It was a one-sided match, but we are used to it from the two-time champs, as the Mumbai Indians (MI) laid waste to the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 7 wickets in a relatively comfortable win in match 41 of the IPL 2025, once again flexing their dominance after backing up a marauding performance from captain Rohit Sharma with cool calm from their bowlers, easily chasing down SRH's modest score of 143.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Innings

The Sunrisers Hyderabad lost the toss and found themselves batting first. They finished their innings at 143/8 after 20 overs. Kevin Klaasen kept the innings afloat with a blistering 71 off 44 balls, with some runs coming from Abhinav Manohar, who scored 43 from 37 balls, while Sunrisers lost wickets at the other end, with Aniket Verma being the only other batter with double-figure runs, 12 off 14 balls.
 
The Mumbai Indians were disciplined in their bowling, with Trent Boult leading the way with 4 wickets for 26 from 4 overs, breaking the Sunrisers batting lineup. Deepak Chahar was tight and lethal with 2 wickets for just 12 runs from his over, and Hardik Pandya chimed in with 1/31 after 3 overs. Their combined efforts reminded the Sunrisers that while they took ages to start, the Mumbai Indians attack with their batting was constant and fast, leaving the Sunrisers defense without getting going and low on runs. 

Mumbai Indians Innings

The Mumbai Indians had no trouble chasing their target, making it to the total of 146/3 in 15.4 overs, winning the match by 7 wickets. Rohit Sharma was impressive with his composed innings of 70 from 46 balls, setting the innings up for a formation of correctly made edges that made the target by demolishing the Sunrisers. He had adequate support, notably from Will Jacks, who scored 22 from 19, and then Suryakumar Yadav unleashed a blistering cameo of 40 in just 19 balls to seal the match emphatically.

Although SRH set a low total, their bowlers tried their best to fight the inevitable. Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga, and Zeeshan Ansari all got one wicket, but the MI batting line was too strong for SRH, chasing down their target with more than four overs to spare.
