SRH Chase 249 to Beat MI, Extend Mumbai Indians Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Standings
Sunrisers Hyderabad turned the Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad standings race into a chase of 249-4 and won by six wickets on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. The result in Mumbai stretched Hyderabad’s winning run to five straight and left Mumbai’s attack under pressure again in a high-scoring Indian Premier League match.
Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen drove the finish. Head made 76 off 30 balls, then Klaasen closed it out with 65 not out off 30 as Hyderabad reached the target in 18.4 overs.
Head And Klaasen Finish It
Hyderabad’s reply was built on tempo from the first over. The opening pair put on 129 in 8.4 overs, with Abhishek Sharma adding 45 as the visitors erased the size of the target before the middle overs could settle.
Klaasen kept the chase moving once Head fell, and his unbeaten 65 came with seven fours and four sixes. That tempo left Mumbai needing a collapse that never came.
Rickelton’s 123 In Vain
Mumbai still produced a huge total. Ryan Rickelton made 123 not out off 55 balls and reached Mumbai Indians’ fastest-ever IPL century off 44 balls, while Will Jacks added 46 and the home side finished on 243-5.
Rickelton’s innings gave Mumbai a score that would win most nights, but Sunrisers answered with an even faster finish. Hyderabad’s batting never let the pressure build, and that was the difference when the chase crossed into the final stretch.
Bumrah And The Final Push
Jasprit Bumrah went wicketless for the sixth game this season, a run that left Mumbai short of the break they needed against Hyderabad’s top order. Pat Cummins backed the chase after the win, saying, "Knowing our lineup and the pitch, I thought it was chasable," and added, "When the pitch is good, they (Head and Sharma) have so many different shots."
He also said, "Glad I am not bowling to them." Hyderabad’s fifth straight win keeps the momentum with the visitors, while Mumbai are left to absorb a match where 243-5 was not enough at home.
