It’s time for the next big match in the Tata IPL 2025. Match 41 of the competition is set to be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The hosts, Sunrisers Hyderabad, will welcome 5-time champions Mumbai Indians in what is expected to be a crunch game.
Things haven’t been going great for the last year’s finalists, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Having lost 5 of their 7 matches, they find themselves reeling at the 9th spot on the points table. With 7 more games left for them, they need to win at least 6 to stand a chance of making it to the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the 5-time champions Mumbai Indians have supposedly found their mojo and are back on track. Ever since that extraordinary win over the then table toppers Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the Capitals have won three on the trot and crawled to the 6th position on the points table. With momentum on their side, MI will start as favorites in this contest.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the SRH vs MI Dream11 Prediction.

Mumbai Indians lead the head-to-head battle between the two sides. Even in recent times, Mumbai Indians have won 4 of the last 5 contests between the two sides.
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad has been a dream batting surface in IPL 2025, with teams regularly piling up 200 or more scores when batting first. It’s generally a high-scoring ground, but in some matches, the pitch has gripped a bit, giving fast bowlers something to work with early on. If the surface stays true, expect another run-fest, but if it starts offering movement, MI’s strong bowling attack could make things tricky for SRH. Dew is likely to come into play in the second innings, making chasing a more favorable option as the ball skids on better under the lights.
Here’s a table showcasing some key IPL stats at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad:
