MI vs SRH Head to Head Timeline: Every IPL Match, Record and Stat (2013-2026)
Mumbai Indians versus Sunrisers Hyderabad is one of the most underrated rivalries in IPL 2026 history. No final meetings, no flashy nickname, yet 25 matches full of record-breaking totals, Super Overs, and some of the best T20 cricket the competition has ever produced. MI lead 15-10 overall and that gap is comfortable on paper. But SRH are the team that posted 277 against MI in 2024, the highest IPL total ever at that point. Five titles versus two titles. Experience versus explosiveness. Every game between these two delivers something memorable.

Venue Breakdown
Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
MI’s home in this fixture has been their strongest base. Across 10 meetings at Wankhede, MI have won 8 and SRH just 2. SRH’s two Wankhede wins came in 2016 and 2018, both in seasons where their bowling attack was at its absolute peak. The flat Wankhede surface usually favours big chases and MI’s batting depth gives them a significant advantage at home.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
This is where the fixture balances out. Across 9 meetings in Hyderabad, the record stands at 5-4 in SRH’s favour. The slower surface suits SRH’s variety bowling and their home crowd, capable of filling over 55,000 seats, creates genuine atmosphere. The 2024 record-breaking game happened here.
| Venue | Matches | MI Wins | SRH Wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai | 10 | 8 | 2 |
| Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad | 9 | 4 | 5 |
| Neutral Venues | 6 | 3 | 3 |
Key Batting Records Timeline
David Warner Leads the All-Time Batting Charts
David Warner has scored 524 runs against MI across his SRH career, the most by any batter in this fixture. His ability to attack in the powerplay and build partnerships at the top made him SRH’s most dangerous batter in this rivalry across multiple seasons. Rohit Sharma is second overall with 439 runs, making him MI’s highest run-scorer in this head-to-head.
Suryakumar Yadav’s 381 runs in 11 games at an average of 42.33 and strike rate of 148.24 represent some of the best numbers of any batter in this fixture. Shikhar Dhawan sits third overall with 436 runs, delivering consistently whether playing for SRH or later for other sides.

Key Bowling Records Timeline
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: The Fixture’s Leading Wicket-Taker
Bhuvneshwar Kumar leads the all-time bowling chart in this fixture with 20 wickets across his SRH career. His swing with the new ball has consistently troubled MI’s top order, and his ability to bowl tight lines at the death made him difficult to attack in the final overs. He remains the most wickets by any bowler in this head-to-head.
Jasprit Bumrah sits second with 17 wickets at an average of 24.35 in 15 appearances. His economy in this fixture is among the best of any bowler, and his record against SRH’s attacking lineup, particularly Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma in recent seasons, represents some of his most controlled bowling. Lasith Malinga’s 13 wickets round out the top three and his performances at Wankhede in the 2015 and 2017 fixtures were match-defining.
| Bowler | Team | Wickets | Average | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bhuvneshwar Kumar | SRH | 20 | 22.40 | 7.10 |
| Jasprit Bumrah | MI | 17 | 24.35 | 6.80 |
| Lasith Malinga | MI | 13 | 21.00 | 7.20 |
| Hardik Pandya | MI | 9 | 23.22 | 8.40 |
| Rashid Khan | SRH | 8 | 19.50 | 6.60 |
Key Moments That Defined This Timeline
2016: SRH’s Most Dominant Season in This Fixture
SRH won both games in 2016, including an 85-run demolition that remains MI’s heaviest defeat in this fixture by runs. Warner and Dhawan combined for three strong performances across both matches and the bowling restricted MI to a combined total of just 183 in two innings. This was the season SRH went on to win the IPL title.
2018: MI Bowled Out for 87
SRH posted only 118 in Hyderabad, a total most teams would back themselves to chase. MI collapsed for 87, their lowest score ever in this fixture. Bhuvneshwar, Siddharth Kaul, Sandeep Sharma, and Rashid Khan shared the wickets in what became one of the most surprising results of that entire IPL season. SRH’s bowling attack was so clinical that MI never got going from ball one.
2019: Super Over Drama at Wankhede
The league match ended in a tie. Bumrah was sent to bowl the Super Over. He conceded just 5 runs and MI knocked off the target to win a thriller. It remains the only Super Over played between these two teams and one of the most tense finishes in the history of this fixture.
2024: The Night Records Were Shattered
SRH posted 277 in Hyderabad, at the time the highest total in IPL history. Heinrich Klaasen’s 80 off 29 balls in the final overs was extraordinary batting. MI chased hard with 246 in response, their highest ever total in this fixture. SRH won by 31 runs. Both totals in that game stand as the highest by either team in this head-to-head. The match alone changed how people viewed T20 batting ceilings.

What to Expect in IPL 2026

SRH have rebuilt their batting again around Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Ishan Kishan. MI counter with Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Bumrah.
