**Mumbai, April 17, 2025** – The Mumbai Indians secured a thrilling four-wicket victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium today, their third win of IPL 2025. Chasing a challenging 163, Mumbai reached the target with 11 balls to spare, but not without a nail-biting finish.
The match saw a late surge of excitement. With Mumbai needing just one run for victory, Hardik Pandya was dismissed, triggering a tense period where they struggled to score the winning run. Despite the late drama, Tilak Varma eventually hit a boundary to secure the win for Mumbai in the 19th over.
While the win improved Mumbai’s net run rate significantly (+0.239 compared to +0.104 before the match), they remain in seventh place on the points table. Their slow finish cost them a better position. For Hyderabad, this was their fifth defeat in seven matches, a setback after a recent win against Punjab. They now face a must-win situation in their remaining games to stay in contention for the playoffs.
