IPL 2025 SRH vs MI Pitch Report Match 41 – Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium

Sunrisers Hyderabad will have their task cut out when they host an in-form Mumbai Indians side in Match No. 42 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Wednesday evening. This high-stakes clash will take place at SRH’s home ground, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

The IPL 2025 season is already into its second half, and SRH find themselves in deep trouble after suffering five defeats in their first seven games. That’s half their league matches gone, and it means their margin for error—thanks to underperforming in the early stages—is virtually non-existent. In fact, one more defeat could put them right on the brink of elimination. That’s how high the stakes are for the Hyderabad outfit in every game now.

For Mumbai Indians, the only way seems to be up. Hardik Pandya’s team has managed to turn their campaign around with three wins on the trot. That streak has helped them climb the points table, and heading into this match, the five-time champions are just two points off the top four.
