Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have beaten Mumbai Indians (MI) by six wickets in a high-scoring clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Batting first, MI posted 243 for 5 in their allotted 20 overs, courtesy of a brilliant 123 not out by Ryan Rickelton. Batting second, SRH dominated the chase from the start as the visitors chased down the target in just 18.4 overs.

For SRH, Travis Head (76) and Heinrich Klaasen (65 not out) were enough to outclass the hosts, winning the game by six wickets.

MI’s poor show continued despite putting up their season’s highest score, while SRH marked their fourth-highest successful run chase in IPL history on a batting-friendly pitch that provided no competition between bat and ball.

Chasing 244, SRH made 249/4 in 18.4 overs.

Travis Head started the chase in his usual aggressive fashion, scoring 76 off 30 balls with eight sixes and four boundaries, while Heinrich Klaasen ended MI’s hopes with 65 off 30 balls, sealing the game for the visitors.

The SRH openers smacked every MI bowler around the park, as Jasprit Bumrah, who is going through a poor form, continued to leak runs and remained wicketless again.

He gave away 54 runs in four overs, with the first over going for 14 runs, setting the tone for SRH batters to chase down the massive total.

Earlier, Rickelton’s 123 not out took his team to a massive 243 for 5.

The South African batter batted through the innings for an unbeaten 123 off just 55 balls with 10 fours and eight sixes, anchoring MI’s charge to a competitive total on a batting-friendly track at the Wankhede Stadium.
