On the verge of elimination from the playoffs fight, five-time champions Mumbai Indians will host Sunrisers Hyderabad in match number 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai today (Monday, May 6). (Streaming | Match Preview)
Mumbai Indians failed to achieve a 170-run target against Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match at the same venue. The Pat Cummins-led SRH, on the other hand, are coming after beating the table-toppers Rajasthan Royals in a close encounter in Hyderabad.
Hardik Pandya has failed miserably as the new Mumbai Indians captain after being appointed just before the start of the season. MI have won three games in 11 matches played so far and they are all but out of the IPL 2024 playoffs reckoning.
SRH have six wins in 10 games played and they stand at number five with 12 points. They desperately need a win to go up in the points table and qualify for the playoffs.
