Sunrisers Hyderabad Post Highest Score in IPL History

Sunrisers Hyderabad smashed 277 for 3 – the highest total in Indian Premier League history – in a record-breaking 31-run victory against Mumbai Indians.

Opener Travis Head hit 62 from 24 balls, Abhishek Sharma a 23-ball 63 and Heinrich Klaasen 80 not out from 34.

They took Sunrisers beyond the previous IPL record, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s 263 for 5 in 2013.

Mumbai made a decent fist of the chase, making the match the highest-scoring T20 in history, but ended on 246 for 5.

Sunrisers’ total was also the fourth highest in any men’s T20 and the highest in a T20 franchise tournament.

The men’s T20 record is held by Nepal, who scored 314 for 3 against Mongolia last year.

Afghanistan made 278 for 3 against Ireland in 2019, while the Czech Republic posted 278 for 4 against Hungary later that year.
