Mumbai Indians are set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 8th match of IPL 2024 on Wednesday, March 27. After losing their opening game against Gujarat Titans (GT) by 6 runs, Mumbai would look to open their accounts in the points table. The MI vs SRH game will commence at 7.30 pm IST at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Ahead of the match, let us predict MI Playing XI vs SRH.
Under the leadership of their new captain, Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians struggled to chase down 160 runs within 20 overs, falling short by 40 runs in the last five overs.
Many questioned Hardik’s decisions as captain, including his choice to open the bowling himself instead of utilizing Jasprit Bumrah, who was also in the playing XI.
What to except from MI vs SRH?
Both the teams are coming to this match after narrow defeats. MI lost to GT by six runs while Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) faced defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) when Harshit Rana of KKR effectively defended 12 runs in the final over.
Despite the aggressive batting efforts of Shahbaz Ahmed and Heinrich Klaasen from SRH, Rana managed to dismiss them both, securing a narrow 4-run victory for KKR.
