Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match 69– IPL 2023 | |
---|---|
Date | May 21th, 2023 |
Time | 3:30 PM IST, 10:00 AM GMT, 3:30 PM Local Time |
Venue | Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai |
This is a must-win game for Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians currently have 14 points and a win against SRH will take them to 16 points. Apart from Gujarat Titans, no other team has secured a place in the playoffs. CSK and LSG have 15 points and if they win their last game, both teams will go through, leaving one spot for which RCB, MI, KKR, PBKS, and RR will fight.
However, the points table can change quickly depending on the results of matches that will be played on 19th May, and 20th May. As of now, Mumbai Indians need to ensure they win big against SRH so that their run rate is better than RCB. Other teams are in contention but their run rate is on the lower side so it will be a battle between RCB and MI.
For SRH, they are out of the tournament and would like to finish on a high.
The wicket at Wankhede has assisted the batters with 200 being the par score. MI have chased a few scores of over 200 this season here which shows how good a wicket this is. Toss can be crucial as it is very hard to defend on this ground.
It will be a hot and humid day in Mumbai. There is no significant threat of rain and the temperature will range between 33 and 28 degrees.
Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Nehal Wadhera, Tim David, Hrithik Shokeen, Chris Jordan, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff, Akash Madhwal
Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Harry Brook, Glenn Phillips, Abdul Samad, Kartik Tyagi/T Natarajan, Mayank Dagar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Nitish Reddy/Mayank Markande
MI are likely to play the same team while SRH can think about bringing back T Natarajan and Mayank Markande.
The two teams have fought hard against each other, with MI winning 11 and SRH winning 9 matches against each other.

Suryakumar Yadav has peaked just at the right time for Mumbai. The batter had a slow start but now looks unstoppable. Surya is MI’s leading run scorer with 486 runs, including a magnificent century as well.
Ishan Kishan has been inconsistent but has still scored over 400 runs for the team. Kishan’s plus point this season has been his intent as he has always looked to score quick runs. If he stays at the wicket for 10 overs, there can be carnage in Mumbai.
The veteran has well and truly led the Mumbai Indians’ bowling attack. Chawla has 20 wickets in 13 matches and has played a crucial role in taking Mumbai Indians to a stage where they are in the hunt for a place in the playoffs.
Heinrich Klaasen played some gems for SRH but wasn’t getting enough balls to face to make a big score. He got the opportunity in the last game against RCB and blasted a brilliant century. With 430 runs in 11 matches, he is SRH’s best batter.
A lot of MI top-order batters struggle against swing bowlers and in Bhuvneshwar Kumar, SRH has one of the best in business. Bhuvi recently took a five-wicket haul as well so he has some great form behind him.
