Both, Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad went through disheartening losses in the first match of this edition. Mumbai Indians lost to Gujarat Titans in their opening clash whereas Sunrisers Hyderabad lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in a last-over encounter in their first outing in this season of IPL.
With 12 losses in the initial match since 2013, MI supporters would have been used to seeing their team lose, thus the way the match ended against the Gujarat Titans would have wounded them just as much as the squad. MI were in cruise control after needing 48 runs in the final six overs to chase 169, but the Titans gave them a scare, allowing them to close out with 162/9.
Even more impressive was the SRH performance against the Kolkata Knight Riders. After falling to 111/4 after 14 overs, they were chasing an enormous 209 and required 60 in the next three overs. The hopes were revived by Heinrich Klaasen and Shahbaz Ahmed, who even managed to reduce the score to 7 off 5 before Harshit Rana devised the silencing move.
The wicket-taker spinner Wanindu Hasaranga is still not fit and available for the Mumbai Clash. “He’s definitely not in India. I think he’s seeing a specialist. Hopefully, I’ll have more information on him in the next few days,” said Pat Cummins.
The Mumbai Indians are likewise not playing at their most fit. The National Cricket Academy has not yet given the Mumbai Indians clearance to deploy Suryakumar Yadav in the IPL, hence he is still unavailable for the team.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report
Spinners would benefit more from the pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium than pacers since the field is noted for having an even surface. Given Hyderabad’s dew factor, the team winning the toss should ideally think about fielding first.
In the previous season, 180 or more was a par total here, demonstrating how the pitches have encouraged a fair battle between bat and ball. Still, the small boundary length of 65-70 meters will certainly be more beneficial for Batters.
