Match Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad 

The Pat Cummins-led team had once raised hopes of victory with Heinrich Klaasen’s brilliant innings in the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, but the South African batsman did not get enough support from other batsmen. The opening pair of Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Sharma had given a good start to the team but they will have to bring consistency in their performance. Sunrisers have shown a lot of trust in pinch hitter Abdul Samad and now they will have to live up to the expectations. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had made a good start in bowling but later he was badly beaten by Andre Russell. This experienced fast bowler will be desperate to make a good comeback.

Mumbai Indians

In this match, Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliant bowling, Dewald Brevis’ impressive innings, and Rohit Sharma’s useful contribution at the top of the order were positive aspects for the team. At one time, Mumbai needed 48 runs on 36 days with seven wickets left but they could not achieve it, which would be a matter of concern for the team management. Hardik Pandya, who was captaining Mumbai for the first time, came out to bat at number seven but his strategy did not work.

The Mumbai team is slightly ahead of the opposition in the match between Hyderabad and Mumbai. These two teams have faced each other 21 times in the IPL. Out of this, Mumbai won 12 matches. On the other hand, the Hyderabad team won 9 matches. So before going into this match, it goes without saying that Hardik Pandya’s team is ahead.
