MI's Suryakumar Yadav's blistering 102* off 51 balls helped MI register their fourth win of IPL 2024, chasing SRH-set 174-run target in 17.2 overs on Monday (May 6).
Tilak Varma supported Surya with his finishing knock of an unbeaten 37 off 32 balls, helping MI seal a victory in their second-last match at Wankhede.
However, MI had a shaking start, due to the bowling spells of the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, and Pat Cummins, that pushed MI to a precarious 31-3.
MI's bowling department showcased good performance, including skipper Hardik Pandya and Piyush Chawla's three-wicket hauls, restricting the big-scoring team to 173.
The debutant Anshul Kamboj had a decent start to his IPL career with the wicket of Mayank Agarwal, even though he conceded 42 runs in 4 overs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad could reach a decent total of 173/4, thanks to Travis Head's 48 runs off 30 balls.
The SRH skipper Pat Cummins' late flurry of 35 runs scored in 17 balls also helped the orange army cross the 170-run mark.
However, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma's unbeaten 143-run stand helped defeat the visitors on MI's home ground.
