IPL 2025: Klaasen Rescue Act Propels Hyderabad To 143/8 After Top-order Collapse
Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: A 99-run partnership for the sixth wicket between Heinrich Klaasen and Abhinav Manohar after the initial collapse of 13/4 propelled Sunrisers Hyderabad to 143/8 in 20 overs against Mumbai Indians in Match 41 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium here on Wednesday.
After being asked to bat first, SRH found themselves in trouble right from the outset. In the very first over, Abhishek Sharma got a lucky reprieve. Deepak Chahar, getting the ball to swing prodigiously, induced a mishit drive, only to drop a return catch off a low full-toss. It was a regulation chance that went down, setting the tone for a sloppy SRH start.
Trent Boult, operating from the other end, struck with his second ball. Travis Head, aiming to go over mid-off, was deceived by a lovely outswinger and ended up slicing it squarer than intended. Naman Dhir judged it well, running in from a deep backward point to complete the catch and send Head back for a duck. The early breakthrough unsettled SRH, and the wickets kept tumbling.
