Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will welcome Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 41 of the Indian Premier League 2025 at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. SRH have managed just two victories in seven games and are struggling at the bottom of the points table. A defeat in this game would virtually end their faint hopes of qualifying for the playoffs.
SRH Vs MI: Pitch Report
Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has always been a heaven for batters, with a flat pitch that has true bounce and very little help for bowlers. High-scoring games are the norm here, with stroke players expected to enjoy themselves. Ball comes onto the bat well, making it easy to hit and prompting enterprise from the beginning.
With the weather conditions favoring batters by a large margin, teams would look to score massive runs. A score of over 240 runs can be a match-winning score in this ground. However, generally speaking, chasing has been the strategy of choice here primarily because the potential effect of evening dew has the tendency to make it challenging for bowlers to hold onto the ball in the second innings.

Having the target in sight while chasing on this pitch can also assist the batting side in regulating their innings wisely.
