Friday’s doubleheader will see Mumbai Indians (MI) go up against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last group game of IPL 2021 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The defending champions face an uphill task in their last match to go past Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and fancy a top-four finish.
As SRH near the end of an awful season, the orange army will be keen to look at the positives as they go into the mega season in a couple of months. The emergence of young fast bowler from Jammu & Kashmir Umran Malik has been the biggest positive and the world will come down to Abu Dhabi to watch the ‘Jammu Express’ bowl.

On the other hand, MI need to win by 171 runs or more and score more than 200 to go past KKR’s net run rate of +0.587. They, however, will be eliminated if they chase. While it looks quite impossible, considering that Mumbai are the most successful franchise in history, one cannot rule them out until the match is over.
