The upcoming IPL 2024 clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday, March 27, will be crucial for both teams. Both sides suffered narrow defeats in their season openers, adding significance to this encounter. Ahead of the epic SRH vs MI clash let us take a look at how Pat Cummins and Co could line up as they eye their first win of the season.
How should SRH line up against MI?
Sunrisers Hyderabad displayed resilience during their 209-run chase against KKR and is determined to bounce back from their early setback. Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Sharma are set to open once again for the franchise, aiming to replicate their promising start from the previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Agarwal was solid at the crease, timing his strokes impeccably. Sharma, promoted up the order this season, played his shots with ease, maintaining a high strike rate indicative of his aggressive approach.
Rahul Tripathi, eyeing redemption after being dropped from the Indian team, seeks to showcase his potential for the T20 World 2024. Heinrich Klaasen, in formidable form, aims for a more decisive impact in the upcoming fixture.
All-rounders Marco Jansen and Shahbaz Ahmed anticipate improved performances after facing challenges in the previous game.
Bowlers Pat Cummins, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are primed for a better showing against Mumbai Indians, with Kumar seeking to rebound from an uncharacteristic performance, while Markande aims to refine his line and length in the final overs.
