Hello and welcome to Match 56 of IPL 2020 in the UAE. Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Sharjah on Tuesday.
Teams:
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Quinton de Kock(w), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar, Dhawal Kulkarni
Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Wriddhiman Saha(w), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan
The big question on everyone's mind: will Mumbai Indians play Rohit Sharma tonight? Is Rohit Sharma fit? Will he be available for the first qualifier against Delhi? Mumbai Indians became the first team to qualify for the last four after Chennai Super Kings beat Kolkata Knight Riders last week.
Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have qualified as well, leaving Hyderabad and Kolkata in a shoot-out for the fourth spot. Sunrisers wins vs table-topper Mumbai tonight, it reaches the knockouts on Net Run Rate (NRR). If Sunrisers Hyderabad loses, Kolkata Knight Riders goes through. Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals will lock horns in Qualifier 1 in Dubai on Thursday, November 5.
For the first time, three teams have been eliminated with 12 points which makes the last encounter of the league stage a knockout fixture for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Read the preview here -
