SRH vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face off against Mumbai Indians (MI) at Uppal on Wednesday night in Match 41 of IPL 2025. MI had a rough start to the season but have now stitched together three wins in a row and climbed to sixth in the table. SRH are still struggling, with just two wins from seven games and no real rhythm to their campaign. Those two wins did come at home, though, and theyโll be hoping familiar conditions work in their favor again. That said, with the way MI have been playing lately, they go into this one looking like the more settled team.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a rough run so farโjust two wins from seven games. When theyโve come out on top, itโs been because their batters blew the doors off the opposition. But if the top order falls early, they tend to fold fast and never really recover.
Thatโs what theyโll be hoping to avoid when they host MI. If Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head get going early, like theyโve done in a couple of games, it sets them up nicely for a big total. Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar follow, and while all three havenโt fired this season, thereโs still confidence that Klaasenโs power game can turn up here.
Aniket Verma has been a bright spot. Heโs been clearing the ropes in the back end of the innings and doing it with a strike rate of 187. Theyโll enjoy the batting conditions in Hyderabad, and MIโs bowlers are going to feel the pressure.
Mumbai Indians Preview
Mumbai Indians have bounced back well after a rough stretch, stacking up three wins in a row to climb to sixth with eight points from eight games. In their latest game, they chased down 177 against CSK at home without breaking a sweatโgetting it done in just 15.4 overs with nine wickets in hand.
Theyโve finally clicked as a unit, with contributions spread across the board. The top orderโRickelton, Jacks, and Rohitโstill have their shaky moments, but are putting up enough runs up front. Rohitโs 76* off 45 against CSK was a much-needed return to form, and it sets a good tone going forward.
The middle and lower-middle order have been where the real push is coming from. Suryakumar Yadav has been in prime touchโ333 runs in eight matches at 55.50 and a strike rate of 162.43. He looked effortless in his last outing, smashing 68* off 30, and will be confident heading into Hyderabad. Expect more of the same.
Tilak Varmaโs been looking sharp too, with two fifties in his last three knocks. Heโs another batter who can tilt the game.
Towards the back end, Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir can cause damage if they get enough balls. Both are capable of clearing the ropes in quick time.
Weather Conditions
The surface at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is usually flat, but some of the strips used in IPL 2025 have played unevenly. Pitch number two, though, sticks to the usual Uppal scriptโitโs great for batting. Chances are the home team will go with that one. If they do, expect another high-scoring game. Itโs a nightmare for bowlers with no movement or grip to work with. The ball sits up nicely, making it easy for batters to hit through the line. Add in the short boundaries, and weโre looking at a match full of boundaries and big hits.
Conditions in Hyderabad will be warm and humid, but thereโs no rain in the forecast, so the match should go ahead without interruptions.
SRH vs MI Pitch Report
If pitch number two is used for this game, expect runs galore as both teams will aim for at least 220+ totals. We’ve seen this surface twice already this season – the first time, Sunrisers Hyderabad hammered 286-6 while batting first and won by 44 runs. The second time around, they chased down 246 with 1.3 overs to spare. The challenge for SRH comes on slower pitches, where their batting unit tends to struggle badly as they’re not built for those types of wickets.
