Match Preview:
The Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians will lock horns in an exciting IPL 2024 in the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. SRH and MI are yet to win a game in the new season and will hope to get off the mark in this fixture. Hyderabad lost to Kolkata Knight Riders while Mumbai failed to beat Gujarat Titans in their respective opening games of the IPL 2024.
Pitch Report:
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, in recent times, have produced flat wickets which tend to also help slower bowlers as the game progresses. Hence it will be important for batters to spend some in the middle before going for the high-scoring shots. This venue is tilted in the chasing teams’ favour as the teams batting second have enjoyed the majority of the success in Hyderabad.
Team Analysis:
SunRisers Hyderabad
The Sunrisers Hyderabad with their auction exploits and a new coach had a decent opening encounter against KKR. But eventually lost on the back of a poor death-bowling effort and decision-making during the chase. Their batting with Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Agarwal and Henrick Klassen has looked in good form. But the SRH bowling still is far away from being a formidable unit.
SunRisers Hyderabad IPL 2024 Squad:
Jaydev Unadkat, Jhatavedh Subramanyan, T Natarajan, Mayank Markande, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Pat Cummins (c), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Sanvir Singh, Glenn Phillips, Nitish Reddy, Marco Jansen, Abhishek Sharma, Upendra Yadav, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, Anmolpreet Singh, Mayank Agarwal, Abdul Samad, Akash Maharaj Singh, Wanindu Hasaranga
Mumbai Indians
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians were favourites to get the win but a few tactical errors cost them the match. Like many of their title-winning seasons, MI’s bowling seems to be in great form with Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee firing all cylinders. Similarly, Mumbai’s batting looked decent with Rohit Sharma bringing his international form and the other young batters playing freely. But for the five-time champs, the all-round form of new captain Hardik Pandya will be a determining factor this season.
Mumbai Indians IPL 2024 Squad:
Rohit Sharma, Tim David, Ishan Kishan, Vishnu Vinod, Nehal Wadhera, Suryakumar Yadav, Dewald Brevis, Piyush Chawla, Shreyas Gopal, Anshul Kamboj, Mohammad Nabi, Shams Mulani, Hardik Pandya (c), Romario Shepherd, Tilak Varma, Jasprit Bumrah, Gerald Coetzee, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal, Arjun Tendulkar, Nuwan Thushara, Naman Dhir, Shivalik Sharma, Luke Wood, Kwena Maphaka

Conclusion:
Mumbai Indians have a better chance to win this fixture and defeat SunRisers Hyderabad to win their first match of IPL 2024.
