the innings in the middle.
However, despite some late hitting from Aniket Verma (18 off 8), the total looked below par. MI’s bowling was well-rounded with Will Jacks (2/14), Hardik Pandya, Bumrah, and Boult picking up key wickets at crucial moments.
