Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL Match Today: A struggling Mumbai Indians (MI) will lock horns against high-flying Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match No 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Placed fourth in the IPL points table with 12 points in 10 matches with six wins and four losses, SRH will be desperate to produce an all-round show and make improvements, especially in their bowling department. With only three wins in 11 matches, MI’s challenge is all but over and there is only “pride and name” left to play for by their own admission.
Playing XI predictions for the MI vs SRH IPL match today
Mumbai Indians predicted XI: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah
Impact Subs: Nuwan Thushara and Mohammad Nabi
MI player to look out for: India vice-captain Hardik Pandya has being consistently on the receiving end due to his ordinary form with both bat and ball and also his on-field decisions as MI skipper.

MI vs SRH Pitch Report
Wankhede wicket is usually a batting paradise. However, Mumbai failed to chase down a target in excess of 167 in their previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders despite the dew. It remains to be seen if this was a sign of wearing pitches in the second half of the season or it was just a one-off against Kolkata Knight Riders, where the spinners were on top.
