Preview
First thing first. Mumbai Indians are one win away from from the playoff spot. They could have done it at Eden Gardens, but despite Hardik Pandya's brilliance, they came short against Andre Russell-powered Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). And now, they have two matches to do it, both at home -- first, tonight against SunRisers Hyderabad. Then against KKR, on Sunday.
The Rohit Sharma-led side is a confident lot, and they have the resources to be confident. Just look at the line-up. Then, they have the numbers aligning themselves. Since lifting the trophy for the first time in 2013, they have won the tournament every alternate year -- 2015, 2017 and ?. There's no harm in believing in numerology, after all, sports are about numbers.
Then, there is SRH. Finalists last season, and one of the best sides this season. But the absence of David Warner, after the departure of Jonny Bairstow, has effectively compromised their top-order. And they too need at least a win to take part in the next stage. For them, thanks to a far superior net run rate, a win tonight, and they will overtake Mumbai in the third place on same points though.
Squads:
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Yuvraj Singh, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Mitchell McClenaghan, Mayank Markande, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Anmolpreet Singh, Siddhesh Lad, Ankul Roy, Evin Lewis, Pankaj Jaiswal, Ben Cutting, Ishan Kishan, Aditya Tare, Rasikh Salam, Barinder Sran, Jayant Yadav, Beuran Hendricks.
SunRisers Hyderabad: Kane Williamson, Basil Thampi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Hooda, Manish Pandey, T Natarajan, Ricky Bhui, Sandeep Sharma, Siddarth Kaul, Shreevats Goswami, Khaleel Ahmed, Yusuf Pathan, Billy Stanlake, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Shakib Al Hasan, Wriddhiman Saha, Martin Guptill, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, Shahbaz Nadeem.
