Mumbai Indians wins toss and decides to field first

Here are the XIs:

Mumbai Indians 1 Ishan Kishan (wk), 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Naman Dhir, 4 Suryakumar Yadav, 5 Tilak Varma, 6 Hardik Pandya (capt), 7 Tim David, 8 Anshul Kamboj, 9 Piyush Chawla, 10 Jasprit Bumrah, 11 Nuwan Thushara.

The Mumbai Indians’ opening duo has faced challenges this season, particularly during the PowerPlay overs. The early dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have been a recurring theme, with Sharma being sent back to the pavilion six times and Kishan seven times within the initial six overs.

Looking ahead, they are up against the formidable pace attack of Sunrisers Hyderabad, featuring Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Pat Cummins, T Natarajan, Jaydev Unadkat, and Marco Jansen, all of whom have been in excellent form. It will be interesting to see how the Mumbai batters service the first 10 overs and how many runs they make.

The big picture MI vs SrH

As the league phase nears its end, MI finds itself at the bottom of the table, and their chances of making it to the playoffs are very slim. However, they can salvage their pride and assess their squad before the 2025 auction.

SRH are in a more favorable fourth position. They aim to secure their place in the top four. A recent one-run victory over Rajasthan Royals boosted their confidence, but they must preserve their momentum.

There are no player injury concerns for either team.
