Probable Winner: Mumbai Indians
The skipper of the Mumbai-based side, Rohit Sharma is in phenomenal form in this season. Rohit Sharma has scored two 70+ runs in two matches where Mumbai Indians have won. So, it is quite evident that Mumbai Indians need a good start from Rohit Sharma to get the hold in the match. Kieron Pollard has also shown his class in the last two matches. Hardik Pandya has also hit a few boundaries against Kings XI Punjab and it will certainly give him a mental boost up ahead of this match. Rahul Chahar’s leg-spin has been quite handy for MI so far in this tournament. Jasprit Bumrah has also been brilliant in a few matches. James Pattinson and Trent Boult are complimenting him quite well.
On the other hand, David Warner is not in form for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Johnny Bairstow, Kane Williamson and Manish Pandey have been their star batsmen so far in this tournament. In the previous match against Chennai Super Kings, Priyam Garg and Abhishek Sharma have played quite well along with Abdul Samad. Rashid Khan is also using all his experience of playing in this condition. However, they might miss Bhuvaneshwar Kumar due to injury in this match against Mumbai Indians.
