Mumbai Indians (MI) will host the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 55th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The MI vs SRH clash will take place on May 06, 2024, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The morale of the hosts would be down, after their 24-run defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where they failed to chase an average total of 170.
The five-time champions didn’t start the IPL 2024 on a positive note, with three successive losses, one of which was against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), whose 31-run win came when they smashed 277/3, a record IPL total by then. Even though Mumbai got three wins in their next four games to bring themselves into the winning track, the environment of the team won’t be high going into the MI vs SRH fixture.
With four defeats, Mumbai are at the foot of the points table with three wins in 11 games and have been knocked out of the ongoing tournament.
Sunrisers Hyderabad made a fabulous comeback in their last game against Rajasthan Royals (RR), where a brilliant spell of death bowling helped them earn a one-run victory. This came after their back-to-back losses against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
What Sunrisers did well was keeping their momentum going at the halfway mark of the competition with four successive wins, which has helped them to secure the fourth place before the MI vs SRH face-off, with six wins in 10 games at a net run rate (NRR) of +0.072.
