Mumbai Indians Crush Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2025: In a commanding performance at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Mumbai Indians (MI) continued their resurgence in the IPL 2025 season by thrashing Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 7 wickets with 26 balls to spare. Skipper Rohit Sharma led from the front with a blistering 70 off 46 deliveries, helping MI chase down SRH’s modest total of 143/8 in just 15.4 overs.
MI win toss and elect to bowl
Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Mumbai Indians’ bowlers made early inroads. The Sunrisers lost wickets at regular intervals and failed to build partnerships, despite Heinrich Klaasen’s valiant knock of 71 runs off 44 balls. His innings included 5 fours and 4 sixes, offering some resistance in an otherwise subdued batting performance.
Abhinav Manohar (43 off 37) tried to anchor the innings, but a lack of support from the lower order restricted SRH to 143/8 in their 20 overs. Aniket Verma struggled to accelerate, managing 12 off 14 balls.
Bowling brilliance from Boult and Chahar
Trent Boult was the standout performer for MI with the ball, returning impressive figures of 4/26 in his full quota of 4 overs. Deepak Chahar complemented him well, taking 2 wickets for just 12 runs. Hardik Pandya chipped in with 1/31 from his 3 overs, keeping things tight during the middle phase.
MI chase down target in style
In reply, Mumbai Indians began aggressively. Rohit Sharma set the tone with a fluent 70 off 46 balls, finding boundaries at will and dominating the SRH bowlers. His innings featured 8 fours and 2 sixes.
He was ably supported by Will Jacks, who scored a steady 22 off 19 before being dismissed by Jaydev Unadkat. But the real finisher was Suryakumar Yadav, who remained unbeaten on 40 off just 19 balls, showcasing his trademark flair with 4 fours and 2 sixes.
The chase was completed in 15.4 overs, with MI reaching 146/3, sealing a dominant 7-wicket victory.
SRH bowling falters
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling lacked bite in the powerplay and failed to apply pressure. Zeeshan Ansari was the most expensive, conceding 36 runs in 3.4 overs with just 1 wicket. Jaydev Unadkat and Eshan Malinga took a wicket apiece, but the MI batters were always in control.
Points Table Impact
This win significantly boosts MI’s net run rate and strengthens their push for a playoff berth, while SRH’s inconsistency continues to hurt their campaign.
