Sunrisers Hyderabad bagged a memorable 31-run victory against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2024 and registered their first points on the table. A very high-scoring game in the history of IPL saw records shatter like made of glass. SRH batted first in the game, scoring a mammoth 277/3 in their 20 overs. Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen and Abhishek Sharma showed their batting heroics guiding them to the total. Chasing it, Mumbai Indians got off a great start too but lost a bit of momentum in the middle and it was enough for them to end comfortably short of the finishing line. Sunrisers Hyderabad Beats Mumbai Indians by 31 Runs in IPL 2024: Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head's Heroics Help SRH Achieve Dominant Victory Against MI in Record-Breaking Encounter.

After Hardik Pandya opted to bowl first, SRH started all guns blazing with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma smashing them all around the park. Head raced to his half-century in no time and was followed by Abhishek. Their foundation gave a solid start to SRH and Heinrich Klaasen alongside Aiden Markam build on it guiding them to a humongous 277/3.

Chasing it, MI started strongly with Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan taking on the SRH bowling. Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir carried on the momentum provided by them. But a spell of four overs in the middle where Hardik Pandya struggled to get going sealed the fate for Mumbai Indians and some big hitting in the end by Tim David couldn't save them from the loss.
