Which team is better, MI or SRH?

The short answer depends on which metric you prioritize. Mumbai Indians hold a clear edge in head-to-head record and overall IPL titles, but Sunrisers Hyderabad have shown they can compete—especially at home. The official IPL stats (ipl.com, the league’s primary portal) show MI leading 14-10 in 24 matches since SRH entered the tournament in 2013.

Recent form

In IPL 2025 alone, these two teams have already met twice with contrasting outcomes. MI won the earlier encounter on March 15, 2025, in Hyderabad by 4 wickets, according to wpleague.in (IPL analysis site). Then on April 17, 2025, at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, MI chased down SRH’s 162/5 in 18.1 overs, winning by 4 wickets. Will Jacks was named Player of the Match for his 36 off 26 balls and 2/14 with the ball, per Cricket Winner via Dailyhunt (sports coverage outlet).

Key player matchups

SRH’s batting depth has been on display with Abhishek Sharma scoring 40 and Heinrich Klaasen adding 37 in that April 17 match, per Cricket Winner via Dailyhunt. Suryakumar Yadav contributed 26 for MI in that chase. Pat Cummins, SRH’s captain, conceded 3 wickets in the final over of that match, allowing MI to clinch victory.

What to watch

The Rajiv Gandhi Stadium has historically favored high-scoring chases. SRH’s 277/3 there in March 2024 is the highest team total any side has posted against MI in IPL history, per Bigbashboard (cricket stats platform).

MI vs SRH Head To Head Record in IPL (2008–2026)

Since Sunrisers Hyderabad joined the IPL in 2013, they’ve faced Mumbai Indians in what has become one of the league’s more evenly matched rivalries. The first meeting came on April 30, 2013, at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, with SRH winning by 7 wickets, as documented by Bigbashboard.

Overall record

The official ipl.com record shows MI leading 14-10 in 24 matches. However, some sources report 25 total matches with MI at 15 wins, per wpleague.in and myKhel.com. That discrepancy likely stems from how abandoned matches or matches at neutral venues are counted across different databases.

Matches at Hyderabad

At Rajiv Gandhi Stadium specifically, SRH has generally performed well. The March 27, 2024 encounter saw SRH post 277/3 and win by 31 runs, with MI managing 246/5 in reply, per Bigbashboard. A tied match occurred in IPL 2019 (SRH 162/6, MI 162/5) with MI winning the Super Over, per Cricket Winner via Dailyhunt.

The catch

MI’s experience in crunch moments gives them an edge in close games. SRH’s 2019 Super Over loss to MI is a reminder that finishing strong matters as much as scoring big at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.

Has Sunrisers Hyderabad won the IPL?

Yes, Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the IPL twice. Their first title came in 2016 when they beat RCB in the final, and they added a second championship in 2024, as noted by wpleague.in. That recent triumph is particularly relevant as it shows SRH entering IPL 2025 as defending champions.

SRH IPL titles

The 2016 win came under David Warner’s captaincy, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading the bowling attack. The 2024 title demonstrated SRH’s ability to build a balanced squad capable of winning in different conditions. Both titles were won at neutral venues, per wpleague.in.

Key achievements

Beyond titles, SRH’s standout accomplishment against MI is that 277-run total from March 27, 2024—the highest score any team has managed against the five-time champions in IPL history, per myKhel.com. This suggests that when SRH’s top order fires, they can challenge even MI’s strong bowling.

Has Mumbai Indians lost a final?

Mumbai Indians have reached the IPL final multiple times and have a strong record in championship matches. Their five titles (2008, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019) speak to their dominance, per wpleague.in. While they haven’t lost many finals, they have faced tough defeats in other contexts that shaped the rivalry with SRH.

MI IPL finals record

MI’s five titles make them the most successful franchise in IPL history. They’ve won finals against teams like Chennai Super Kings, Rising Pune Supergiant, and Sunrisers Hyderabad themselves. The 2016 final saw SRH beat RCB, not MI, so the two sides have never met in an IPL final, per wpleague.in.

Losses in finals

MI’s most notable final loss came in 2011 when they fell to Chennai Super Kings. They’ve otherwise been dominant in championship matches, per wpleague.in. This consistency in finals reflects the franchise’s ability to peak when it matters most.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians Match Scorecard

The most recent high-scoring encounter between these two sides came on March 27, 2024, at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium. That match produced one of the highest scores in IPL history and remains a reference point for what this rivalry can deliver, as documented by Bigbashboard.

Batting scorecard

In that March 2024 match, SRH posted 277/3 in their 20 overs—a total that included explosive hitting throughout the innings. MI’s chase ended at 246/5, giving SRH a 31-run victory. This remains SRH’s highest team total against MI, per Bigbashboard.

Bowling scorecard

MI’s bowling struggled to contain SRH’s aggressive batting on that occasion. The match also featured a dramatic earlier encounter on May 16, 2022, when MI chased down SRH’s modest 113 in just 13.5 overs, per Bigbashboard. The contrast between these two results shows how venue and pitch conditions dramatically affect outcomes.

Man of the match

For the IPL 2025 Match 41 specifically, the official Player of the Match designation has not yet been confirmed in publicly available records as of the latest updates. For the earlier IPL 2025 Match 33 on April 17, Will Jacks earned Player of the Match honors for his all-round performance, per Cricket Winner via Dailyhunt.

Bottom line: Sunrisers Hyderabad have shown they can post monstrous scores at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, but MI’s overall head-to-head dominance and five titles suggest they’re still the heavier favorites. For SRH fans, the path to victory is clear: aggressive batting early and bowling partnerships in the death overs. For MI supporters, the message is equally straightforward: trust the experience, back the chase, and expect to win at the death.

The comparison table below summarizes the key metrics for both franchises:

Metric Mumbai Indians Sunrisers Hyderabad
IPL Titles 5 (2008, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019) 2 (2016, 2024)
H2H Record (official) 14 wins (24 matches) 10 wins
H2H Record (alternate) 15 wins (25 matches) 10 wins
IPL 2025 Form Won Match 33 (April 17) Lost Match 33
IPL 2025 Form Won opener (March 15) Match 41 pending
Highest vs Each Other 246/5 (Mar 27, 2024) 277/3 (Mar 27, 2024)

“MI is narrowly ahead in this rivalry, winning 14 out of 24 encounters including a Super Over victory.”

— Cricket Winner via Dailyhunt

“Matches between these two teams tend to be high-scoring games and both teams have put on explosive batting displays.”

— Cricket Winner via Dailyhunt

The implication is straightforward: MI’s experience and finishing ability give them a psychological edge, but SRH’s recent title and explosive batting at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium make them dangerous opponents. The head-to-head numbers show MI leading, but not overwhelmingly—and a single big-hitting performance can flip the narrative quickly.
