Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face Mumbai Indians (MI) in 41st match of IPL 2025. The match will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Previously, MI defeated SRH by four wickets.
SRH Face a Tough Season
So far, SRH have had a disappointing campaign. They have won only two of their seven matches. As a result, they sit in ninth place with just four points.
Their batting depends heavily on openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. However, if they fail, the rest of the lineup struggles.
Furthermore, their bowling unit hasn’t clicked. Mohammed Shami has failed to impress. On the other hand, Harshal Patel and Eshan Malinga have performed well. Therefore, the team will rely on them once again.
MI Turn Things Around
Initially, Mumbai had a poor start, winning just one of their first five games. Interestingly, they lost twice by 12 runs—against LSG and RCB.
However, they bounced back strongly. They beat Delhi Capitals by 12 runs, marking the start of their comeback.
Then, they claimed convincing wins over SRH and CSK. As a result, they now have strong momentum. Hence, they will aim to dominate SRH once again and climb up the points table.
Head-to-Head Record
Historically, MI hold the upper hand. They have won 14 out of 24 matches against SRH.
Team Updates
Karn Sharma hurt his finger in the last game against SRH. Therefore, his availability is uncertain.
Meanwhile, SRH have no injury issues.
Pitch and Weather Outlook
The pitch in Hyderabad heavily favors batters. In fact, scores above 220 have been common here.
Thus, another high-scoring match is expected.
In terms of weather, the day will be hot and humid. Temperatures may range from 31°C to 37°C.
Humidity in the evening could bring dew. Consequently, the toss-winning captain may choose to bowl first.
