Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 12 runs in a strong performance. It was Delhi’s first loss of the season. This win could boost Mumbai’s confidence going forward.
Their upcoming match is against Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are right after a stunning victory over one of the best teams this season, Punjab Kings.
SRH chased down a massive target of 245 runs and won by eight wickets, with nine balls to spare. It was one of the best run chases of the season.
Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad have clashed 23 times in the IPL. MI holds a slight edge with 13 wins, while SRH has secured 10 victories.
At Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium, the two teams have met 7 times. MI has dominated here, winning 5 matches, including one via a Super Over, whereas SRH has managed 2 wins. In the last five seasons (2020–2024), MI has been the more successful side in this matchup, clinching 6 out of 9 encounters.

Suryakumar Yadav (MI): Suryakumar Yadav has been Mumbai Indians’ most consistent batter this season. He has scored 27 or more runs in all six matches so far. He comes into this match after scoring 40 runs against Delhi Capitals.
Hardik Pandya (MI): The Mumbai Indians captain hasn’t been consistent with the bat, but he has done well with the ball. He has taken seven wickets in the last three matches. He also picked up three wickets against SRH the last time they played at this ground.
Heinrich Klaasen (SRH): Klaasen is a key player in SRH’s middle order. He has scored 188 runs in five matches this season. His lowest score is an unbeaten 21 runs against Punjab Kings.
Both teams are coming off important wins that ended their losing runs. SRH’s strong batting lineup will challenge Mumbai’s bowlers, but Mumbai holds an advantage at Wankhede, where they have only lost twice to SRH in all past meetings.
Suryakumar Yadav’s 67 against LSG is the best individual score by a Mumbai batter this season. In contrast, SRH already have two centuries, including a record 141 by Abhishek Sharma in their last match vs PBKS — the highest by an Indian in IPL 2024.
SRH’s bowling has been inconsistent this season. On the other hand, Mumbai have had at least one bowler take 2+ wickets in each of their last three games. In their last match vs DC, two bowlers took over 1.5 wickets.
Mumbai have scored under 59.5 runs in the powerplay in three of their last four games. Their top-order has struggled, with Rohit Sharma yet to cross 20 runs in a match this season.
