Mumbai 38/1 after 5 overs: Excellent from Natarajan as although he went for a boundary in the very first ball, he comes back nicely to give just six.
Mumbai 32/1 after 4 overs: David Warner might have erred by stopping Sandeep Sharma the previous over and giving Siddarth Kual the ball. Sandeep is bowling beautifully but a well-set Suryakumar is dealing in boundaries.
Mumbai 25/1 after 3 overs: Suryakumar Yadav is up and running with three boundaries and he is timing the ball sweetly. A drive through the extra cover region was the pick of the shot.
Mumbai 7/1 after 2 overs: Excellent start from T Natarajan as he gives just a single. Suryakumar Yadav is yet to get off the mark.
Mumbai 6/1 after 1 over: Wicket in the first over as Sandeep Sharma takes the prized scalp of Rohit Sharma. Rohit smacks the first six of the game with an authoritative pull over deep mid-wicket and then chases a wide delivery only to get a faint edge. Hyderabad take the review and the on-field umpire had to change his review.
Alright Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock are out in the middle and it will be Sandeep Sharma with the new ball.
Sunrisers has rung in two changes - one forced change as Siddarth Kaul comes in place of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Sandeep Sharma replaces Khaleel Ahmed. Mumbai, unchanged.
Mumbai Indians wins toss and elects to bat first
Mumbai Indians: Quinton de Kock (w), Rohit Sharma (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah
Sunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner (c), Jonny Bairstow (w), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Siddarth Kaul, T Natarajan
Rohit Sharma: We will bat first. It has been our strength and we will back that. It is a good pitch and the toss doesn't really matter. The game against KKR was also a perfect game. We have seen few games here, you have to believe and trust your instincts when you play in grounds like these. We are playing the same team.
David Warner: Definitely would have batted as well. Exactly the same what Rohit was saying there the way our team shapes up we are confident in our bowlers to defend. We have seen some high totals here but it also gives a chance to the bowlers to pinch a couple of wickets. I think Bhuvi is a big loss for us.
Pitch Report: Day game, win the toss, bat first and try to defend it. It's sunny and warm afternoon and the pitch has got nothing. There is no bounce for the spinners, there is no bounce for the pacers - reckon Simon Doull and Murali Kartik.
Afternoon game at the home of sixes in Sharjah, Mumbai will look to continue its winning momentum, but Hyderabad is no pushover.
It's a Super Sunday and we are moments away from toss. Fasten your seat belts as this is going to be yet another day where the bowlers will have to chase leather.
Overall Head-to-Head: (14 matches- MI:7 |SRH: 7)
MI and SRH have faced each other 14 times in the IPL and they currently share the honours with seven victories apiece.
Last 5 matches:
Match tied but MI won the one-over eliminator
MI won by 40 runs
SRH won by 31 runs
SRH won by 1 wicket
SRH won by 7 wickets
Recent Head-to-Head: (Last 5 matches)
The recent form guide of the two teams, however, suggests that SRH has had the upper hand. In the previous five encounters, the “Orange Army” has won three matches, while the Mumbai-based side has only won two.
Lack of home advantage has been one of the features of the Indian Premier League’s 13th edition since the pandemic has forced it to be played in the United Arab Emirates.
On that note, Sunday’s day game between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad will surely be a clash of equals since both the teams will be in action at Sharjah for the first time this season.
