In a captivating contest at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on April 17, 2025, the Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by four wickets in Match 33 of the IPL 2025 season. Chasing a target of 163, MI reached 166/6 in just 18.1 overs, with Tilak Varma sealing the deal in style.
Batting first, SRH scored 162/5 in their 20 overs. Abhishek Sharma anchored the innings with a fluent 40 off 28 balls, while Heinrich Klaasen contributed 37 from 28. MI’s bowlers maintained tight lines, with Will Jacks emerging as the standout performer, claiming 2 wickets for just 14 runs in three overs.
Mumbai’s reply got off to a solid start, with Ryan Rickelton scoring 31 off 23 deliveries. Will Jacks continued his all-round excellence, adding 36 off 26 balls. Though MI lost wickets in quick succession late in the game, Tilak Varma held his nerve and drove the winning runs in the 19th over.
One of the match’s defining moments came when Zeeshan Ansari appeared to claim a key wicket, only for the decision to be overturned due to wicketkeeper Klaasen’s gloves being marginally in front of the stumps. This rare form of no-ball allowed Rickelton to continue his innings, which proved crucial in the final outcome.
This win marked MI’s third of the season, giving them momentum heading into the latter half of the tournament. SRH, on the other hand, will need to reflect on missed opportunities and address middle-order inconsistencies. Both teams remain in playoff contention, with several key clashes still to come.
