MI vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis
Mumbai Indians face Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede in Match 33 of IPL 2025 on Thursday night. Both teams have found some rhythm after stumbling early in the season and will be looking to build on recent wins. The pitch should favour the batters, and with the kind of hitters both sides have, a run-fest seems likely. MI might just have the edge thanks to the home advantage.Β
TEAMS PREVIEW
Mumbai Indians Preview
Mumbai Indians bounced back in style after a patchy run, pulling off a thrilling 12-run win over second-placed Delhi Capitals. Batting first, they put up 205-5, and then held their nerve with the ball to keep Delhi to 193.
This was the kind of team performance MI had been missing, with nearly everyone stepping up.Β Tilak Varma stood out with a cracking 58 off 33 β his second straight fifty β and with the next match at Wankhede, where he tends to do well, thatβs a good sign.Β That said, the top order still hasnβt really clicked. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had their moments, but havenβt delivered anything game-changing. Rohit Sharma is yet to find rhythm, so expectations around him are muted for now.
Suryakumar Yadav has carried the batting so far. Heβs collected 239 runs from six games at an average of 47.80 and a strike rate of 149.37. He remains central to MIβs chances.Β Hardik Pandya finding some rhythm again helps β he looked sharp finishing off the innings last game and paired well with Naman Dhir, who smashed an unbeaten 38 off 17.
Pandyaβs also contributed with the ball, picking up 10 wickets while going at 8.81 an over. Deepak Chahar has chipped in with five wickets and a decent economy. Boult continues to be dangerous with the new ball and in the final overs.
Jasprit Bumrah had an off day last match, but his presence is still a major plus. Alongside Boult at the death, he gives MI a solid edge in closing out games.Β Santner has kept things steady in the middle, and Vignesh Puthur has quietly picked up six wickets so far.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
After dropping four games in a row, Sunrisers Hyderabad bounced back with a bang, pulling off a wild win over Punjab Kings at home. They chased down a massive 246 in just 18.3 overs, losing only two wickets. Abhishek Sharma went ballistic, hammering 141 off just 55 balls β the third-highest score in IPL history. Travis Head chipped in with 66 off 37, and their 171-run opening stand in just 12.2 overs completely flattened the chase.
This is what SRH can do when their top order clicks. If Abhishek and Head go hard early, theyβve got Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar ready to keep the scoreboard ticking and the boundaries flowing.
Aniket Verma has turned into a reliable contributor β heβs been finding the fence in the middle and late overs and has an eye-catching strike rate of 183 to back that up.
Theyβll love batting at Wankhede, and MIβs attack is going to be under the pump.
Shami and Cummins need to hit their stride fast β both have been off the mark lately, bleeding runs at moments that have hurt the team.Β Harshal Patel has been getting the job done, picking up middle-over wickets with his slower stuff and variations.Β Eshan Malinga has slotted in well too, always looking dangerous with the ball.
Weather Conditions
Wankhede usually offers a flat pitch that favors batters, but thereβs often some early movement under lights, especially with a fresh ball. Fast bowlers can get a bit of help up top before conditions tilt toward the batters. Once that early threat is dealt with, scoring tends to get a lot easier. Spinners, on the other hand, donβt get much to work withβthereβs barely any turn, and the surface doesnβt give them much grip. The deck should stay hard and true, which makes things tough for anyone relying on slower deliveries.
Expect hot and sticky weather in Mumbai, but rain shouldnβt be an issue.
MI vs SRH Pitch Report
Wankhede Stadium typically produces first-innings scores around 170 on average. RCB set the IPL benchmark at this venue back in 2015, smashing 235-1 against MI. This season has seen extremes β 116 one match, then 221-5 the next.Β Given the groundβs reputation for high scores, however, neither side will feel safe unless they push beyond 200.
Toss: To Bowl
Chasing under lights is usually the favourable option at Wankhede, and both teams are likely to look to field first here.
