SRH vs MI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 8th match | SRH vs MI Dream11 Prediction Today | Hyderabad Pitch Report

The home team has dominated IPL 2024, winning all seven games so far. Sunrisers Hyderabad fans will be hoping that trend continues in an important early-season clash against Mumbai Indians.

Both teams would have left Kolkata and Ahmedabad respectively feeling they should have won. SRH, courtesy of the superb Heinrich Klaasen, got the equation down to seven off five balls only to fall short against KKR. MI were also in a magnificent position but let it slip against GT.

It is certainly not time for panic. After all, MI rarely ever win their first game and SRH showed promising signs despite the loss. However, you wouldn’t want to go 0-2 with playoff places at a premium, with spotlight especially on Hardik Pandya after some questionable decisions at Ahmedabad.
