Mumbai:
Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and selected the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Wankhed Stadium on Thursday to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the match 33. Both sides are coming in the match with their winning win in their matches and decided to move forward with the same game XIS as their previous matches. Mumbai Indians decided to start in the midst of an alternative to impact with former captain Rohit Sharma. Hardik Pandya said that this decision is likely to play a role in the match later due to the possibility of dew.
“Very excited, the way the last few days have gone,” he said that he is supporting all his batsmen. “Bumrah is fine, we don’t have to worry about it. If he was not 100%, he would not be here.”
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins said it looks like a good wicket and was not very worried about losing the toss. The same side for SRH too. “Sometimes it is good to reset it, sometimes it is good to continue,” he said about the five-day gap between his games.
The match is being played on the same pitch, on which Mumbai Indians evacuated Kolkata Knight Riders for 116 and then chased the target with 43 balls. This was the only home win of Mumbai Indians in this season, and their fans would expect the return to the same strip for them again.
Both teams want to win the match as both of them have lost four matches, and losing more matches will lead to seriously the possibilities of recovering and fighting for the playoff spots.
