Both Mumbai and Sunrisers have won both their previous matches and will now be eyeing to complete the hat-trick of wins. Both these teams started the tournament with two consecutive defeats. The good news for Mumbai is that Suryakumar has returned to form. He scored 43 off 25 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai as his team won the match by five wickets.
If Suryakumar’s innings was attractive then Ishaan Kishan’s aggressive innings was also excellent. He scored 58 off 25 balls and Mumbai would expect similar batting from both of them against Sunrisers as well. The Mumbai team, which struggled in the first two matches, now looks balanced. Tilak Verma has been in good touch while Cameron Green and Tim David have also made useful contributions when needed. In the bowling department, experienced leg-spinner Piyush Chawla has done well while young Hrithik Shokeen has given him good support. Mumbai’s fast bowling attack lacks sharpness due to not being able to play. Archer’s elbow injury has emerged. In his absence, Riley Meredith is handling the fast bowling department in the last two matches.
Mumbai handed Arjun Tendulkar and Dwayne Johnson their IPL debuts on Sunday and both are likely to feature in the playing XI in this match as well. Sunrisers, on the other hand, have got two new heroes in the form of Harry Brook and Rahul Tripathi, who played a key role in their last two wins. While Brook finally lived up to expectations, scoring a century against the Knight Riders, Tripathi scored in the win against Punjab. Played an inning of 74 runs in 48 balls. Captain Aiden Markram made useful contributions from the other end in both these matches. He scored 50r37 in the last two matches.
Among the bowlers, spinner Mayank Markande has taken six wickets for the Sunrisers so far, while Umran Malik, Marco Janson and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have also troubled the batsmen of the opposing team. Two twin brothers Marco and Duane also faced each other in this match. Can be
