IPL 2025 MI vs SRH | Jacks’ all-round show helps MI get the better of SRH

Mumbai Indians registers facile four-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad

Will Jacks displayed his mastery. And the pacers effectively used a tacky pitch up front by taking pace off the ball consistently.

It culminated in Mumbai Indians registering a facile four-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL.

Riding on Jacks’ all-round show, the home team trounced the visiting side with 11 balls to spare to start off a long weekend for Mumbaikars on a happy note at the Wankhede Stadium.

Jacks was obviously the star of the night. Having struggled to leave his footprint in MI’s blues thus far, the Englishman came good in both the departments to set up the victory.

Even before captain Hardik Pandya introduced Jacks into the attack right after the PowerPlay, Karn Sharma had headed back into the dressing room after injuring his hand while lunging forward to catch a drive off Abhishek Sharma’s blade.

Karn’s loss could well have tilted the tide in Sunrisers’ favour, especially with Jasprit Bumrah having bowled two overs in the PowerPlay.

Even though Abhishek and Travis Head were subdued — having played put together their slowest PowerPlay score (46) as a pair — they were not going to waste any time in going after Jacks.
