Preview: Sunrisers will be coming into the clash after losing their last match against the same opposition by four wickets. The previous edition’s finalists haven’t had an ideal season, losing five out of their seven games and are sitting at the ninth position on the points table. Hyderabad’s only hope to make it to the top four is if they win all their remaining six games. Notably, another loss will most likely dent their chances further, keeping them only mathematically in the race.
On the other hand, MI have picked up the pace after enduring early defeats and are currently sixth on the table with four wins. Hardik Pandya has led his troops well and has given his side a good chance to secure a playoff berth. They are currently on a three-match winning streak and will hope to build on it further.

Pitch Report: The pitches in Hyderabad have always been flat, and expect another batting-friendly surface here. The ball will come nicely on the willow, not much for bowlers. This might be a high-scoring fixture.
