MI vs SRH Match Preview
MI has struggled with its batting all throughout IPL 2024 and now it comes up against a strong SRH team that is filled with batting power. On the face of it, you may be tempted to fill your Dream11 team with just batters from SRH, a couple of all-rounders from MI, and Jasprit Bumrah.
However, there is a better way to build your team we believe.
The match-ups show that Bumrah has had the better of Heinrich Klaasen consistently and that may take the dangerous South African out of the picture. Marco Jansen is also someone that could trouble Rohit Sharma. Similarly, we can see Ishan Kishan really taking to the SRH bowling lineup that is lacking in genuine pace (Pat Cummins has been late 130's this entire tournament) and also does not have quality spin options.
Tim David is another player from MI that may finally get a chance to bat before the entire match has been lost and be able to have more of an impact. The conditions at the Wankhede Stadium generally favor the batters and we would advise picking a more balanced lineup that has an almost equal sprinking of players from both teams.
Weather Report
There is no rain forecast for match day and no interruptions are expected. The temperatures will be around 28 degrees with a high amount of humidity that could conditions tough for the players.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is excellent for batting. The average first inning score is 199 but the average winning total is actially 219. That means teams have to aim for 10 runs an over or more to be comfortable. For your Dream11 team, packing it with batters that are in form and scoring at a high strike-rate is a good idea.
Notable stats
Powerplay Bonanza
There have been 64 runs scored during the powerplay on average in the previous 10 IPL matches and that could point to including the openers from both teams in your Dream11 lineup to help take advantage of this trend.
Team News
There are no updates regarding injuries from either side.
