Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Predictions

It’s been a poor start to the season for both sides, winning just two of their six matches. Mumbai’s recent form has been better, with two wins in their last four matches, so I am backing them to pick up a home win against the Sunrisers.

Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Varma has scored 31, 39, 25, 56 & 59 in his last 5 innings.
Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav has scored 48, 27*, 67, 28 & 40 in his last 5 innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Abhishek Sharma scored 141 runs off 55 balls (S/R 256.36) in the win over the Punjab Kings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Travis Head scored 66 off 37 balls against the Punjab Kings.

Head-to-Head

Mumbi have won three and lost two of their last five matches against the Sunrisers, losing twice. They have won three of the last five matches.

Mumbai Indians Form

After losing two matches on the bounce, Mumbai got back to winning ways with a 12-run win over the Delhi Capitals.

A solid top-order performance saw Mumbai top 200 again off their 20 overs. Ryan Rickelton (41 off 25 balls), Suryakumar Yadav (40 off 28), Tilak Varma (59 off 33) and Naman Dair (38 off 17) all had an impact with the bat.

Delhi were looking good at 119/1 in the 11th over, only to crash to 15/5 in three overs. Their tail couldn’t maintain the asking rain and they were bowled out for 193 off 19 overs. Karn Sharma took 3/36 (econ 9.00) did the bulk of the damage to the top order, with Mitchell Santner weighing in with 2/43.

Mumbai Indians Team News

Mumbai Indians are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Form

The Sunrisers ended their horror run of four defeats in a row by thrashing the Punjab Kings by eight wickets.

Punjab racked up a massive score of 245/6 off their 20 overs. The Sunrisers bowlers all went for over 10 runs per over, with Harshal Patel’s 4/42 being the best figures with the ball.

The Sunrisers’ innings got off to an incredible start, with Travis Head (66 off 37 balls) and Abhishek Sharma (141 off 55) sharing an opening stand of 171 off 12.2 balls. Sharma took the score to 222/2 with Heinrich Klaasen (21* off 14 balls), setting up the eight-wicket win with nine balls to spare.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team News

The Sunrisers will be buoyed by their phenomenal win over the Punjab Kings on a plum batting pitch. They will find the Mumbai side a tougher prospect at the Wankhede Stadium.

Verdict

Mumbai Indians v Sunrisers Hyderabad - T20

I am backing Mumbai Indians to win. I am also backing Tilak Varma to top score for Mumbai Indians.

Abhishek Sharma is a good bet to top score for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Mumbai Indians win
