Wankhede Stadium offers pristine conditions, important for excellent batting. The ground has relatively shorter boundary lines and a fast outfield.

IPL 2025 MI vs SRH Match Prediction
Going by the form and the composition of the teams, it should be a highly contested match. But SRH’s current form and their batting strength can tilt the scales towards them just a little bit over MI. High-scoring action from the 1st innings in excess of 200 runs is very much expected. Also strongly anticipated are the chances of the runs indeed being made during the second innings, considering the firepower coming out from both sides.
