300 is distant, SRH’s effort in achieving 150, Dale Stan’s prediction was wrong.

IPL 2025: The match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad was played on 17 April at the Wankhede Stadium. Several days before this match, on March 23, former legendary player Dale Stan was a big prediction that Mi Vs SRH could become the first 300++ total in the history of IPL during the match. But Stan’s prediction proved wrong.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s team, which is going for explosive batting, was able to score only 162 runs in 20 overs, losing 5 wickets in 20 overs.

Dale Stan made this tweet

Dale Steyn tweeted on social media after the first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing season, “Short prediction. On April 17 we will see the first 300 runs in the IPL. Who knows, maybe I will also be there to see it,”

Small prediction.
April 17 We’ll see the first 300 in ipl.

Who Knows, I might even be there to see it happy.

Batsmen did not get help on Wankhede’s pitch

The batsmen did not get help on the Wankhede pitch during the match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The ball was not good on the bat, due to which batsmen like Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head could not play a big innings. The team scored just 46 runs in the powerplay. At the same time, Hyderabad scored 50 runs in the last four overs, but the team could reach the total of 162 runs only.

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma played slow innings

The pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma had earlier played a big role in the record run chase of 247 by batting explosive in the match against Punjab Kings. But in the match against Mumbai, both batsmen did not appear in some special rhythm. Head scored 28 runs in 29 balls, while Abhishek scored 40 runs in 28 balls.

Travis Head’s strike rate was 96.55 against Mumbai Indians and Abhishek 142.86. Both batsmen could not hit a six in their innings. When Abhishek hit 7 fours, the head was successful in hitting only 3 fours.
