IPL 2025: Match 41, SRH vs MI Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians?

Match Overview

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) continue their ongoing campaign by taking on Mumbai Indians (MI) in their upcoming match. Both sides will face off at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad in the 41st game of the tournament on Wednesday, April 23. 

Sunrisers will be coming into the clash after losing their last match against the same opposition by four wickets. The previous edition’s finalists haven’t had an ideal season, losing five out of their seven games and are sitting at the ninth position on the points table. Hyderabad’s only hope to make it to the top four is if they win all their remaining six games. Notably, another loss will most likely dent their chances further, keeping them only mathematically in the race.

On the other hand, MI have picked up the pace after enduring early defeats and are currently sixth on the table with four wins. Hardik Pandya has led his troops well and has given his side a good chance to secure a playoff berth. They are currently on a three-match winning streak and will hope to build on it further.

Match Details

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad has been a batting paradise in IPL 2025, with scores over 200 becoming common. Known for its flat surface, it heavily favours aggressive batters early on. However, the surface tends to dry out as the game progresses, bringing both pacers and spinners into play. Dew in the second innings makes chasing a decent option. However, in the four games played this season, teams batting first have come out victorious on three occasions.

Probable Best Batter: Travis Head

SRH opener Travis Head could be the best batter in the upcoming game against MI. With 242 runs in his last seven matches, Head is the highest run-getter for his side in the tournament, and his performance will be crucial against the five-time champions. The southpaw has already scored two half-centuries and has given his side good starts. The Orange Army will desperately want the Australian to take on Mumbai bowlers and hammer them all around the park.

Probable Best Bowler: Jasprit Bumrah

Ace MI pacer Jasprit Bumrah could play a crucial role in the game against SRH. The right-arm pacer who missed the first few games has looked decent so far. In four games that he played, Bumrah has managed to bag four wickets, including figures of 1/21 against the Hyderabad franchise in Wankhede. The former champions will bank on their star bowler to tackle Hyderabad’s dangerous batting-order.
