When asked to bat first, SRH amassed the greatest-ever IPL total of 277 for three, stopping MI at 246/5.
At Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Mumbai Indians in a run-fest. SRH, asked to bat first, amassed the greatest-ever IPL total of 277 for three. Abhishek Sharma struck 63 off 23 to establish the groundwork, while Travis Head, playing in his first IPL match of the season, hammered a 24-ball 62. The last push to push the hosts over the 250-mark came from Heinrich Klassen (80) and Aiden Markram (42). In response, MI trailed by two wickets at 66 until Tilak Varma (64 off 34) and Naman Dhir (30 off 14) combined for a strong 84 runs to give the team a fighting chance. But after that, limits were set by SRH, and MI were ultimately limited to 246/5.
