Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians are set to face off in a crucial IPL 2025 encounter in Hyderabad. Both teams are aiming to climb the standings after inconsistent starts.
Mumbai Indians are buoyed by recent victories. The Mumbai team will rely on their potent bowling attack led by Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult to counter the Sunrisers’ explosive batting lineup with the in-form Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head.
A loss for Hyderabad will severely damage their knockout hopes, while another victory for Mumbai keeps them alive in the race for a play-off spot.

There are currently no injury concerns for either side
The pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is expected to be batting-friendly with teams posting and chasing totals exceeding 200 runs. Pacers may find some assistance with the new ball, but the overall feeling could be a challenge for the bowlers. The weather is anticipated to be hot and dry, therefore, batting conditions should be superb.
The battle of the wicketkeepers is a Protea battle. South Africans Heinrich Klaasen and Ryan Rickelton are both brilliant choices to have. Klaasen is the more accomplished IPL cricketer between the two. His IPL batting record reads 1203 runs with one century and six half-centuries. Rickelton is newer to the IPL circuit after only eight games. He enjoyed a 336-run SA20 season before the IPL though.
Tilak Varma has shown moments of magic this season with back-to-back half-centuries of 56 runs against RCB followed by 59 runs against DC. Suryakumar Yadav has consistently been a player to watch in the IPL. This season he has two half-centuries, while striking at 162.43 and with a batting average just over 55. Australian Travis Head continues to be a nuisance to the powerplay bowlers. He made an outstanding 567 runs at a strike rate of 191.55 in IPL 2024.
Abhishek Sharma’s potential has been spotted by national selectors already. He has rushed to 535 runs in T20Is for India. He has done so with a strike rate of just under 195. Hardik Pandya is a more experienced Indian cricketer. He is one of only two current IPL cricketers, alongside Ravindra Jadeja, with a combination of over 2500 runs and over 50 wickets. Will Jacks scored 36 runs and took two wickets the last time he played against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Harshal Patel is well-known for his death-overs exploits. He has taken six wickets in his last three IPL bowling innings. Eshan Malinga has taken four wickets in two games this year, including two wickets against Mumbai previously. Jasprit Bumrah has been steady with four wickets in four games this year. His overall IPL career bowling stats of 169 wickets with two four-wicket hauls and two five-wicket hauls are more glamourous.
Suryakumar Yadav is a regular at churning out runs in India’s premier T20 competition. His current batting form reflects 344 runs in his past ten matches of the competition. He is also less than 100 runs away from 4000 IPL career runs.
Abhishek Sharma should almost certainly give you fantasy points in some form. The left-hander is supremely talented and has marched to 181 runs in his past two innings for the Sunrisers against Punjab and Mumbai.
You can expect the batters to be licking their lips when they get first sight of this pitch. You will need to find a way to manage an array of batting talent across both squads. The all-rounders could be crucial picks to offer you balance with lengthening the batting lineups, while also give you wicket-taking choices.
The safer route for the bowlers may be to look for some of the more experienced heads to deliver the goods for you.
Suryakumar Yadav has the most Dream11 fantasy points with 671
Suryakumar Yadav has the most runs with 333 runs
Mumbai Indians captain and all-rounder Hardik Pandya has 11 wickets
Mr 360 Suryakumar Yadav has hit 17 sixes this tournament, averaging more than two sixes per innings
Abhishek Sharma has the best strike rate with 188.62
Naman Dhir’s one over for four runs means he has an economy rate of four, but Will Jacks with an economy rate of 6.67 follows him
