In a clash of two teams in the bottom half of the IPL 2025 points table, the Mumbai Indians welcome Sunrisers Hyderabad to the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, April 17. This match between the seventh- and ninth-placed teams comes with our prediction of a home win.
After six matches each, Mumbai and Hyderabad have four points each, from two wins apiece. The hosts have a net run rate of positive 0.104, and the visitors have a negative run rate of 1.245, which is the only difference between the sides.
Mumbai are coming off a thrilling 12-run win over trailblazers Delhi Capitals on Sunday, away from home. It gave them the first win in three matches after losing the previous two away from home by the exact same margin – 12 runs.
Their record here this season is mixed, with a win and loss each, but Mumbai have a lot to worry about with their batting that averages just 173.5 runs per innings, among the lowest.
The Sunrisers are slightly better on that count, averaging 193, but that’s largely due to the 247 they slammed against Punjab last time out. That chase was the second-highest in the history of the competition, and confidence will be sky-high.
Hyderabad still have to answer their bowling woes, conceding nearly 200 runs per innings.
