After a short break, the Mumbai Indians (MI) will return to action as they face an in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, April 29.
Hardik Pandya and Co. are languishing at No. 9 on the points table. They have only won two games and lost five after playing seven. The five-time champions lost their most recent game, which was against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings, by a whopping 103 runs.
Meanwhile, the Sunrisers Hyderabad are on a roll after having a tough start to the season. They won only one out of their first four games. However, they have won four games in a row and find themselves at No. 3 in the standings.
Mumbai will be desperate to get a few wins under their belt as games are coming thick and fast. Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, would hope to extend their winning streak. Rohit Sharma is expected to return to action on Wednesday, which should come as a massive relief to the Mumbai faithful. Meanwhile, Sunrisers' captain Pat Cummins made a stunning comeback in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals, which the Orange Army won by five wickets.
