The 25th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 is scheduled to play between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians on Tuesday 18th April 2023 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.

Sunrisers Hyderabad did not have a good start to this edition of IPL and lost two matches in a row but after that, they bounced back strongly and won their two most recent matches. They lost against Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants but beat Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. Now they had played four matches with two wins and the same loss and they are currently holding the second position from the bottom of the points table. The situation of Mumbai Indians is also the same as the Sunrisers Hyderabad. They also had played four matches with two wins to their name. They had lost two matches and are holding the 8th position on the points table. They also lost their two opening matches against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings but won their matches against Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is back to the winning momentum after losing two opening matches. The batting order of this team had started performing well and their main players are back to good form. Harry Brook is opening the batting inning of Sunrisers Hyderabad with Mayank Agarwal and both batsmen provided a good opening start. Harry Brook is in good form and he scored his maiden century of IPL.
