IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's MI vs SRH match

Mumbai Indians (MI) will be up against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match 33 of IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, April 17. MI have won only two of their six matches so far and are seventh in the points table. SRH also have two wins from six games, but are in ninth position based on the net run rate scenario.

After suffering two consecutive losses, Mumbai registered a much-needed win when they stunned Delhi Capitals (DC) by 12 runs in their previous match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Batting first, MI scored 205-5 as Tilak Varma starred with 59 off 33. With the ball, Karn Sharma claimed 3-36 as DC were all out for 193.

Hyderabad ended a frustrating four-match losing streak when they beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) by eight wickets in their previous clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Batting first, SRH conceded 245-6. Abhishek Sharma (141 of 55), however, rediscovered his form with a scintillating ton, while Travis Head (66 off 37) also shone as Hyderabad chased the target in 18.3 overs.

Mumbai have a 13-10 lead over Hyderabad in the head-to-head battle in the IPL. Several important landmarks could be achieved in Thursday's IPL 2025 match between MI and SRH. Take a look.
