We are into the 65th game of the 15th edition of the Indian T20 League and it will be Mumbai Indians (MI) going head-to-head against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Wankhede Stadium.
Despite a hiccup when chasing at the outset, the Rohit Sharma-led side won comfortably against the Chennai Super Kings in their last game. Mumbai Indians haven’t had much to cheer about this season, with only three wins in 12 games, and they’ll be hoping to finish strong.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, have gone into hiding following a strong start, losing their last five games in a row. The Kane Williamson-led side has a negative run rate as well, so they’ll have to win both of their remaining games by a large margin and hope for the rest of the results to go their way.
