Head set up Hyderabad’s heady chase of a 244-run target with a quickfire 76 runs off 30 balls, before Klaasen finished off the game in 18.4 overs with 65 not out off 30 deliveries with seven fours and four sixes. They overshadowed Ryan Rickelton’s (123 not out off 55 balls) unbeaten hundred that had earlier led Mumbai to 243 for 5 as the South African left-handed opener smashed the franchise’s fastest-ever century in the IPL.
SRH’s left-handed opening duo of Head and Abhishek Sharma (45) provided a blazing start of 129 in only 8.4 overs before Mumbai grabbed three wickets in space of four runs in the middle overs through spinner Allah Ghazanfar (2-51) and captain Hardik Pandya (1-39).
But Klaasen did not hold back and shared an 80-run stand with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who made 21, and then Salil Arora (30 not out) plundered three sixes and two fours as the SunRisers registered their fifth consecutive win.
Hyderabad moved one notch up to No. 3 on the standings with 12 points while Mumbai, who have lost four of their five home games this season, lie at No. 9 with just two wins from eight games.
MI Vs SRH, IPL 2026: Toss Update
Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bat first. Mumbai made two changes to their playing XI: Ryan Rickelton came in place of fellow South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock, while Robin Minz also donned the MI jersey for the game.
What that meant was that senior pro Rohit Sharma missed out on yet another game for Mumbai. Pandya stated at the toss that Rohit will take a few more days to regain his fitness. "Rohit will need a couple more games, he's trying, but it's not up to the mark," he said.
