SRH vs MI, IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians have defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 4 wickets to secure their third win of the season. SRH, after the high of Uppal a few days ago, have come crashing down to reality once again. Only a few days ago, SRH chased down 242 against Punjab Kings. But their batters, barring Abhishek Sharma, struggled throughout the match, while their bowlers could not dominate Mumbai on a slow pitch despite setting a 163-run target.
Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head gave SRH a slow start on a difficult Mumbai pitch. The two slogged it to 46/0 in the powerplay. While Abhishek still took advantage of the powerplay, scoring 28-ball 40, they struggled in the middle-overs, scoring only 59 runs. Thanks to Heinrich Klaasen’s 20-run hammering of Deepak Chahar and Aniket Verma’s brisk 8-ball 18, SRH posted 162/5.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium pitch is renowned as a batting paradise, offering true bounce and short boundaries that favour aggressive stroke-play. The average first innings score in IPL 2024 at this venue was around 186, indicating high-scoring encounters. Pacers can find early swing under the lights with the new ball, particularly in the first few overs, but the pitch tends to flatten out as the game progresses.
Spinners may get some assistance, but the surface generally rewards batters. Teams batting first have a slight edge, with captains likely to opt for setting a target due to the pitch’s batting-friendly nature. The weather is expected to be warm and humid, with no rain interruptions forecast.
MI vs SRH Match Preview
Both SRH and MI are struggling in IPL 2025, each with only two wins from six matches, placing them in the bottom half of the points table (MI at 7th with a net run rate of +0.10, SRH at 9th with -1.24). This match is critical for both teams to revive their playoff hopes. MI, coming off a 12-run victory against Delhi Capitals, will rely on their home advantage and a potent pace attack led by Jasprit Bumrah. However, concerns linger over Rohit Sharma’s form (56 runs in 5 matches).
SRH, buoyed by a stunning 246-run chase against Punjab Kings, showcased their batting firepower with Abhishek Sharma’s 55-ball 141. Their pace-heavy bowling, featuring Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami, will aim to exploit early conditions. Expect a high-scoring game given the batting depth of both sides and Wankhede’s flat track.
