At Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI) are playing their 33rd game of the 2025 Indian Premier League. After winning the toss, MI captain Hardik Pandya decided to bowl first.
During the powerplay, the bowling was initiated by MI’s fast trio. Only 15 runs were scored by SRH in the first two overs. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, the openers for SRH, were at the crease as Deepak Chahar took the ball for the third over.
Chahar bowled to Abhishek on the fifth delivery of the third over.
The left-handed hitter dragged the heave off the inner half to mid-wicket as he crowded to the pitch. The leg-spinner Karn Sharma tried to stop the ball, but it missed him as it sailed on the half-volley to mid-wicket. Karn injured his finger while doing this, and when the wound started to bleed, he had to leave the pitch.

Karn Sharma was MI’s player of the match in their last encounter against the Delhi Capitals (DC), therefore the five-time champions would be greatly impacted by his injury. With a thrilling victory over DC by 12 runs, including three run-outs in three balls, MI emerged victorious. In their previous game, SRH easily chased a large total and dominated Punjab Kings (PBKS). With crucial help from Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma was the chase’s standout, scoring 141 runs off 55 balls.
Both clubs will try to maintain their momentum and continue to play as they are back to their winning ways.
