Their batting (Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar Reddy) has the firepower to make explosions but may lack consistency. In their most recent match against MI on April 17, 2025, Sunrisers batted first to score 162/5, but MI chased it down. Abhishek scored 40 runs, and Klaasen scored 37 runs, which was not enough. The bowling unit, led by Cummins, Mohammed Shami, Harshal Patel, and Rahul Chahar, is capable of executing multiple changes, having the pace of Shami and the spin of Chahar. suited to the pitch’s evolving nature.

MI (Hardik Pandya) is coming off a convincing win and will need to rely on their batting by Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya, supported by Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks in the batting order, and their bowling with Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult in the lead, with Deepak Chahar and Mitchell Santner holding down the fort. MI performed well chasing 163 against SRH in their last match on April 17, 2025, winning by 4 wickets in 18.1 overs with Will Jacks (36 off 26) taking the honors (2/14 with the ball). MI will need their competitive position against SRH, including this victory of 14 wins in 24 matches and 5 out of 8 matches at Hyderabad, given that MI won it in their last match. The Mumbai Indians would also want to remind themselves of their pursuit role on batting-friendly tracks when chasing runs in the IPL, especially as they now have 4 wins in 8 games, to be able to put any similar team on the field to say, Well, win another match and make better results than simply a decent start.
