THE LOWDOWN

MUMBAI INDIANS

  • For Mumbai Indians to qualify for the play-offs the equation is simple, they must win this game and hope that Royal Challengers Bangalore lose later in the day, or that are victorious by a big enough margin that their net-run-rate goes above that of RCB’s.
  • This puts into perspective the damage of Mumbai Indians’ most recent 5-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants, which has left them in a position where their fate is currently out of their hands.

SUNRISERS HYDERABAD

  • Sunrisers Hyderabad were ‘Virat Kohli’d’ in their last IPL fixture, the Indian superstar scoring 100 in RCB’s successful run chase of 187, leaving SRH rooted to the bottom of the table and currently the only team with a single-figure points tally.
  • South African Heinrich Klaasen smashed 104 off 51 balls for SRH, who will be frustrated that the likes of him and Harry Brook have showed flashes of their quality across the tournament, but without turning them into consistent performances.

THE PREDICTION

It’s been a tournament to forget for Sunrisers Hyderabad, who will finish the season rock bottom of the table with defeat here at Wankhede Stadium. It’s difficult not to see that outcome coming true when taking into account the importance of this contest from a Mumbai Indians’ perspective and how strong their batting has been compared to that of their opponents here. Any outcome other than a home victory would be a significant surprise, giving themselves the best opportunity of reaching the play-offs.
