Sunrisers Hyderabad’s chase at the Wankhede on Wednesday delivered a string of standout IPL numbers, from a record-breaking six-hitting surge to major franchise milestones. The night featured a target of 244, a powerplay that went wild, and Mumbai Indians posting a total that ultimately proved out of reach.
Quick facts
- 244 was the chase target SRH reached, the fourth-highest in IPL history and the top mark in any T20 game at the Wankhede.
- 32 sixes were struck in the match, the highest ever in an IPL game at the venue.
- 170 runs came in the powerplays across both innings (92 for SRH and 78 for Mumbai Indians).
- 92 runs were conceded by MI in the powerplay, matching their joint-most leaked in an IPL game.
- 54 runs were conceded by Jasprit Bumrah in his four overs.
- 132 is Bumrah’s bowling average in the IPL season so far (two wickets for 264 runs in 30 overs).
- 243 was MI’s total—their highest score when batting first.
- 100 is the number of IPL wins for SRH, counting Super Over victories.
The 244 chase is the fourth-highest successful pursuit in IPL history and also the highest target achieved in any T20 match at the Wankhede. For SRH, it ranks as their second-best chase ever, with the top spot held by the 246 they chased against Punjab Kings (PBKS) last year. Three of the top five chases in IPL history have happened this season, and each of those five include either PBKS or SRH.
Six-hitting was a headline feature as well, with 32 maximums landing in the game on Wednesday—the most ever recorded in an IPL match at the Wankhede. There has been only one occasion of more sixes in any T20 at this venue, and it came in an international fixture last month, when India faced England and the contest produced 34 sixes. Within IPL 2026, the match is tied for the second-highest six count: Delhi Capitals (DC) and PBKS struck 33 sixes, while PBKS against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) saw 32.
Powerplay pressure
Another major talking point was the opening surge: 170 runs were scored in total during the powerplays across both innings on Wednesday—92 for SRH and 78 for Mumbai Indians. Only once has a higher powerplay total been registered in any T20 at the Wankhede. That came in a 2016 T20 World Cup match between England and South Africa, when 172 runs were put on in the first phase. The IPL record is also closely matched, with an earlier 170-run powerplay in 2014 when Chennai Super Kings played Kings XI Punjab.
For Mumbai Indians, the powerplay numbers were particularly costly. They conceded 92 runs in that phase, which is the joint-most they have allowed in an IPL match. MI have also leaked 92 in the powerplay before, doing the same against DC in 2024.
Even with those figures, it’s worth noting where the performance sits within the wider season context: this powerplay output is only the fifth-highest team total in IPL 2026 at the Wankhede. PBKS lead the list with 116 versus DC, while SRH recorded 105 against PBKS.
Bumrah’s workload
Jasprit Bumrah’s spell also carried a set of extremes. He gave away 54 runs in his four overs. Only three times has he conceded more in any T20 match, with two of those instances coming in the IPL—56 against CSK in 2021 and 55 against Delhi Daredevils in 2015. His most expensive outing in that comparison also arrived in 2026, when he leaked 58 against New Zealand in Thiruvananthapuram. The five sixes Bumrah surrendered is a joint-worst for him as well, since he had previously conceded five in IPL 2015 against Daredevils.
Bumrah’s season marks add another layer. His bowling average in IPL 2026 stands at 132, based on figures of two wickets for 264 runs across 30 overs. That makes it the worst average among all bowlers who have delivered at least 25 overs in the season.
MI’s big first-innings statement
Mumbai Indians posted 243, their highest total when batting first. The franchise have produced two higher totals—247 and 246—but both of those ended in unsuccessful chases. Because of the result against SRH, MI’s three biggest first-innings scores have all come in defeats.
With the bat, Ryan Rickelton delivered a standout effort against SRH, scoring the highest by an MI batter in the head-to-head match-up. His total of 123 is the new benchmark, moving past Sanath Jayasuriya’s unbeaten 114 from the inaugural IPL season. The next best for MI is also by a left-handed opener: Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 112 against PBKS a couple of weeks earlier.
As the chase unfolded and the margins tightened, SRH also reached a key milestone in the competition. Their 100th IPL win came in this game’s context, with the tally including victories secured in Super Overs. SRH become only the eighth team to reach 100 IPL wins when counting those extra-time results.
