IPL 2025: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad Pitch Report & Stats Ahead of SRH vs MI Match

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns with Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 41 of the IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on April 23. With both sides packed with explosive batters, fans can expect a high-scoring thriller under the lights.

The surface at this venue has evolved into a batting haven in IPL 2025, with the average first innings score crossing the 200-run mark. The pitch is flat and typically assists strokeplay, especially in the Powerplay and the early overs. However, it starts to offer some grip and turn as the game progresses, providing something for both pacers and spinners in the later stages.

Despite the historical trend favoring chasing sides at this ground — with 45 wins for teams batting second — IPL 2025 has seen a reversal, as teams batting first have won 3 out of 4 matches here this season. Dew remains a factor in the second innings, which usually aids the batters, making toss and game awareness crucial.

While Sunrisers Hyderabad will feel confident at home with a powerful batting unit accustomed to the surface, Mumbai Indians‘ depth and experience in high-scoring matches could even things out. That said, with the home crowd behind them and familiarity with the conditions, SRH might just have the edge.
