Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Mumbai Indians in their first home game to be played at Hyderabad on 27th March 2024. SRH lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 runs in a thrilling contest at Kolkata while Mumbai Indians could not chase 169 runs against Gujarat Titans and lost the match by six runs.
Heinrich Klassen played a blinder of an innings with 63 in quick time and almost took SRH to an impossible victory. Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Sharma contributed decently but the middle order struggled and that cost the game for them.
It promises to be an exciting contest as both teams would look to gain their first points in the tournament.
