Mumbai Indians beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets at the Wankhede Stadium and ended their losing streak. The home side proved clinical after winning the toss with Hardik Pandya and Piyush Chawla picking three-fers while Suryakumar Yadav’s century paved the way for a comprehensive chase.

‌Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya's decision to bowl first paid off as the home team capitalized on the slower track at Wankhede Stadium. Sunrisers Hyderabad's explosive openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma got off to a decent start reaching 51/0 in the initial five overs. However, Mumbai's dependable asset Jasprit Bumrah broke through in the sixth over, dismissing Sharma. The pressure continued to mount on the visitors as Mumbai's debutant, Anshul Kamboj scalped the wicket of Mayank Agarwal in the eighth over. Despite this, Head and Nitish Kumar Reddy stabilized Hyderabad's innings taking the score to 88/2 after ten overs. Just as the Australian opener seemed set for another half-century, Mumbai's Piyush Chawla struck in the 11th over, removing Head for a brisk 48 off 30 balls, providing Mumbai with a crucial breakthrough. Unfortunately, setbacks continued for SRH when Reddy departed in the 12th over, followed by Heinrich Klaasen's dismissal in the 13th over, leaving them at 101/5. Thereafter, Marco Jansen and Shahbaz Ahmed took charge of the Hyderabad batting pushing the score to 120/5 by the 15th over. However, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya showcased his bowling skills, delivering his best performance of the season (3/31)  by removing Shahbaz and Jansen in the crucial 16th over. Despite the setback, Pat Cummins' late onslaught scoring 35 runs off just 17 deliveries bolstered the Sunrisers' total to a respectable 173/8 at the end of their innings.

Mumbai Indians were off to a shaky start as opener Ishan Kishan departed scoring just nine runs in the second over. The home team’s matter worsened when Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir departed within the powerplay with the scorecard at 36/3 in five overs. However, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma steadied the Mumbai batting with a 48-run stand taking the scorecard to 79/3 in eight overs with Surya scoring a brisk 32 off just 15 deliveries. The duo looked splendid with the bat as they slowly paved the way for Mumbai towards a clinical win with the scorecard at 93/3 in 11 overs. Additionally, the Indian batter went on to make a 30-ball fifty with Tilak contributing with a strike rate of 117. Meanwhile, Suryakumar looked great as he quickly scored 81 off 46 with the scorecard at 149/3 in 16 overs. With just 25 runs needed off the last four overs, the game was almost sealed for the home side. Additionally, Suryakumar Yadav made a splendid century off 51 deliveries and ultimately sealed the game for Mumbai Indians as they beat Sunrisers by seven wickets.
