Match number 33 in Indian Premier League IPL 2025 season will witness two sides who have made a slow start to the campaign. Mumbai Indians are set to host Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium in what is expected to be a run-fest of sorts. Both sides ended their run of losses with key wins in the last games to pull themselves out of the hole.
Mumbai Indians led by Hardik Pandya defeated the unbeaten Delhi Capitals by 12 runs in their last match. Three run-outs in three balls meant that MI pulled off a huge win that propelled them seventh in the table. So far, the five-time IPL winners have played six game and won two to get four points with a run-rate of +0.104
Abhishek Sharma’s 141 helped SRH record the second-best chase in the history of the tournament in the last game. Pat Cummins in particular will look to take a huge inspiration from the last game and head into Wankhede Stadium and look to continue the winning run. SRH are ninth in the table with four points from six games but their net run-rate is in the negative.

Most Runs
India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav scored an unbeaten century in the last MI vs SRH game in Mumbai. Yadav scored 102 runs from 51 balls and helped Mumbai win the game against the high-flying Hyderabad last season.
The 34-year-old has been unbeaten in the last two innings against SRH at the Wankhede Stadium with a total of 127 runs. Yadav’s strike-rate in the last two games against SRH at the Wankhede Stadium is 189.5
Most wickets
Veteran seamer Harshal Patel is likely to end up with most wickets in the MI vs SRH game on Thursday. The 34-year-old has picked 24 wickets versus MI which is the most he has picked against any single side in the IPL.
Patel played a key role with the ball in the last game versus PBKS taking four wickets for 42 runs from his four overs. Harshal’s best IPL figures of 5/27 came against MI during the 2021 season when he was part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Prediction for Player of the Match (POTM)
Considering his current form with the bat, Abhishek Sharma is very much a favorite to be named man of the match. Last time, the young batter played at this venue, Sharma scored a ton for India in the T20I game against England. Abhishek Sharma will like the conditions in Mumbai where the pitches have aided high run-scoring possibilities.
MI vs SRH Match Prediction
Sunrisers Hyderabad are slight favorites to win the game considering the strong batting talents that they have at their disposal. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klassen, and young Aniket Verma will be keen to showcase their might with the bat.
Pat Cummins will be hopeful that Harshal Patel, Eshan Malinga, and Zeeshan Ansari can do the trick with the ball. Former MI star Ishan Kishan will be the player to watch out for as he returns to a venue where he played for seven seasons.
