IPL 2023: SRH vs MI, Match Prediction and more

The 25th match of IPL 2023 is here and we will see the SRH vs MI clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. Both teams will be motivated to secure a hat-trick of victories over one another as they enter the game having won their last two matches.

Mumbai Indians lost their first two games of the season, to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings, but they made a strong recovery, winning their next two matches, against Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad staged a comeback by winning their matches against the Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, respectively, after losing their first two games against the Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants.

SRH vs MI Pitch Report

In the past, batters have enjoyed spending time in the middle of the pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, which has historically produced high-scoring games. The pitch has appeared to be ideal for batting in the two matches played so far in the competition, as evidenced by Rajasthan Royals’ 200-plus total in the first game.

In the second game, SRH easily reached the required target of 144 in 17.1 overs. The captain who wins the toss will be tempted to choose to bowl first due to the favourable batting conditions because it will be challenging to anticipate a safe score on this surface.

SRH vs MI Probable Best Performers

Probable Best batter

Harry Brook:

The 24-year-old successfully responded to his detractors by smashing a spectacular 100* off 55 balls, against KKR, which included 12 fours and three sixes. Brook will be keen to provide another magnificent performance now that he has recovered his form.

Probable best bowler

Mayank Markande:

The 25-year-old has been in outstanding form as evidenced by his six-wicket tally in the last two games. Markande picked up 2/27 in four overs against KKR in the previous match, and he’ll be aiming to confuse batters against MI with his variations once more.
