Head set up Hyderabad’s whirlwind chase of 249-4 in 18.4 with 76 runs off 30 balls before Klaasen finished off the game with 65 not out off 30 balls with seven fours and four sixes. They overshadowed Ryan Rickelton’s unbeaten 123 off 55 balls that had earlier led Mumbai to 243-5 as the South African left-handed opener smashed Mumbai’s fastest-ever century in the IPL off 44 balls. Hyderabad’s left-handed opening pair of Head and Abhishek Sharma (45) provided a blazing start of 129 in only 8.4 overs before Mumbai grabbed three wickets in space of four runs in the middle overs through spinner Allah Ghazanfar (2-51) and captain Hardik Pandya (1-39). But Klaasen didn’t hold back and shared an 80-run stand with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who made 21, and then Salil Arora (30 not out) plundered three sixes and two fours as Hyderabad notched its fifth straight win. Hyderabad moved one place up to No. 3 on the points table with 12 points while Mumbai, which has lost four of its five home games at Wankhede Stadium this season, is at No. 9 with just two wins from eight games. \\\_ AP cricket:
