SRH Track Record
Sunrisers lost 10 games last season, managed to win just four, and finished bottom of the table. This is the team’s fifth straight loss since 2023. This Orange Army was once again denied a postseason berth due to a breakdown in communication between the players and management.
The management got change after the team’s appalling performance, firing legendary coach Brian Lara and hiring former New Zealand great Daniel Vettori as head coach. Now, Sunrisers are hoping that the Vettori-Cummins combination turns around their bad luck.
MI Track Record
In the Mumbai Indians’ opening match against Gujarat Titans, South African Dewald Brevis hit a stunning forty-eight-ball forty-score, but it was Sai Sudharsan’s under pressure knock that helped Gujarat win by six runs. Mumbai has a reputation for being a slow starter, but under Hardik Pandya’s leadership, the blue team will try to move up the points table.
Mumbai will be happy that Jasprit Bumrah is healthy and back, and that Rohit Sharma is playing well, even with the loss. The team will be hoping that the other players step up. Moreover, Uppal’s pitch has always been batting-friendly, with the spinners only finding success when the game goes on.
The fast bowlers, however, may get some assistance; Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who knows the surface like the back of his hand, will be crucial. It will be an exciting match as he goes up against Rohit, who is weak against the incoming ball.
