SRH Team News & Playing 11
Team News
None of the players were reported to be injured at the time of writing and no changes are expected in the team's lineup for this upcoming match.
Key Players
Batting is going to revolve mainly around David Warner who has been in supreme touch this IPL. Shikhar Dhawan has also chipped in with useful contributions playing second fiddle to Warner and with Yuvraj Singh back in form, the team's batting is looking even more formidable. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been exceptional all through the season and SRH will back him to get the early breakthroughs during the powerplay. Rashid Khan has foxed the batsmen on a number of occasions with his legspin and he will be the biggest threat among the spinners.
Recent Form
Mumbai Indians have been the most consistent of all the teams playing in the Indian Premier League. They have got all their bases covered and are gelling well together as a unit. Having already qualified for the playoffs, the team will want to make the most of their remaining fixtures.

MI Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Mumbai Indians have a clean bill of health ahead of their clash with the Sunrisers Hyderabad and they will be going into this game with an unchanged lineup.
Key Players
Rohit Sharma and Nitish Rana who has scored the most runs for the Mumbai Indians so far will be the key men at the top of the batting lineup. Kieron Pollard has the ability to clear the boundary ropes with ease and he will be the danger man in the middle order. Mitchell McClenaghan and Jasprit Bumrah have been the pick of Mumbai's seam attack and it won't be easy for Hyderabad's batsmen to score off them, especially in the death overs.
Recent Form
Having won the tournament last year, Sunrisers Hyderabad are playing quality cricket this year as well and are justifying their title of defending champions. They have both the orange and purple cap holders in their side which is enough to show how well they are performing this IPL.
MI Predicted Playing 11
-
RG Sharma (c), PA Patel (wk), JC Buttler, N Rana, KA Pollard, KH Pandya, KV Sharma, HH Pandya, MJ McClenaghan, SL Malinga, JJ Bumrah.

Mumbai Indians have won five and the rest have been won by the Sunrisers Hyderabad out of the nine matches they have played against each other in the Indian Premier League. Both have won two matches each out of the four that have been played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. So MI and SRH are pretty evenly matched in terms of head-to-head count and neither will be having a big psychological advantage over the other.
SRH vs MI Betting Odds
Odds for Sunrisers Hyderabad to win this match are 2.08 with betfair and 2.00 with bet365. Mumbai Indian are at 1.9 with betfair and 1.8 with bet365.
SRH vs MI Prediction
Both teams have been in amazing form in this tenth edition of the Indian Premier League and it won't be fair to write one team off entirely. Sunrisers Hyderabad are a tough nut to crack in their own den while Mumbai Indians on the other hand have been impressive away from home. MI have already qualified for the playoffs and they can afford to be a little complacent while SRH will give their all to secure their place in the playoffs. Although both teams have been neck-and-neck this year, we predict the hosts to finish on the winning side in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Sunrisers Hyderabad to beat Mumbai Indians in the 48th match of IPL 2017 at 2.08 with betfair and 2.00 with bet365.
