Team News

Mumbai Indians: Mumbai have struggled to find their best combination, with Rohit Sharma’s three-match absence through a hamstring injury adding to their difficulties. It is not yet confirmed when he will return, but he has been batting in the nets and his return should be imminent.

Possible XI: Quinton de Kock, Danish Malewar, Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (c), Tilak Varma, Sherfane Rutherford, Mitchell Santner, Jasprit Bumrah, Krish Bhagat, Ashwani Kumar.

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Heinrich Klaasen’s blistering form with the bat has played a huge role in the Sunrisers’ success, along with Eshan Malinga, who has taken a phenomenal 11 wickets in his last four matches.

Possible XI: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora, Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Pat Cummins (c), Shivang Kumar, Sakib Hussain, Praful Hinge, Eshan Malinga.

Key Stats

Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Varma has scored 101* & 37 in his last 2 innings.
Mumbai Indians’ Ashwani Kumar has taken 4/24 & 2/37 in his last 2 matches.
Mumbai Indians’ AM Ghazanfar has taken 2/21, 2/31, 2/17 & 2/25 in his last 4 matches.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Heinrich Klaasen is 5th on the IPL runs list (349 runs, ave 49.9).
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Abhishek Sharma has scored 74, 59, 135* & 57 in 5 innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Eshan Malinga has 2/31, 3/29, 4/32 and 2/38 in 4 matches.

Match Analysis

Wankhede Stadium has seen 70 wins in the IPL for sides chasing, while the team taking first strike has won 58 of the clashes. The pitch is expected to have decent pace and bounce, which should encourage high scoring. The shorter boundaries could yield a high number of sixes, with both sides boasting big-hitting bowlers.

The temperature is expected to hit 32 degrees Celsius late afternoon, settling to 27-degrees in the evening, with humidity of 60-75% but with no chance of rain. The evening dew factor will make winning the toss and batting second top of both skippers’ minds.

This season the pitch at the Wankhede has offered consistent bounce for sides setting scores as well as sides chasing targets, but the dew factor does tend to hamper the bowlers in the evening.

Betting Markets to Watch

Result

The Sunrisers’ four-match winning streak makes them a top bet to take the win over their hosts the Mumbai Indians.

Best Sunrisers Hyderabad Batter

Abhishek Sharma is top of the IPL runs list with 380 runs at an average of 54.3 (S/R 212.3), while Ishan Kishan has scored 27, 91, 25 & 74 in his last 5 knocks.

Score Over/Under Runs

Heinrich Klaasen has scored 39, 40, 59, 37* & 29 in his last five innings and is just two runs behind Virat Kohli in this season’s runs list.

Take Over/Under Wickets

Eshan Malinga has taken two or more wickets in each of his last four matches and is worth backing to picking up two or more wickets, but I’m going with Mumbai’s AM Ghazanfar, who has picked up two wickets in an innings in each of his last four matches at a combined cost of under 100 runs.
