Match Preview
The IPL 2024 action has now shifted to Hyderabad as for the eighth fixture of the season, we will have SunRisers Hyderabad clashing against Mumbai Indians. Hyderabad played their tournament opener against Kolkata Knight Riders, and despite brilliant gameplay by Heinrich Klassen, the Pat Cummins’ side failed to open the tournament on a winning note.
Mumbai Indians on the other hand, locked horns with Gujarat Titans in their first match of the season. The team led by Hardik Pandya faced a 6-run defeat against the Shubman Gill-led side. The upcoming clash is set to take place on March 27 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, where both sides will aim for a win.
Toss Prediction
SunRisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians have engaged in 21 fiery battles so far in previous editions of the cash-rich T20 tournament. In their last five matches, the Mumbai Indians skipper came on top in four toss wars, whereas the Hyderabad captain had luck by his side in only one toss. However, because the forthcoming match will be hosted at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, the home-ground factor might back Cummins to win the forthcoming toss against Hardik Pandya.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, SRH and MI have played 21 matches against each other in the previous editions of the Indian Premier League. In those matches, the five-time IPL winners emerged victorious 12 times, whereas the Orange Army clinched victory in nine matches. However, if we talk about the current season, both teams are win-less as they failed to win their respective season openers.
In SRH’s season opener against KKR, Heinrich Klassen played a blazing innings; however, it wasn't enough to guide the side on the other side of the finishing line. Mumbai, on the other hand, played for the first time under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy and lost by a narrow margin of six runs. The five-time winners dominated the entire game but failed to give the final push and lost it.
Both sides will rectify their mistakes and aim for a win. However, if we consider the overall record and stats, we think Hardik Pandya would guide the side to its first win as MI captain.
