MI vs SRH: Clash of Titans at Wankhede!

by chahat sikri

MI vs SRH Match Prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad who registered an unprecedented win in the last match will now face Mumbai Indians. Both these teams are currently not in the top four in the points table. While chasing a big target against Punjab Kings Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head batted strongly, but now they will face the challenge of Jasprit Bumrah, who has recently returned from injury.

Bumrah has not been able to regain his old rhythm

Bumrah, who returned after three months due to injury, has not yet been able to regain his rhythm due to which he is considered the most dangerous fast bowler in the world. Mumbai, however, will expect a good performance from their star fast bowler Bumrah to curb the aggressive batsmen of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mumbai has won only two matches so far and is at the seventh position in the points table. On the other hand, the Hyderabad team has played six matches so far and has won only two. Thus he is at the ninth position in the table.

Rohit’s form a matter of concern

The form of opener Rohit Sharma also remains a matter of concern for five-time champion Mumbai Indians. Rohit has adopted an aggressive attitude so far but he has had to struggle against left-arm fast bowlers. Rohit has so far been able to score only 56 runs in five matches at an average of 11.20. Mumbai’s batting has been somewhat dependent on Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma and if the team has to improve its position, Rohit will have to play a big innings.

Will Hyderabad make changes in the team?

Given the way Rohit is struggling against left-arm fast bowlers, the Sunrisers team can give fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat a place in the playing-11 for this match. The Sunrisers team is heavily dependent on its batting to perform well but there is a lack of consistency in the performance of its key batsmen. In this match, all eyes will also be on Sunrisers batsman Ishan Kishan, who will be desperate to perform well against his former franchise. The pitch of Wankhede Stadium has been favorable to the batsmen but the bowlers will also try to take advantage of the bounce it provides.

MI vs SRH: The probable playing-11

Mumbai Indians: Ryan Rickleton (wicketkeeper), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Will Jacks, Hardik Pandya (captain), Mitchell Santner, Jaspreet Bumrah, Karan Sharma, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar.

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Heinrich Klaasen (wicketkeeper), Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (captain), Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammad Shami, Harshal Patel, Ishan Malinga.
