Cricket Highlights, April 17: IPL 2025 (33rd Match) – SRH vs MI

SRH vs MI (33rd Match) – Highlights

In a high-energy encounter at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on April 17, 2025, MI clinched a solid four-wicket victory over SRH in the 33rd match of the Indian Premier League. With a well-balanced display of power-hitting and effective bowling, MI successfully chased down the 163-run target with 11 balls to spare, giving their playoff ambitions a timely boost.

Put in to bat first, SRH began with promise as Abhishek Sharma gave them a quick start, scoring 40 off 28 balls with seven boundaries. Travis Head, although slower than usual, managed 28 off 29 deliveries, ensuring a stable opening partnership. However, the middle overs saw SRH lose momentum, largely due to disciplined bowling by Mumbai. 

Will Jacks turned the tide with a terrific spell, taking two key wickets – including Head and Ishan Kishan – and conceding just 14 runs in his three overs. Heinrich Klaasen added a fiery 37 off 28, injecting some much-needed urgency into the innings. Aniket Verma’s unbeaten 18 off just 8 balls, along with a brief cameo from captain Pat Cummins, helped SRH reach 162 for 5 in their 20 overs.

MI started their chase on a positive and aggressive note, making an opening partnership of 32, before Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 26 runs off 16 balls, caught by Travis Head off the bowling of Toby Cudmore, followed by Rickelton, who scored 31 runs. Once again, Will Jacks made a unique contribution. Along with being an important all-rounder in the victory of MI, he contributed 36 off 26 balls, with three fours and two sixes, providing stability in the middle overs.

However, it was Will Jacks who once again made a significant impact. His all-round performance proved crucial to MI’s victory, as he scored a vital 36 off 26 balls, including three fours and two sixes, and played a key role in steadying the ship during the middle overs.

The fireworks kept coming as Suryakumar Yadav played a quickfire 26 from just 15 balls, keeping the required run rate in check. Captain Hardik Pandya then took charge with a fiery 21 off 9 balls, smashing three boundaries and a six before falling to Eshan Malinga. Though there was a slight wobble with two wickets falling in the 18th over, Tilak Varma remained calm and led Mumbai Indians to victory with 11 balls to spare.
