The 69th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 will be played on Sunday (May 21) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
In comparison to SRH, who have only won four of their 13 games this season, MI has won seven of them. The current standings of the points table have MI in sixth place and SRH in last.
By a narrow margin of just five runs, MI lost their previous match against the Lucknow Super Giants. Marcus Stoinis scored a fantastic 89 runs off 47 deliveries to help LSG post a total of 177 runs for the loss of three wickets in 20 overs.
In response, MI scored 172 runs while losing five wickets. For the loss of two wickets, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma made a strong start, combining for 90 runs. But MI’s subsequent batters came up empty-handed.
In their most recent match, SRH batted first against Royal Challengers Bangalore and amassed 186 runs for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs. Heinrich Klaasen scored his first IPL century while scoring 104 runs off 51 deliveries. Virat Kohli’s sixth IPL century, however, overshadowed his performance. With eight wickets in hand, RCB completed the total chase in 19 12 overs.
20 IPL matchups between the two teams have already occurred. SRH has won the final nine games, leaving MI with 11 victories. SRH has lost three of the last five games against MI, who also won the first leg of this season’s match.
Let’s have a look at top 3 batters who will score most runs:
Aiden Markram (SRH): The Sunrisers captain has one quick fifty to his name so far this season but has yet to go off this year. As spin is anticipated to be helped by the wickets in Hyderabad, one of the best spinners, Markram, will help his team out with the bat.
Suryakumar Yadav: The batting sensation Suryakumar Yadav (MI) finally found his form in the most recent game. The SRH bowling attack is anticipated to be unsettled by Suryakumar’s all-around batting strategy, and he will likely add to his run total.
Rahul Tripathi: Like the majority of SRH batters, Rahul Tripathi hasn’t quite reached his potential this year. However, as Hyderabad’s second-highest run scorer thus far, the batter is likely to outduel Mumbai Indians’ slow bowlers on what may be a slow track.
