The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are ready to take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 41st match of the IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad on Wednesday, April 23. This will be an interesting game for the Mumbai-based franchise because of their qualification scenario. The five-time champions’ last game against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was highly successful as they won by nine wickets, thanks to Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav’s audacious innings.

Both batters scored a half-century, helping the team win the match. With that win, the Mumbai-based franchise has improved its chances of qualifying for the play-offs. Coming to SRH, they are stuck in the second-to-last position of the points table because of the poor performances throughout the tournament. In seven games, they have just won two. So, their chances of qualification are bleak.

However, they still have seven games in their hands, and if they manage to win all of them, they will be back in the play-offs race. This upcoming game will be intriguing to watch as it’s in Hyderabad and can be a high-scoring affair as well. Also, SRH lost their last game against MI in Mumbai, so they might look forward to taking revenge. Meanwhile, MI will surely try to win this game and get closer to the play-offs race.
