Match: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians
Date: Wednesday, April 23, 2025
Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Match Overview
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on the in-form Mumbai Indians (MI) in a crucial encounter of IPL 2025. After being defeated by MI earlier in the season, Pat Cummins’ SRH will be out for revenge as they try to climb off the lower end of the table.
Team Form
SRH have managed only 2 wins from 7 games and are languishing in 9th place. Their dependency on Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head has made their batting fragile, while the bowling unit—barring Harshal Patel and Eshan Malinga—has struggled.
MI are on a three-match winning streak and currently sit at 6th with 8 points. Hardik Pandya’s men have clicked as a unit in recent games and look determined to build on their momentum.
SRH vs MI Head-to-Head
Out of 24 matches, Mumbai Indians have the upper hand with 14 wins, while SRH have won 10.
