After initial jitters, Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians has now found its rhythm, registering a dominant fourth consecutive win to continue its mid-season surge.
The bowlers once again rose to the occasion, limiting Sunrisers Hyderabad to a modest 143, and the MI batters easily chased down the target, with more than four overs to spare.
Senior pacer Trent Boult was pleased with his team’s performance, acknowledging their growing confidence.
“Four consecutive wins were crucial for us to build some momentum. But we’re not looking too far ahead; we’re just focused on continuing to take it game by game”, said Boult in the post match press conference.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, coming off a half-century against Chennai Super Kings, continued his red-hot form. His ability to time the ball perfectly on a tricky surface helped MI take control of the chase.
Suryakumar Yadav finished the game in style, ensuring that SRH’s misery continued as Mumbai cruised to victory. With its fourth straight win, MI moved to third on the points table, and its Net Run Rate improved to 0.673.
