Wankhede Stadium mein 17 April ko khela gaya IPL 2025 ka match Mumbai Indians (MI) ke naam raha, jahan unhone Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) ko 4-wicket se hara diya. Will Jacks ki all-round performance ne MI ko 163-run ka target sirf 11 balls baaki rehte chase karwa diya. Is jeet ke saath MI ne apne points 6 tak pahucha diye.
SRH ki chhathi haar aur Pat Cummins ki frustration
“It wasn’t the easiest wicket. Few runs short, we would have liked a couple more with the bat. Tricky wicket, when you come here you expect it to be really fluent and fast, just wasn’t that. They bowled really well, shut down a lot of our hitting areas… You have got to play well away from home to make the final, unfortunately it hasn’t clicked so far this season… next game is at home and we know that venue pretty well.”
– Pat Cummins (Post-Match Presentation)
SRH ke liye match ki shuruaat kuch khaas nahi rahi. Abhishek Sharma aur Travis Head ne safe khelna chaha, lekin powerplay ke baad score sirf 43 tha. Abhishek ne 40 runs banaye 28 balls mein, jabki Head 28 balls mein sirf 28 run hi bana paaye.
Will Jacks ne ball se bhi kamal dikhaya – unhone Head aur Ishan Kishan, dono ko out karke SRH ki innings ko jhatka diya. Heinrich Klaasen ne aggressive 37 run (28 balls) banaye, lekin unka wicket Jasprit Bumrah ke ek perfect yorker pe gaya. SRH ne innings 162 par khatam ki.
Rohit Sharma ki tez shuruaat aur Tilak Verma ka finishing touch
Chase mein MI ko Rohit Sharma ne explosive start diya – unka strike rate tha 160+ aur unhone Pat Cummins ki ball pe ek shaandar pull shot mein six bhi maara. Lekin woh sirf 26 run par out ho gaye – interestingly, catch bhi Cummins ne hi liya.
Iske baad Suryakumar Yadav aur Will Jacks ne 52-run ki partnership banayi. SKY out hue 28 pe, aur fir Hardik Pandya aur Tilak Verma ne score aage badhaya. Jab tension badhne lagi aur MI ne 4 wickets kho diye the, tab Hardik aur Tilak ne 34-run ki important partnership jodi.
Pat Cummins ne 3 wickets liye, lekin unki efforts bekaar gayi jab MI ne match jeet liya. Ant mein, Tilak Verma (21* runs) ne winning runs maarke MI ko jeet dilayi, jabki Hardik aur Naman Dhir last moment pe out ho gaye the.
SRH ab agli game ke liye ghar lautegi, jahan unhe comeback karna hoga – warna playoff ka sapna sirf sapna reh jaayega.
