Mumbai Indians will lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 69th match of the ongoing IPL 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Sunday. It will be a do-or-die contest for the Men in Blue whereas SRH are already out of the tournament but they would want to finish the season with a win.
When these two teams met earlier in the season, Mumbai Indians won by 14 runs and they will need to win by a better margin in order to improve their NRR. We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.
Current form for SRH: L L L W L
The Orange Army has won a solitary contest in their last five matches and it has been a horrid season for them. SRH have failed to come up with a collective show and it has led to their downfall this season. However, Heinrich Klaasen’s form has been a big positive for the franchise.
Current form for MI: L W W L W
Mumbai Indians would have been disappointed with their performance in the last match against Lucknow Super Giants. The five-time champions were in a strong position but their middle order could not capitalize in the run-chase and they will need to deliver in a must-win contest against SRH.
Head to Head: Matches: 20, Won by MI: 11, Won by SRH: 9.
MI holds a slight advantage in the head-to-head battle against SRH.
Players to watch out for: Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Harry Brook, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be the crucial players for SRH.
Tim David, Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Cameron Green, and Jason Behrendorff will be the key players for MI.
