This game has all the ingredients to produce an absolute thriller. It’s the five-time IPL champions, Mumbai Indians, who are at home, and visiting them are the dangerous Sunrisers Hyderabad, who boast a batting line-up capable of shooting past 300. This enticing Indian Premier League (IPL) match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday evening.
MI snapped their two-game losing run with a 12-run win over Delhi Capitals in the last match. It was only their second win of the ongoing season. That means, despite picking up two points in the last game, they remain in a precarious position when it comes to playoffs. Mumbai are still four points behind the top four. Needless to say, they are in a must-win situation ahead of this game.
SRH are more or less traversing through the same situation. Despite lighting up the IPL with their huge run-chase in the last match against Punjab Kings, pressure remains on Pat Cummins and his men ahead of this game. In fact, SRH are sitting second from bottom heading into this clash.
