IPL 2025, Match 33: Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Preview

The Mumbai Indians (MI) will be ready to take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 17 at the Wankhede Stadium. This will be an important game for both teams, who are currently in a tough spot in the tournament and are fighting to keep their chances in the playoffs alive.

The Mumbai Indians might have won an exciting game against the Delhi Capitals at the Kotla, but they still have a long journey ahead of them to fix a place in the IPL 2025 playoffs. The Hardik Pandya-led side is currently seventh on the table with two wins and four losses in the tournament.

It is almost a similar story for the Sunrisers, who are also struggling at the ninth position and, like the Mumbai franchise, they have won only two games. The side led by World champion skipper Pat Cummins will also be hoping to capitalise on the high-scoring chase they achieved in the high-scoring classic against the Punjab Kings in Hyderabad, where they achieved the second highest chase in the tournament.

Match Details

Pitch Report

The Wankhede Stadium has always been known as a ground where the chasing team has benefited the most due to the flat nature of the surface and the high scores being chased. Though the last game was won by the team defending the total, it still showed how much it helped the batters as the wicket seemed to get better as the game continued.
