Overview

• Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad hold identical 2–4 records, with playoff hopes hinging on finding consistency in the second half of IPL 2025.
• Jasprit Bumrah’s form remains a focal point for MI, as the star pacer works to regain accuracy after a three-month injury layoff.
• SRH’s batting lineup, led by Abhishek Sharma’s record-breaking 141 in their previous match, presents a formidable challenge for MI’s bowlers.
• Rohit Sharma’s underwhelming season, with only 56 runs in five matches, contrasts with Tilak Varma’s resurgence through consecutive half-centuries.
• Wankhede Stadium’s batting-friendly conditions are expected to favor high scores, with SRH’s top order and MI’s middle order likely to be pivotal.
