Hyderabad and Mumbai started their campaigns with losses, both running their opponents close. This could be an interesting battle for supremacy, although it’s Mumbai that has had an upper hand in the recent past. I am backing Mumbai to post their first win of the season.

Head to Head

Sunrisers Hyderabad have played the Mumbai Indians 21 times in the IPL so far, with 12 wins for Mumbai and nine for the Sunrisers.

Last season, Mumbai won both matches. They defeated Hyderabad by 14 runs at this venue and by eight wickets at the Wankhede. Both matches saw Cameron Green win the player of the match award.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Form

Sunrisers Hyderabad started with a four-run defeat to the Kolkata Knight Riders last weekend. The match went down to the wire and could have even seen a Hyderabad win.

Bowling first, the Sunrisers failed to control the late barrage of boundaries as they leaked 208 for 7. T. Natarajan was their best bowler with 3 for 32, but Hyderabad will be worried about the economic rates of Bhuvneshwar and Marco Jansen.

The chase didn’t go as planned in the middle overs, but Heinrich Klaasen (63 off 29) launched a late assault to bring them closer. They needed six runs off the last four balls, but Hyderabad failed to bring a win home.

Travis Head and Glenn Phillips are warming the bench for Hyderabad, who may have to drop Marco Jansen or Aiden Markram to play either of those.

The Mumbai Indians also started with a defeat, falling to a narrow six-run loss to the Gujarat Titans on Sunday. Jasprit Bumrah led the bowling with figures of 3 for 14 to restrict Gujarat to 168 for 6.

The chase was going smoothly, with Rohit Sharma anchoring it with 43 off 29 balls. Mumbai were 107 for 2 after 12 overs, but lost the initiative in the middle overs to lose the game.

Hardik Pandya’s captaincy was questioned as he started the bowling by himself and conceded 20 runs off the first over.

Mumbai Indians Team News

Luke Wood’s debut didn’t go per plan, and Mumbai may replace him with Akash Madhwal, who enjoyed playing for Hyderabad last season. That could leave a foreign slot open, with Mohammad Nabi or Romario Shepherd likely to replace Shams Mulani.
