Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad face off against each other in a game which is very important for the five-times champions side. MI will need to win the game which will mean that Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals will be eliminated from the playoffs race. With Delhi Capitals and SRH already eliminated and Gujarat Titans already qualified it would mean that four teams play for the remaining three spots. Two out of three spots could well be decided before this fixture as a win for Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants would mean straight qualification. Here is all you need to know before the MI vs SRH clash.
Mumbai Indians have 14 points with an NRR of -0.128 and face competition primarily from Royal Challengers Bangalore who are also tied at the same points but have a superior NRR of +0.18. A win for MI would take them to 16 points and the teams with 14 points will be eliminated.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are out of the playoffs race but would be getting support from many teams when they clash with the Rohit Sharma-led side. SRH will look to end a disappointing season on a high note and could do so with a win against MI. They are currently two points behind Delhi Capitals so a win for them could mean that they don’t finish last if DC loses their clash against CSK.

The pitch at Wankhede Stadium is expected to behave in a traditional manner which means that it would be a batting paradise. Mumbai Indians have won their last three home games and have scored in excess of 200 runs in their last four games at their home venue. The captain winning the toss is expected to bowl first as a batting-friendly pitch could very well give the advantage to the team chasing here.
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 Klassen (wk), Harry Brook, Glenn Phillips, Abdul Samad, Kartik Tyagi, Mayank Dagar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Nitish Reddy
Suryakumar Yadav has come to his usual best in the later stage of the marquee event. In the last two matches played here, Suryakumar Yadav has won the Player of the Match award both times. He has crossed the fifty mark four times in the last 4 matches played at Wankhede Stadium. The Indian T20 star will look to build upon his form at the venue with another high-striking knock in a crucial game for his team.
Veteran Indian leg-spinner, Piyush Chawla has been in great touch and control with the ball in hand for Mumbai Indians. He has been among the wickets this season and he will be expected to provide yet another great bowling performance as he faces off against a poor SRH side.
