MI vs SRH Team Previews

Mumbai Indians

With five losses in the last six games, the Mumbai Indians are struggling at the moment. Their most recent loss came against the Chennai Super Giants on Thursday, which left a big dent in their NRR.
Mumbai’s batting has been rather inconsistent in their recent outings.

With Rohit Sharma missing from action, the opening pair looks rather weak. Quinton de Kock has been dismissed early in the last couple of matches, while Dinesh Malewar has struggled in both his outings. The middle order has some big names, including Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya.

Tilak is the team’s leading run-scorer, but barring his century against Gujarat, his batting has been patchy. Hardik Pandya has struggled with the bat and the ball. Mumbai’s bowling hasn’t been the best either. Jasprit Bumrah has managed to pick up only two wickets in seven games, while Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar have both gone for over 13 runs per over.

Allah Ghazanfar is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 8 wickets. MI has a fersome reputation based on past performances but we cannot justify it being priced as the favorite in this encounter.

Mumbai Indians Expected Playing 11

Quinton de Kock (WK), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (C), Sherfane Rutherford, Mitchell Santner, Jasprit Bumrah, Allah Ghazanfar, Ashwani Kumar, Krish Bhagat

Impact Player: Danish Malewar / Shradul Thakur

Sunrisers Hyderabad

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have been in excellent form, winning four games on the trot as they head into this contest. The team is currently placed third on the points table.

The Sunrisers’ batting has been its biggest strength. Abhishek Sharma is the leading run-scorer of the tournament and has scored three half-centuries and a century so far. Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan are in red-hot form as well.

The team also has Travis Head, who will open the batting here. While he hasn’t been at his best, he can be pretty dangerous once he gets going. The middle order has some quality players like Aniket Verma, Nitish Reddy, and Salil Arora, who have played small cameos as required

With Pat Cummins linking up with the team, Hyderabad’s pace attack looks pretty strong as he joins Praful Hinge, Sakib Hussain, and Eshan Malinga. Malinga is the joint-highest wicket-taker of the tournament with 14 wickets.

However, the team’s spin department looks pretty thin with Shivang Kumar being the only specialist spinner.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Expected Playing 11

Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora (WK), Nitish Reddy, Pat Cummins (C), Shivang Kumar, Eshan Malinga, Praful Hinge, Sakib Hussain

Impact Player: Harsh Dubey / Harshal Patel

MI vs SRH Toss Prediction

In each of the four matches played here this season, the team winning the toss opted to field first, and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is usually good to bat on, and we can expect another high-scoring game. The surface is flat and hard, and has a covering of green grass. While the new ball could move around a bit, once the batsmen settle down, they won’t have any problems playing the big shots.

The dimensions of the ground are pretty small. The team batting first will look to score at least 220-230 runs. There will be some dew in the second half, and chasing scores is easy. The weather will remain clear with temperatures under 30 degrees.

MI vs SRH : Who Will Win?

We are backing the Sunrisers Hyderabad to win this match. They have been in excellent form, especially with the bat, and playing on a flat deck, we expect them to outbat the opposition. Mumbai has several issues to address, and may struggle to overcome them against such a strong opponent.

Bet on Sunrisers Hyderabad to win.
