Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Prediction and odds on the Match on 17 April 2025

Prediction between the Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League will take place at Wankhede Stadium. The two did well to return to winning ways the previous time out and will feel confident in this one. How will this game unfold? I provide match previews and betting opportunities in the following sections.

Mumbai Indians: Form and Statistics

Mumbai Indians have not been a tough team for their opponents this season and this team but they did well to end their winless streak last time out. Despite hiring a new coach in Mahela Jayawardene, there has been little or no improvement from this side after finishing bottom of the regular season with just eight points the previous year. In the meantime, this team has averaged half of the total points earned in the previous year, with fewer games played, which is a positive for the home side to take.

Ahead of this game, the Mumbai Indians have now won two times this season, with their first win against the Kolkata Knight Riders, before a 12-run win over the Delhi Capitals. Ahead of this game, the Mumbai Indians have also lost to Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers and Gujarat Titans in their first six matches of the season. Mumbai Indians sit 7th in the standings with a +0.104 net run rate.

Mumbai Indians Lineup

Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have been very crucial for the Mumbai Indians this season, and head coach Mahela Jayawardene will be counting on them to display their quality.

Expected Lineup

Ryan Rickelton (wk), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Karn Sharma, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Form and Statistics

The Sunrisers Hyderabad are failing to match the level they showed last season and there is already concern around Daniel Vettori after a solid performance which saw his side finish second in the regular season before losing the final to the Kolkata Knight Riders after signing in August 2023.

In their league opener, Daniel Vettori pulled off a top-level play that saw them easily dispatch Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs in a 286-242 contest. However, Daniel Vettori’s side struggled so much and went on to lose four consecutive matches. In that run, Sunrisers Hyderabad played Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Gujarat Titans.

While this team bounced back from their disappointing run last time out against the Punjab Kings in a game they won by 8 wickets, it now remains to be seen how they will maintain that standard in this game against another weak side. Sunrisers Hyderabad have four points this season, 13 less than the 17 they had in 14 matches the previous year with just eight games to go.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Lineup

In a squad that is struggling to keep up to expectations, this must-win stage of the season will demand Ishan Kishan, Travis Head, and Abhishek Sharma to improve their game, as they will be heavily relied on in the remainder of the season. 

Expected Lineup

Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Zeeshan Ansari, Mohammed Shami, and Jaydev Unadkat.

Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Prediction 17 April 2025

The two teams have failed bettors at different times this season and I understand it is important to be careful with the kind of option to settle for here. While looking at how their past meetings have ended, it is not surprising the Mumbai Indians come in as favourites, especially with their winning record in this stadium. Yet, I feel the Sunrisers Hyderabad can match the level they displayed against Punjab Kings. This should be a close game where neither team will have dominant play. Therefore, with the two teams struggling, I believe this game will end with many runs.

Our match prediction is over 379 runs with odds at 1.60 on the 1Xbet bookmaker.

Our betting tip is a win for the Sunrisers Hyderabad with odds at 2.10 on Dafabet.
