In one of the most extraordinary nights of IPL cricket, Sunrisers Hyderabad scaled a Himalayan target of 244 at the Wankhede — registering the fourth-highest successful chase in IPL history — to clinch their 100th franchise win in the tournament.

Ryan Rickelton, deputising with the willow for Mumbai Indians in the first innings, then switched allegiances in the most dramatic fashion: his 123* off 55 deliveries for SRH dismantled the Mumbai bowling attack and reduced Jasprit Bumrah to 0/54 — one of the worst returns of the champion pacer’s career.

“SRH’s fifth consecutive win in 2026 extends their unbeaten streak to five — their longest since the legendary 2018 run-chase era.”

Mumbai Indians had put on an imposing show with Rickelton — ironically one of SRH’s own that night — setting a fierce powerplay foundation of 78 runs in 6 overs. But Hyderabad’s batters proved undeterred by the task, completing victory with three balls to spare.
