SRH vs MI – Toss Update, Playing XI and Match Prediction

Check out the playing XI, toss result, pitch report, and match prediction for today’s SRH vs MI IPL 2025 clash. Stay updated with key match insights and expert analysis.

The last time these two sides met, Mumbai Indians cruised to a four-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, with SRH failing to post a competitive total. Now, it's SRH’s turn to host the reverse fixture at the Uppal Stadium — and fans are wondering if Dale Steyn’s bold prediction about a 300-run total in this year’s IPL might finally come true, just at a different venue. And to be fair, the Uppal pitch has been a batter’s dream this season. SRH’s only two wins so far came at this very ground — once when they smashed 286 against Rajasthan Royals, and another when they pulled off a dramatic chase of 243 against Punjab Kings. The surface has been flat, the outfield lightning fast, and with the firepower both teams have, we might just see another run-fest. 

But for SRH, this isn’t just about redemption or chasing records — it’s about keeping their playoff hopes alive. They’re dangerously close to slipping out of contention, and another loss would leave them needing to win all of their final six matches to even have a shot at that crucial 16-point playoff benchmark.  

On the other hand, things are finally falling into place for Mumbai Indians. After a wobbly start to the season, they’ve found form and are now riding a three-game winning streak. A win at Uppal would stretch that run to four and firmly place them in the conversation for a top-two finish. They’ve got momentum, confidence, and players hitting their stride at the right time. With both teams boasting serious match-winners, the stage is set for a blockbuster. The only question is — can SRH rise to the occasion and turn their season around? Or will MI keep the momentum going and pile more misery on the struggling Sunrisers?

SRH vs MI Match Prediction 

As both teams have solid squads, predicting a winner in today’s match is difficult, but here’s how it might unfold: 

Match Prediction: This one’s shaping up to be an absolute cracker. Even before a single ball is bowled, you can tell the pitch is going to be a batting paradise — just the kind of surface SRH thrive on. Their only two wins this season have come in high-scoring games, and they’ll be hoping for another run-fest to let their power-hitters go wild. 

But let’s not forget, MI aren't short on firepower either. Their batting lineup is stacked, and with three wins on the bounce, they’re brimming with confidence. Where they might just have the edge, though, is with the ball. MI’s bowling attack has more variety and depth, and that could be the difference in keeping SRH’s big hitters in check. It’s set up to go down to the wire, but with the way Mumbai are clicking as a unit right now, don’t be surprised if they sneak another win tonight.
