Sunrisers Hyderabad Chase 244 at Wankhede, Hand Mumbai a Sixth Loss

The 244 chase spotlights a batter-dominated IPL that is exposing MI's bowling, intensifying scrutiny of Hardik Pandya.

Overview

  • Sunrisers Hyderabad, which overhauled the target Wednesday at Wankhede, won by six wickets in 18.4 overs after Mumbai’s 243/5 built on Ryan Rickelton’s 123 not out.
  • Travis Head’s 76 off 30 and Abhishek Sharma’s 45 launched the reply with 92 in the powerplay and a 129-run opening stand that put the chase in control.
  • Heinrich Klaasen finished unbeaten on 65 off 30 as 23-year-old Salil Arora cracked 30 off 10 to close the game with eight balls to spare.
  • The result stretched SRH’s winning run to five and lifted them to 12 points and third place, while MI slipped to a sixth defeat in eight and remain near the bottom.
  • In a season coaches and captains describe as batter-skewed, MI spearhead Jasprit Bumrah went wicketless for 54, and Hardik Pandya said the team will lean on owners, staff and loyal fans as they search for fixes.
