IPL 2025: MI vs SRH Match Prediction, Who Will Win Today IPL Match 33?

The Mumbai Indians (MI) are slightly ahead in the head-to-head records against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the MI vs SRH clashes of the IPL.

The 33rd fixture between the two struggling sides will occur on April 17, 2025, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, as both of them, after fantastic victories respectively, look to extend the momentum in the campaign.

For any side to do well in the shortest format, their batting in the powerplay (first six overs) becomes such an important job. The openers need to free their arms to smash the big shots around the park so that the middle order will have the momentum to work on the advantage.

Mumbai Indians are at number seven in terms of strike rate of 146.76 inside the first six overs. In six innings, they have collected 317 runs at an average of 28.82, besides losing 11 wickets in the process. That’s the second-most joint wickets a team has lost during the period.

One of the reasons for the five-time champions’ struggle before the MI vs SRH fixture is Rohit Sharma’s form.

It’s a huge concern for the franchise that the veteran hasn’t found the desired runs under his belt so far. They have so many top-order players in the ranks, and to put them in the right position is also a challenge for the management.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad has blasted 351 runs in the powerplay in six innings at an average of 29.25 at a strike rate of 162.50, which is the second-joint best among all ten sides. But their issue is around the 12 wickets they have lost. That means the middle order finds themselves against the new ball regularly.

However, going into the MI vs SRH clash, Abhishek Sharma’s terrific form of 141 runs and the 171-run opening stand with Travis Head will give them a huge advantage against the Hardik Pandya-led side at the Wankhede Stadium.
