MI have had a slightly better record against SRH in the IPL history, and they have been involved in some of the most memorable matches in the tournament. It was last season when Hyderabad posted 277 runs on the board against Mumbai, which was the highest total in the history of the IPL before the same team breached it twice. With that, there will be an added incentive for MI to defeat SRH, and get their campaign completely back on track.
