Rohit Sharma slammed 70 in 46 balls as Mumbai Indians dealt Sunrisers Hyderabad a seven-wicket thrashing in their IPL match in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
It was MI's fourth win in a row and took them to third spot in the table, while SRH were a dismal ninth, just ahead of Chennai Super Kings on net run rate.
Chasing a meagre 144, Mumbai lost Ryan Rickelton for 11 in the second over when Jaydev Unadkat took a return catch.
Rohit and Will Jacks then added 64 for the second wicket before the latter holed out to Abhinav Manohar at long-on off Zeeshan Ansari for 22.
Soon afterwards, Rohit reached his fifty off 35 balls. Interestingly, it was the first time since 2016 that Rohit has made two successive fifties in the IPL.
Rohit was finally dismissed with just 14 runs needed, caught at midwicket by Abhishek Sharma off Eshan Malinga.
Suryakumar Yadav then finished off the game, remaining unbeaten on 40 off just 19 balls as MI cruised to victory with 4.2 overs to spare.
Earlier, Heinrich Klaasen slammed a classy 71 in 44 balls to lift Sunrisers Hyderabad to 143/8 after a horror start.
Klaasen and impact player Abhinav Manohar added 99 for the sixth wicket after SRH were reduced to 35/5. Manohar chipped in with 43 off 37 balls.
Mumbai Indians had ripped through the Sunrisers Hyderabad top order after opting to bowl first.
Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar grabbed two wickets each as SRH crumbled to 13/4 in a dream start for MI.
Travis Head was the first to go, skying a Boult delivery into the hands of Naman Dhir at deep backward point for a four-ball duck.
Chahar struck in the next over, having Ishan Kishan caught down the leg side by wicket keeper Ryan Rickelton for one.
Abhishek Sharma joined the procession back to the dugout after making eight, offering a catch to Vignesh Puthur at point to give Boult his second wicket.
It was then Chahar's turn to strike again, with Nitish Reddy giving a catch to Mitchell Santner at mid-on after making two.
Heinrich Klaasen and Aniket Verma briefly stemmed the rot by adding 22. Hardik Pandya then brought himself on and struck with his third ball, having Verma caught behind by Rickelton for 12.
With the score at 35/5, SRH were forced to activate their impact player, bringing in Manohar in place of Head.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to bowl against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Both sides have made one change. MI have brought back Vignesh Puthur in place of Ashwani Kumar, while Jaydev Unadkat is in the starting XI for SRH instead of Mohammed Shami who features in the impact player list.
