Mumbai Indians will face Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 27 in IPL 2024. The Mumbai Indians team has come under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya this season.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Team Updates: The Pat Cummins-led team had once raised hopes of victory with Heinrich Klaasen's brilliant innings in the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, but the South African batsman did not get enough support from other batsmen. The opening pair of Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Sharma had given a good start to the team but they will have to bring consistency in their performance.
Sunrisers have shown a lot of faith in pinch hitter Abdul Samad and now they will have to live up to the expectations. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had made a good start in bowling but later he was badly beaten by Andre Russell. This experienced fast bowler will be desperate to make a good comeback.
Mumbai Indians (MI) Team Updates: Five-time champion Mumbai Indians did not have a good start as usual. Despite being in a position to win the match against Gujarat Titans, it had to face defeat in the end. However, in this match, Jasprit Bumrah's brilliant bowling, Dewald Brevis' impressive innings and Rohit Sharma's useful contribution at the top of the order were positive aspects for him. At one time, Mumbai needed 48 runs from 36 balls with seven wickets left, but they could not achieve it, which will be a matter of concern for the team management.
