Travis Head provided a solid start and made an 18-ball half-century, which was the fastest for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL history. Coming to bat at no. 3, Abhishek Sharma broke that record just a few minutes later and smashed a 16-ball fifty. After that, Heinrich Klaasen displayed some brilliant power-hitting and made 80 not out off 34 balls to take the team's total to 277 runs, which is the highest for any team in the IPL. He hit seven 6s and four 4s in his unbeaten inning.

The Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians started with positive intent and smashed 138 runs after 10 overs and it looked possible since Tilak Verma was already unbeaten after scoring a 24-ball half-century.

Mumbai Indians could only manage 246 runs after 20 overs and lost the match by 31 runs. It is their second consecutive loss of the season. The young left-arm pacer Kwena Maphaka, who made his IPL debut leaked 66 runs in four overs. Another South African, Gerald Coetzee also went for 57 runs but took the important wicket of Travis Head.
