Sunrisers Hyderabad faced a tough challenge in their IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday as they lost four wickets in the PowerPlay for the third time in the history of the Indian Premier League. This was a disappointing start for SRH, the runner-up from last year, as they ended the PowerPlay with a score of 24/4 in six overs, marking it as their fourth-lowest PowerPlay total in IPL history. Despite this setback, Abhinav Manohar and Heinrich Klaasen played crucial innings to help the struggling batting side post a decent total of 143 against MI.
This was not the first time Sunrisers Hyderabad had faced such a situation in the IPL. In previous matches, they had also lost four or more wickets in the PowerPlay. Some notable instances include 25/4 against PWI on April 17, 2013, at the Sahara Stadium, and 29/5 against RR on April 27, 2013, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Despite the early setbacks, SRH showed resilience and determination to put up a fight against MI. The contributions from Manohar and Klaasen were crucial in ensuring that they were able to set a competitive total on the board. It was a reminder of the team’s ability to bounce back from difficult situations and showcase their fighting spirit on the field.
