The upcoming tri-series between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings begins this week at the bottom half of the IPL 2025 table while they play each team twice to three times. The Wankhede Stadium sets the stage for Mumbai Indians to face Sunrisers Hyderabad after Sunrisers recorded a recent victory against Punjab Kings.
The upcoming matches this week will establish whether bottom teams can increase their position against the middle section before the IPL season concludes. The current phase stands as the decisive part of the IPL league stage until the final games begin. MI and SRH seek to reduce the gap between them and their IPL competition by earning two successive victories against their higher-ranked rivals.
This game will become a decisive matchup because it determines which team holds the next position for playoff qualification after teams currently in the zone. Sunrisers offensively delivered a fantastic contest with Travis Head alongside Abhishek Sharma dominating the batting while Abhishek played his inaugural game since his historic 141.
The Mumbai Indians expressed their championship DNA through their improbable victory over the high-flying Delhi Capitals to claim yet another IPL crown. Both batting and Jasprit Bumrah received challenges during the match yet the batting showed moments of weakening together with Bumrah facing the statement return to form by Karun Nair.
Zeeshan Ansari to Tilak Varma, FOUR, and a reverse sweep ends the game. Puts an end to the delay for MI. Malinga delayed the inevitable. But Tilak Varma decided to preempt the reverse paddle and got it between short third and point. Well placed and MI have two wins on the bounce now. They go to three wins from 7 games
Eshan Malinga to Tilak Varma, FOUR, very full, outside off, gets under it, lofts it over mid-off for a four. That was sweetly timed by Tilak Varma
Cummins to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, to mid-wicket
Cummins to Will Jacks, out Caught by Zeeshan Ansari!! Third one for Cummins. Was a slower one, outside off, slapped down to the man at mid-off. That was wide, well outside off, the batter tried to infuse power into the shot but failed to keep it down. The fielder stayed low on his haunches and takes it. Will Jacks tried to target the area over mid-off but he failed to do so just like SKY earlier. Cummins has done so well.
Cummins to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Zeeshan Ansari at straight down the ground!!
Eshan Malinga to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, short ball, slower, outside off, Suryakumar Yadav latches on to it and slaps it over point. That
Zeeshan Ansari to Will Jacks, SIX, to long-on
Zeeshan Ansari to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, flatter one, down leg, Suryakumar Yadav slams it over fine leg. Sat down, found it down leg and threw his hands at it to let the ball fly over fine leg
Harshal Patel to Rickelton, out Caught by Head!! Rolls his fingers on that, bowls it very wide, Rickelton chased it and edged it. The ball went up, Head at point circled under it and took it. No luck for Rickelton this time. His charmed knock comes to an end. His date with lady luck has ended.

Shami to Rickelton, no run
Hardik Pandya to Cummins, SIX, to backward square leg
Hardik Pandya to Aniket Verma, SIX, to deep extra cover
Bumrah to Klaasen, out Bowled!! The off stump has been uprooted as the dangerous Klaasen is sent back by Bumrah! He has missed a full toss here. But as with Bumrah, his full tosses aren't that easy to hit because of the lift he gets. It's fast, angled in,
Boult to Nitish Reddy, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Nitish holes out in the deep as Sunrirsers' struggles continue. Nitish Reddy c Tilak Varma b Boult 19(21) [4s-1]

Hardik Pandya to Nitish Reddy, no run
Will Jacks to Head, out Caught by Santner!! Second wicket for Jacks. Head's struggles comes to an end. He really struggled to get going and finally holes out in the deep. Flighted outside off, Head has to reach to play the lofted drive and the bottom hand comes off the bat handle,
Boult to Nitish Reddy, 1 run, fullish delivery around off, Reddy chips it back over Boult and it is only a single
Will Jacks to Ishan Kishan, out Stumped!! Kishan's horror run after that hundred continues.. He falls for a single digit score once again. A former player does not come back to haunt Mumbai Indians. This was beautifully bowled by Jacks, he saw Kishan shimmy down and kept it outside off,
Hardik Pandya to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by (sub)Raj Bawa!! And Hardik strikes.
Hardik Pandya to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, poor delivery and dispatched. It might have slipped out of Hardik's hand because he clutches his leg immediately. Juicy full toss outside off, Abhishek slices it over backward point and encashes the freebie
Bumrah to Head, 1 run, slower ball on off, Head makes room and forces it wide of mid-off, just a single
Chahar to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, very full delivery outside off, Abhishek opens the bat face and squeezes it square of the wicket. The reliance was more on timing than on power and hence a boundary for Abhishek
Bumrah to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, very fine

Boult to Head, FOUR, to long-off
