Bowlers set up Mumbai's 4-wicket victory over Hyderabad in IPL clash

A disciplined effort by their bowling unit, led by Jasprit Bumrah and skipper Hardik Pandya, helped Mumbai Indians defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad by four wickets in a low-scoring encounter in Match 33 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium.

This was the same wicket on which the Mumbai Indians had bowled out defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders for 116 a few days ago. On Thursday, they reaped the juice in the pitch after electing to bowl first and restricted Sunrisers Hyderabad to 162/5 in 20 overs. The hosts then rode on vital contributions by Ryan Rickelton (31), Will Jacks (36), Rohit Sharma (26) and Suryakumar Yadav (26) and Tilak Varma (21 not out) to reach 166/6 in 18.1 overs and win by four wickets with II balls remaining.

They could have had a better win margin if skipper Hardik Pandya had not lost his wicket going for a glory shot with two runs needed.

It was the Mumbai Indians' third win in IPL 2025 and took them to six points and seventh spot in the standings as they escaped from the logjam at four points towards the bottom of the points table. Sunrisers Hyderabad remain on four points.

Chasing 163 on a wicket that was still offering some assistance to the bowlers, Rohit Sharma, who came in as Impact Substitute, blasted three sixes -- two off Mohammed Shami in the second over and one off Pat Cummins. However, just when it looked like the Wankhede would see vintage Rohit Sharma in action, the former Mumbai Indians captain was out, gifting his wicket to a low full-toss as Cummins had the last laugh.
