Sunrisers Hyderabad started the IPL 2025 season strong with a record-breaking total and a solid opening performance. However, their campaign has since taken a downturn with just 2 wins out of 8 games, placing them at the bottom of the points table. In their latest match against Mumbai Indians, they suffered a crushing defeat, marking their sixth loss of the season.
Head coach Daniel Vettori admitted that their strategy to maximize the powerplay backfired, leading to a below-par total of 143/8 which Mumbai easily chased down. Vettori acknowledged misjudging the pitch conditions at the Wankhede Stadium, resulting in the team’s setback with the bat.
The loss to Mumbai Indians leaves Sunrisers Hyderabad in a challenging position in the IPL 2025 points table. Vettori emphasized the need for sharper decision-making going forward, acknowledging the competitive nature of the tournament.
Their next match is against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on April 25. Despite the growing pressure on the squad, Vettori believes there is no lack of effort from the players, highlighting the importance of making the right decisions to turn their season around.
