Mumbai reached the required total in just 13.1 overs, largely thanks to Suryakumar’s aggressive approach at the crease. Entering the match at No. 4, he dominated the bowling attack, striking six fours and five sixes. His half-century was reached in a rapid 15 balls, setting the tone for a clinical run chase that left Hyderabad with little response.
