Sunrisers Hyderabad will be desperate to break their losing streak as they take on a resurgent Mumbai Indians side in a crucial IPL 2025 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium today.
With just two wins from seven matches, SRH find themselves in a difficult position. Their star-studded batting lineup has underperformed, and the bowling unit has failed to make an impact – especially on slow, turning tracks.
Led by Pat Cummins, Sunrisers have already lost two matches at home and will be looking to make amends. Their previous meeting with Mumbai ended in a four-wicket loss at Wankhede.
However, Hyderabad now have a chance to turn things around on their home turf, known for being a batting paradise. Mumbai, meanwhile, are building momentum after a shaky start and will be keen to extend their winning run. For SRH, it’s a must-win battle.
SRH vs MI Toss Update
Mumbai Indians have won the toss and have opted to field.
What captains said…
Hardik Pandya: Feels good (on the applause). I would like to pass my condolences to the victims of the terrorist attack. We’ll bowl first. Looks like a good track, just one change for us – Vignesh comes in for Ashwani. We need to just execute our plans and take the game as simply as possible, plan properly.
Pat Cummins: One change for us – Shami goes out. It is a cause for optimism, we know this surface and ground really well. We’ve played some really good cricket this year. (On the Pahalgam terror attack) It has been heartbreaking for us as well, our thoughts are with the victims and their families.
