In a high-stakes battle, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on mighty Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 23 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. These two sides have had thrilling encounters in the past, including the match in IPL 2024, where over 500 runs were scored in a single game.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on one hand, is not having their best of seasons so far. With 2 wins in 7 games, the hosts are in desperate need of a win to keep their campaign alive. SRH’s explosive openers,
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have not found their footing this season. Moreover, Ishan Kishan, who scored a century in the very first game has delivered several single-digit scores since then. Apart from batting, SRH’s spin department is also a cause for concern in the absence of Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa. So far, youngster Zeeshan Ansari has 4 wickets to his name.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians will be looking for their fourth consecutive win on Wednesday. After a sluggish start to the tournament, MI have bounced back well, winning their last 3 matches. A comprehensive win against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), thanks to their top three, was a much-needed confidence boost for the five-time champions. A win over SRH would put the visitors in a favorable position to enter the playoffs. Moreover, the return of Rohit Sharma’s form is a sigh of relief for the side. MI’s star batter, Suryakumar Yadav, has also delivered some blistering knocks so far. The right-hander is currently positioned 4th in the race for the Orange Cap with a total of 333 runs to his name.
