After a thrilling super-over encounter in the capital city of Delhi, between the hosts Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, the eyes now shift to another city in the west, Mumbai. In the match number 33 of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025, the Mumbai Indians will take on the hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The Wankhede Stadium on April 17, Thursday will witness a grand spectacle as two rather struggling teams will clash against each other to go up the standings in the points table. Both Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad ended their losing streaks in their respective last matches and gained some much-needed confidence.
As they gear up for their next clash, both teams will be eager to sustain their winning momentum and secure another crucial win with the tournament nearing its halfway stage in less than a week.
Interestingly, both sides are coming into this game having scored 200-plus in their previous outing, which gives a potential to make it a high-run encounter for the Wankhede spectators also. Mumbai Indians secured a close-knit12-run win against Delhi Capitals in their most recent fixture, with their mind-blowing bowling performance. The Hardik Pandya led side has two wins and four defeats in six matches so far in IPL 2025.
The Sunrisers have managed to secure two wins and four defeats from six games this season. However, their net run rate is not as good as that of MI. The Orange Army ended their four-match losing streak by registering a thumping win against Punjab Kings in the last game.
Pat Cummins and his men chased down a 246-run target in front of their home fans. With two strong franchises lurking at four points, only net run rate separates them on the points table. This clash will set the stage for a crucial phase, as MI and SRH will play against each other twice in six days. So far, the sides have locked horns in 23 matches, out of which SRH has won 10 times whereas MI have come out victorious on 13 occasions.
Game Condition:
The iconic Wankhede Stadium is known to be a batting paradise. In the last game between MI and Delhi Capitals, as many as 398 runs were scored in 39 overs.
With Mumbai Indians now set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad, fans can surely expect a run-fest on the cards tonight, as both teams have some big hitters in their lineup.
