Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians IPL

Two teams with same points but different net run rates and form will clash out in Hyderabad looking to make a move to the top-half of the table.

Both Hyderabad and Mumbai are closer to the bottom but the winner of this match will move to six points and a place in the top-half. Mumbai have a slight edge having found form in their last two matches but this is not going to be a straightforward result; especially since Hyderabad have also won their last two. I am putting my money on a quick start for Mumbai Indians and score more powerplay runs than Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have conceded more powerplay runs to their opponents in 3 of their last 4 matches (IPL)
Mumbai Indians have scored more powerplay runs in their last 2 matches (IPL)
Mumbai Indians have hit the most 6s of the match in their last 2 matches (IPL)
Mumbai Indians have hit more 6s than Sunrisers Hyderabad in 6 of their last 7 matches (IPL)

Head to Head

The H2H record is nearly even with Mumbai Indians winning 10 and losing 9 of the previous 19 matches. The recent record is more inclined towards Mumbai though with five Mumbai wins from their last six seven matches.

Last season, it was the Sunrisers team which defeated Mumbai by three runs at the Wankhede.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Form

Sunrisers Hyderabad have four points from four matches with their wins coming from their last two matches. They defeated Punjab Kings at this venue and followed it up with a win over Kolkata Knight Riders.

Rahul Tripathi with 117 runs and Harry Brook with 129 have been Hyderabad’s best batters. Captain Aiden Markram is also finding form at the right time. With the ball, Mayank Markande has picked up six wickets across two matches and is looking the real deal.

The worry for Hyderabad is that there’s no support from the middle-order and the high economy of Umran Malik.

The form of Umran puts the spotlight on him but the Sunrisers are unlikely to drop him. Washington Sundar is also struggling to assert his dominance but there’s no like-for-like replacement.

Mumbai Indians Form

Mumbai Indians also have four points winning their last two matches. They defeated Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders to get on board after two losses to begin the season.

It is the youngster Tilak Varma leading the batting show for Mumbai with 177 runs. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma are picking up slowly while the others haven’t been consistent. Piyush Chawla has been a revelation with the ball taking five wickets so far.

The challenge for Mumbai is to find batting consistency. Suryakumar Yadav has fallen off the perch while they struggle to find the right combination with the ball.

Mumbai Indians are still sweating on Jofra Archer’s availability. Should he be fit, he would walk straight into the playing XI.
