IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians Clinch Fourth Consecutive Win, Crush Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 Wickets
Hyderabad, April 23, 2025 โ Mumbai Indians extended their winning streak to four matches in a row with a commanding seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 41st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. The win, secured with 26 balls to spare, has propelled Mumbai to third place on the points table with 10 points from 9 matches.
Trent Boult Stars with the Ball
The standout performer of the night was Trent Boult, whose lethal spell earned him the Player of the Match award. The left-arm pacer bagged 4 wickets for 26 runs in his four overs, dismantling Hyderabadโs top order in the powerplay and setting the tone for Mumbaiโs dominance.
Rohit Sharmaโs Blazing 70 Anchors Chase
Chasing a modest target of 144, Mumbai Indians cruised to victory in just 15.4 overs. Rohit Sharma led from the front with a commanding 70-run knock, laced with 8 fours and 3 sixes. His partnership with Suryakumar Yadav, who remained unbeaten on 40, ensured Mumbai never lost momentum in the chase.
Additional contributions came from Will Jacks (22) and Riyan Rickelton (11), while Hyderabadโs bowling attack failed to make significant inroads after the early breakthroughs.
Hyderabadโs Collapse and Middle-Order Revival
Batting first after losing the toss, Sunrisers Hyderabad struggled early, slumping to 35/5 within the powerplay. However, a resilient partnership between Heinrich Klaasen and Abhinav Manohar revived the innings with a 99-run stand, helping the team post a respectable 143/8.
Klaasen and Manohar were the lone bright spots for Hyderabad in an otherwise disappointing batting effort. Their resistance pushed the total into defendable territory, but it wasnโt enough against Mumbaiโs strong batting lineup.
Mumbai Bowling Unit Fires on All Cylinders
In addition to Boultโs heroics, Deepak Chahar took 2 wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya picked up one wicket each, maintaining pressure throughout the innings.
Points Table Update
With this win, Mumbai Indians now sit third on the IPL 2025 points table with 5 wins from 9 matches. Their net run rate and consistent performances over the past four games have reignited their playoff hopes.
