SRH vs MI Match Preview
SRH is the home team for this contest and expect them to stick with the same team as in the previous match. Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, and Heinrich Klaasen are the batters that we are going to pick in our lineups while Marco Jansen and Mayank Markande are the bowlers.
The history of success for wrist-spinners against MI batters like Rohit Sharma could give Markrande a bigger role to play in this match.
For MI, Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir (a useful differentiator), and Tim David seem like good options to have. We saw Dewald Brevis bat higher up the order but he looked a bit rusty and did not impress. Shahbaz Ahmed from SRH and Hardik Pandya from MI are excellent all-round bowling options.
Jasprit Bumrah and T Natarajan are probably going to be very highly owned so we recommend picking Bumrah and perhaps going with Cummins instead of Natarajan.
Weather Report
There is no rain predicted on match day and we should have no interruptions.
Pitch Report
The average score batting first is 174 while the average winning total is 179. The first match had over 400 runs scored, though, so teams may want to aim a bit higher.
30 fours have been hit per match over the last 10 matches played at the venue. Batting strength is key to win matches.
Notable stats
Ishan Kishan vs Pat Cummins
Kishan has faced Pat Cummins for 21 deliveries, scored 22 runs, and been dismissed four times. You can expect this match up to be exploited and so Cummins might come on to bowl earlier than usual.

Dream11 Prediction
We think SRH could win this match against MI and cause the first real upset of IPL 2024. The home record for SRH is quite dismal but that is no reason to dismiss the team outright. There is a lot of quality in that lineup and under the leadership of Pat Cummins, we think a serious case can be made for them to be the surprise package of IPL 2024.
Top Picks
Tilak Varma - Batted a bit lower down than usual for our liking but certainly has the ability to adjust at any position. He is very good against spin and we think he might be vital to take down the SRH bowling in the middle overs.
Pat Cummins - He had a quiet match in the previous outing. Nothing too bad but nothing outstanding. He could take the new ball here and make a much bigger immediate impact.
Heinrich Klaasen - The best T20 batter in the world, according to us. His ability to hit sixes is unmatched and we hope he is used as the absolute weapon he is.
