Although MI will be competing to secure a spot in the top four, SRH has nothing to lose.
The IPL 2023 will begin on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai with a match between the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Mumbai Indians (MI).
The Aiden Markram-led team has dropped its last three contests. And in order to avoid finishing last in the standings. They must defeat MI in their season finale. In the thirteen games they have played so far this season, they have lost nine of them.
The playing eleven hasn’t included Umran Malik for the last few games
Following two convincing losses to RR and LSG in their first two games. SRH made a strong comeback by defeating PBKS and KKR in their following two games. However, lost three straight games to MI, CSK and DC.
Several SRH batters have shown flashes of brilliance. But only Klaasen has contributed consistently so far this year. SRH had one of the strongest teams on paper. With a balanced bowling unit supporting an explosive batting unit.
However, this season have not been good enough. And the batters have particularly let the team down on numerous occasions. The bowlers have occasionally appeared to be toothless and clueless.
Klaasen scored his first IPL century against RCB. But the other players were unable to adequately back him up. Otherwise, SRH could have scored over 200 runs.
This year, Klaasen has been SRH’s top batter. He has 430 runs to his credit, making him the team’s leading scorer. Mayank Markande has taken 12 wickets this season at an economy rate of seven for the bowlers.
After his four against GT, Bhuvneshwar Kumar leads the team in wickets taken with 15. Making him the most successful wicket-taker overall. 10 wickets have been taken by Marco Jansen.
Umran Malik made a contribution with five wickets, but he was very expensive and hasn’t been in the starting eleven lately. Reddy, Tyagi and Phillips will likely be replaced by Natarajan, Jansen and Markande on the side.
XI vs MI was the prediction of SRH-
Rahul Tripathi and Abhishek Sharma are the openers.
Harry Brook, Abdul Samad, Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram make up the middle order.
Marco Jansen is an all-arounder.
Mayank Markande, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan and Mayank Dagar are bowlers.
Player With Impact.
As an impact player, SRH may choose from Mayank Agarwal, Kartik Tyagi, Vivrant Sharma, or Mayank Dagar.
