Dominate — that’s exactly what Mumbai Indians did as they crushed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets to secure their fourth consecutive win in IPL 2025. The five-time champions are hitting form at the perfect time. This victory, therefore, puts them firmly in the top-four.

Despite a resilient 71 (44) from Heinrich Klaasen, SRH could only manage 143/8. As a result, MI chased down the target with ease in just 15.4 overs, thanks to a composed knock of 70 (46) from Rohit Sharma.

⚡ Dominate the PowerPlay: MI Fly as SRH Fall Apart

The game tilted MI’s way within the first six overs. While SRH crumbled under pressure and scored just 24/4, MI responded with an aggressive 56/1. Clearly, that start created a massive gap that SRH never recovered from.

Notably, SRH’s poor approach against Boult and Chahar cost them early momentum. In contrast, MI made full use of the fielding restrictions and punished every loose delivery.

🔥 Dominate the Middle: Klaasen Resists, But MI Stay Ahead

Though SRH were reeling at 35/5, Klaasen and Abhinav Manohar tried to stabilize the innings. Their 99-run partnership, however, was more about survival than control. Even as the boundaries started coming, MI’s bowlers continued to apply pressure.

  • Klaasen brought up his fifty in just 34 balls
  • Santner bowled three tight overs in this phase, giving away just 10 runs
  • Meanwhile, Chahar finished his spell with stunning figures of 2 for 12

Eventually, this resistance only ensured SRH had a total to bowl at — though still a below-par one.

💣 Dominate the Death: MI’s Bowlers Shut It Down

In the final overs, SRH had a brief opportunity to push for a total above 150. However, Jasprit Bumrah’s clinical 19th over changed the equation. He conceded just one six and dismissed Klaasen with the final ball.

Then, Boult returned to pick two more wickets in the last over. As a result, SRH were restricted to a modest 143/8 — a total that rarely looked threatening on a flat deck.

💥 Dominate the Chase: Rohit Sharma Leads MI Home

From ball one, MI looked assured. Rohit Sharma, in particular, was aggressive yet controlled. His fluent 70 off 46 set the tone for a dominant chase.

  • MI scored 56/1 in the PowerPlay
  • Rohit notched up back-to-back fifties — a first since 2016
  • Even after his dismissal, Suryakumar Yadav ensured there were no hiccups

Eventually, MI crossed the finish line in just 15.4 overs, highlighting the gulf between the two sides.
