A destructive assault from Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma helped the Sunrisers Hyderabad overhaul Mumbai Indians target of 243 at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday evening.

With the win, SRH extended its winning streak to five matches, while MI’s Playoff hopes were further dented.

Earlier in the evening, MI captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first. It was a one man show from Ryan Rickelton as the South African brought up his first IPL century (123* off 55 balls) to help MI post a mammoth 243 on the board.

Rickelton’s innings was the highest individual score and also the fastest century (off 44 balls) by an MI batter.

A total of 243 is a tall ask for any team but Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head made it look simple as the pair took the Mumbai Indians bowlers to all parts of the park.

Head and Abhishek said the tone early before Klaasen (65* off 30 balls) added the finishing touches to secure a memorable win for the visitor.
