IPL 2025: MI vs SRH, Match 33 – Amazing highlights, top performances and who was the winner?

Mumbai Indians comfortably beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 4 wickets in Match No. 33 of IPL 2025, and with their 6 points they are at the seventh spot in the points table. MI’s all-round performance made the chase quite easy, despite a little late drama.

MI decided to bowl first and their bowlers performed brilliantly on Wankhede’s slow pitch. Will Jacks (2/14) and Jasprit Bumrah’s (1/21) spell was absolutely perfect. Jacks put SRH under pressure by quickly dismissing Travis Head and Ishan Kishan, while Bumrah did not give any chance to SRH batsmen to score runs with his tight bowling. Abhishek Sharma (40 off 28) gave a good start for SRH, but his game was a bit slow in the middle overs. Late cameos from Heinrich Klaasen (37 off 28) and Aniket Verma took SRH to 162/5. This total seemed a bit low for SRH considering the slow Wankhede pitch.

Mumbai’s batting started with a lot of confidence. Rohit Sharma (26 off 16) and Ryan Rickelton (31 off 23) laid a solid foundation and kept the chase on track. But SRH showed some resistance with Pat Cummins’ double-strike when he put Mumbai in trouble by dismissing Will Jacks (36 off 26) and Suryakumar Yadav (26 off 15) in early stages.

But Hardik Pandya’s cameo of 21 off 9 kept MI on track. Just as it seemed that MI would win the match, there was a little late drama when MI lost two wickets in quick succession when the score became level. Then Tilak Verma showed his calmness and won the match by reverse-sweeping the first ball of the 19th over and scored 21 unbeaten runs.

For SRH, this was their fifth defeat and third consecutive loss in away matches. SRH’s batting started well, but they could not capitalize in the middle overs and missed out on making a big score for Mumbai.

With this win, Mumbai Indians strengthened their position a bit, while SRH need to improve their game before the next match.

Key Moments from MI vs SRH, IPL 2025 Match 33

1. Mumbai’s batsmen easily chased the target without any difficulty.

Mumbai Indians had a memorable night as they chased the target of 163 without any tension. The enthusiasm of the fans was very high in the Wankhede Stadium and the MI batsmen also made their name in the game with the same energy.

In the opening, Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma did not give the SRH bowlers a chance to settle down at all. They added 32 runs in just 4 overs – an attacking and fearless approach which set the mood of the match right from the beginning.

Along with Rickelton, Will Jacks also gave a tremendous exhibition of batting. Together, both kept the SRH bowling line-up under pressure and made full use of every mistake. Jacks bold shots and Rickelton’s calm presence gave MI a solid base in the middle overs.
When Suryakumar Yadav came to the crease, the fielding team felt the momentum might shift in their favour – but SKY showed his classic way of finding the gaps. Getting a boundary in every over seemed to be his routine. His short stay also proved to be quite impactful for MI.

When there was a little pressure in some of ending overs, Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma were at the crease. Both batted with maturity and added the remaining runs comfortably. Hardik showed explosive intent while Tilak played smart cricket to finish the match easily.
This victory was very important for MI, not just for the points table but also for the overall confidence of the team. Everyone from the top order to the finishers played their role and this balance can benefit them in the upcoming matches as well.

2. Will Jacks’ bowling turns out to be a blessing in disguise for MI!

Part-time spinner Will Jacks worked as a hidden gem for MI, coming into bowling after the powerplay and sending big names like Travis Head and Ishan Kishan to the pavilion. He smartly used the conditions of the pitch and made the way easy for the spinners. This performance proved to be game-changing for MI!

3. SRH’s batting performance was very poor in the power play.

SRH’s trusted opening pair, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, did not do much with the bat, especially in the powerplay. With less than eight runs in the first six overs, the pressure remained on the Hyderabad openers. Wankhede is often considered to be a batting friendly ground, but it looked a bit sluggish, offering a lot of help to the spinners. The left-handed duo managed to score just 46 runs in the powerplay without losing a wicket.
