MI vs SRH Team Previews
Mumbai Indians
It has been a disappointing season for the Mumbai Indians. With just 3 wins in 11 matches, MI is languishing at the bottom of the points table and their qualification chances are just a mathematical probability.
It has been a collective failure of all players. Tilak Varma and Rohit Sharma are the top two run-getters for the team but they have been very inconsistent. Similarly, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav who are both known for their fluent strokeplay have often struggled to get going.
But perhaps the biggest disappointment has been the batting from Hardik Pandya. The latter’s captaincy has been lackluster and has also affected the utilization of Tim David.
Jasprit Bumrah is a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy team and is among the top wicket-takers of the season with 17 wickets. However, alone, Bumrah has not been able to influence the matches for MI so far. The lack of wickets for the bowlers in the powerplay and during the middle overs has hurt MI a lot this season.
We don't see easy fixes for them right now.
Mumbai Indians Playing 11
Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Timothy David, Anshul Kamboj, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Nuwan Thushara.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Barring a few speedbumps, the Sunrisers have played well so far and are well in the race for a top 4 finish.
The Sunrisers’ batting, especially the opening pair, is among the strongest compared to other franchises. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma will look to give the team yet another flying start in this game, with batsmen like Heinrich Klaasen hoping to build up on that.
There is no question about the ability of SRH to hit massive sixes and buil big totals but the loss of early wickets can peg them back quite seriously.
SRH does need to improve its middle-order batting as it has often collapsed under pressure. The inclusion of Marco Jansen not only lends depth to the batting but also provides a valuable seam option. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar bowled an excellent spell and will be hoping to do more of the same.
He will join Pat Cummins, Jaydev Unadkat, and T Natarajan in the seam attack. The spin department does seem a bit understaffed.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Playing 11
Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Mayank Agarwal, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Abdul Samad, Marco Jansen, Pat Cummins, Shahbaz Ahmed, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan.

Pitch and Conditions
The Wankhede Stadium usually offers good batting surfaces. The average first-inning score here this season is around 186 but the team batting first will aim for the 200-run mark. The bowlers have very little margin for error.
The weather is likely to be warm and humid and the dew might play a role in the second half.
MI vs SRH Betting Tips
While Mumbai is a strong team on paper and is also playing on home turf, its performance has been far from perfect and they are likely to struggle yet again. SRH has a stronger batting lineup and more importantly, it is a better led team with confidence coming into this contest.
Bet on the Sunrisers Hyderabad to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The Wankhede Stadium provides the batsmen plenty of opportunities to score runs. As both teams, especially SRH have some big strokeplayers, we are likely to see a couple of big overs.
