Sunrisers Hyderabad hit the highest total in Indian Premier League (IPL) history yesterday, posting 277-3 against Mumbai Indians, setting the stage for a 31-run win.
Hyderabad surpassed the previous record of 263-5, set by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013, propelled by Heinrich Klaasen’s unbeaten knock of 80 runs from 34 balls.
Travis Head (62) scored his half-century in 18 balls, a franchise record for the fastest fifty, before Abhishek Sharma (63) scored his in 16 balls.
Mumbai started the chase well, but the five-time champions fell well short, posting 246-5.
