MI vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 69 | MI vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today Match | Wankhede Pitch Report

Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a must-win encounter in an afternoon game on Sunday. MI lost their previous match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), meaning they have to win against SRH to qualify for the playoffs.

The good thing for MI is that they will play at their home ground, where they know the conditions better than any other team. Their biggest issue has been the underperforming bowling unit, particularly in the slog overs, and MI will look to do better in that aspect.

Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad are going through a horrid run in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The wins haven’t come easily for them, and they are clearly the worst-performing side in IPL 2023.

The form of Aiden Markram is a major issue for the Orange army. Moreover, SRH haven’t managed to churn out a complete team performance, which has held them back throughout this season. Now, their only motivation is to play spoilsport at Mumbai.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Mumbai Indians:

• Rohit Sharma looked in fine touch against Lucknow Super Giants in the last game. The deck in Mumbai will be good for batting, and Rohit will look to play a match-winning knock for MI in a do-or-die game.
• Ishan Kishan has 328 runs at an average of 32.80 and a strike rate of 134.42 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. Overall, his form has also been pretty good, as Kishan is the second-leading run-scorer (425) for Mumbai Indians this season.
• Suryakumar Yadav doesn’t need any validation. In IPL 2023, Suryakumar has 486 runs at an average of 40.50 and a strike rate of 186.92 in 13 innings. He has also amassed four fifties and a century.
• At the Wankhede this season, Suryakumar has smashed 342 runs at an average of 68.4 and strike rate of 206.
• Cameron Green will certainly enjoy playing at Wankhede. The ball comes nicely on the bat here, something Green likes while batting. Moreover, Green can also generate an extra bounce while bowling in Mumbai.
• Piyush Chawla has been the best bowler for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023. In the 13 innings, Chawla has 20 wickets at a strike rate of 15 and an economy rate of 7.66. He will again be vital for MI.
• Jason Behrendorff can be very dangerous with the new ball at Wankhede. There is some swing available for the pacers early on, and Jason can exploit it precisely. The Aussie pacer is also the second-leading wicket-taker (14) for Mumbai Indians this year.

Sunrisers Hyderabad:

• Abhishek Sharma hasn’t performed according to expectations this year. However, he is an exciting talent and will look to finish the season with a quality knock.
• Rahul Tripathi has 227 runs at an average of 25.22 and a strike rate of 145.51 against Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Like every other batter, Tripathi will also like batting at Wankhede. However, he needs to be cautious against Jason Behrendorff initially.
• Aiden Markram has clearly looked under pressure throughout the season. However, a good outing to end the tournament might be exactly what he would hope for.
• Heinrich Klaasen is the best batter of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2023. In the 10 innings, Klaasen has 430 runs at an average of 53.75 and a strike rate of 179.16 this season. He also has two half-centuries and a century to his name.
• Klaasen has been world class against spin. This season, he has smashed 260 runs at an average of 130 and strike rate of 194 against the tweakers.
• Bhuvneshwar Kumar has snared 20 wickets at a strike rate of 17.70 and an economy rate of 6.52 against Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Since he bowls in the powerplay and death overs, Bhuvneshwar’s value increases a lot.
• Mayank Markande has experience bowling at Wankhede Stadium. Expect him to trouble a few MI batters with his bowling.
