“The spinners should come into play and pace off the ball, should be the way to go in the middle overs. The wickets at this stage of the IPL are starting to look torn. 170-180 should be around par.

Gujarat Titans are the only team to book a spot in the IPL playoffs. Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals are potentially going to be the remaining three. But like the IPL, it would be premature to celebrate early – just ask LSG who were cruising along up until a week ago. Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad are still in with a chance but their hopes are slim and fate not in their hands.

MI vs SRH previous game
In the last match between these two sides, Mumbai Indians beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 42 runs at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
SRH are in a desperate situation now. They are on 10 points from 12 matches. They take on Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede stadium knowing that it’s a must-win match for them and the next one as well. It still doesn’t guarantee them a place in the playoffs.
They need to win big in both matches to boost their NRR which is in negative right (-0.270) now and will want the other results to go their way as well. Their biggest challenge will be recuperating from the losing rut where they have lost five matches in a row.
