Mumbai, April 17 (NationPress) A well-coordinated bowling performance on a pitch that provided extra bounce and support enabled the Mumbai Indians to limit Sunrisers Hyderabad to 162/5 in their 20 overs during Match 33 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
Following the decision of captain Hardik Pandya to bowl first, the Mumbai Indians effectively utilized the conditions and maintained a strong grip on the Sunrisers batters from the outset, restricting their scoring opportunities. Will Jacks achieved figures of 2-14 in three overs, while Jasprit Bumrah (1-21), Trent Boult (1-29), and Hardik Pandya (1-42) contributed as well.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad, who had successfully chased down 246 against Punjab Kings in their last match at home, struggled to find momentum and finished with a subpar score, especially with dew likely to impact the second innings.
Earlier, an action-packed first over bowled by Deepak Chahar nearly saw both SRH openers in trouble. Abhishek Sharma had a thick edge that flew over the first slip, escaping Will Jacks, while Travis Head narrowly avoided a catch at midwicket.
The openers took their chances, with Abhishek hitting Chahar for three consecutive fours in the fifth over, leading the Sunrisers Hyderabad to a modest 46 for no loss at the end of the power-play.
As they reached a fifty-run partnership, MI skipper Hardik Pandya, who appeared to be limping and had his ankle taped, made a breakthrough with his first ball after treatment, dismissing Abhishek Sharma as he attempted a cut shot that resulted in a catch at the boundary. Abhishek scored 40 off 28 balls, including seven fours, as SRH fell to 59/1.
Will Jacks had Ishan Kishan stumped by Ryan Rickelton for two, and Hardik Pandya nearly secured another wicket when Travis Head was caught near the boundary off a no-ball. However, the Australian opener couldn't take advantage and was dismissed for 28 runs off 29 balls, caught by Mitchell Santner off Will Jacks.
Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen managed to take the total over 100 runs in the 15th over. Their attempts to accelerate in the final overs saw Reddy fall for 19 off Trent Boult. Klaasen hit Chahar for a six over cover-point in the 18th over, followed by two boundaries and another six, accumulating 21 runs in that over, the highest in the match.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled a stunning yorker to uproot Klaasen's off-stump, sending the South African batsman back for 37 runs off 28 balls, which included three fours and two sixes. Aniket Verma smashed Hardik Pandya for a couple of sixes, and Pat Cummins rounded off their innings with a six off the last ball, concluding with 162/5.
Brief scores:
Sunrisers Hyderabad 162/5 in 20 overs (Abhishek Sharma 40, Heinrich Klaasen 37; Will Jacks 2-14, Jasprit Bumrah 1-21) against Mumbai Indians.
