It has been top-notch fielding effort from Sunrisers Hyderabad, not something usual in this 2025 Tata IPL. And some spices from Eshan Malinga in the 18th over, a bizarre one, with 1 run, three dots, and wickets of Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir. But it was not enough for the orange troop to secure a win. Tilak Varma curtailed the nervous delay as he hit the final boundary, crushing SRH by 4 wickets. Sunrisers are no doubt having an ideal campaign in the IPL 2025. A throttled batting order that has demeaned their aggressive approach and has haunted them again. They got off to a strong start thanks to Abhishek Sharma's 40 off 28 balls, but the batters struggled to find boundaries after his dismissal. Travis Head was given two reprieves but eventually fell to Jacks for 28. Ishan Kishan (2) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (19) also couldn’t build partnerships, with Reddy getting dismissed by Boult. Heinrich Klaasen came in and fought hard with a quick 37 off 28, mostly smacking Deepak Chahar, but he too fell to Bumrah. With the wickets falling steadily, Aniket Verma entered the scene, showcasing his aggressive batting style with an unbeaten 18 off just 8 balls. Pat Cummins, despite not scoring heavily (8*), kept the pressure on by backing Verma, often stealing doubles to give him the strike. This partnership helped SRH reach a total of 162/5 in 20 overs, with Verma's explosive finish giving hope to a fightback. Mumbai Indians' bowlers used pace and variety effectively. Deepak Chahar was expensive, conceding 47 runs, while Trent Boult took a key wicket and gave away 29 runs. Jasprit Bumrah was the standout, with 21 runs and a vital wicket. Will Jacks impressed with 2 wickets for 14 runs, and Hardik Pandya took 1 wicket but gave away 42 runs. Mitchell Santner had a quiet spell, conceding just 8 runs in 1 over.

MI's former captain gave an early start, smashed 3 sixes, and scored 26 runs off just 16 balls. But Travis Head just triggered some bad trip, as it was him who grabbed Rohit after Rohit tried to hit a lower full toss from Pat Cummins. Head actually took two crucial catches, one of Ro and the other one of Ryan Rickelton, who was also doing decent with the bat. Rickelton managed 4 boundaries, added an important 31 runs on the board at the top. It was just Harshal Patel, the two-times Purple Cap winner of the league, who was brought in and did the magic with an offcutter wide of off. Rickelton, who just survived a close stumping-out call, had to leave, having MI batting at 69. Suryakumar Yadav, meanwhile, played a cool cameo of 26 runs in 16 balls. But Suryakumar Yadav, looking to loft Pat Cummins straight down the ground, got struck on the bat’s top half, resulting in an easy catch for Zeeshan Ansari at mid-off. Then left Will Jack, scoring 36 runs, after he tried to go over the mid-off, slapping a length ball off Cummins, and Zeeshan took an easy catch. At a point when Hardik Pandya (21) was looking to finish the match, Eshan added the twist. Both teams buckled up to shake hands, but the bloke managed to get the tightest over for his team, but all in vain. With Zeeshan coming in, Tilak (21*) got the final run between short third and point. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins led the attack with 3 wickets, while Eshan Malinga chipped in with 2. Harshal Patel managed 1 while Mohammad Shami, Zeeshan Ansari, and Rahul Chahar struggled, conceding over 9 runs per over each. A final outcome of the result should be that it's high time for Cummins and co. to put their guard down and have a second option rather than wildly going after big hits. It's actually troubling to gobble up that a team with expectations to cross 300 is struggling to cross 200.
