SRH vs MI Team Previews
Sunrisers Hyderabad
After making a timid start to the season, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have finally got some momentum under their wings as they have won back-to-back matches.
Harry Brook, who was bought by the Sunrisers for a whopping price of ₹13.5 crores for this season, finally lived up to his bill by smashing the season’s first century and propelling SRH to a match-winning total of 228 against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their latest outing.
Skipper Aiden Markram scored a half-century while Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen too got some runs in that match and that should give them a lot of confidence. However, Mayank Agarwal is going through an extended lean patch and will need to recover soon to take the pressure off the other batsmen.
Hyderabad's bowling can be considered pace-heavy as they have some quality spinners in the form of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, T Natarajan, and Umran Malik. But is Mayank Markande who has stolen the limelight in his 2 appearances so far, by picking up 6 wickets.
Overall, the Sunrisers Hyderabad team seems to have found a good balance of players.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Playing 11
Mayank Agarwal, Harry Brook, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, Marco Jansen, Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan.
Mumbai Indians
The 5-time Champions have finally showcased their potential as they have won both their last 2 matches. As a result, they have slowly moved up the points table and are now placed 8th.
Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have given the team a good start in the last couple of matches and will be looking to do so again here. Tilak Varma has been a consistent performer in the number-3 position.
Surya Kumar Yadav, who had a relatively quiet tournament so far, finally managed to get some runs in the last game against the Knight Riders and would have gained some confidence. The Mumbai Indians have some promising batsmen lower down the order like Tim David, Cameron Green, and Nehal Wadhera lower down the order but they haven’t been consistent enough. Just like the batsmen, the bowlers too have picked up some form over the last couple of matches.
Jason Behrendorff and Piyush Chawla both picked up 3-wicket hauls in the last match and will be looking to put up a similar performance here. Riley Meredith and Hrithik Shokeen have picked up wickets too but have been quite expensive. With the team finally performing well as a unit, we can expect the Mumbai Indians to put up a good fight here.

Pitch and Conditions
The track at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is pretty dry and there is hardly any grass on the surface.

The spinners will be able to exploit the cracks on the surface and get some spin.
The team batting first will be looking to score over 180 here.
The weather is expected to be warm with temperatures between 30-32 degrees Celsius.

Any player to score 50+ runs from SRH
Yes (1.445)
The Sunrisers have a pretty strong batting line-up for this match. In the last match, Harry Brook scored a century while Markram scored a half-century. With players like Klaasen, Rahul Tripathi, and Abhishek Sharma all in good touch, we are likely to see a 50+ score from the home team.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad have a pretty strong pace attack at their disposal, where Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, Natarajan, and Umran Malik are all capable of taking wickets at regular intervals. In addition to the seam attack, Mayank Markande is in good form too and that’s why we are backing a bowler from SRH to emerge as the top bowler here.
