Sunrisers Hyderabad played out an unusual innings after being asked to bat by Hardik Pandya. In spite of a wicketless power play, the visitors never got off to a great start. The bowlers used the slower balls as the pitch did not provide true bounce.

The lineups of the Mumbai Indians and the Sunrisers Hyderabad are filled with power hitters. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, and Hardik Pandya will be licking their lips looking at the conditions at the Wankhede Stadium. This match has been built up as a run-fest, and if any of these above-mentioned batters get going on this surface, there could be a few records that are broken during the clash.
With both teams coming into this clash on the back of a win, there will not be many changes in the two lineups. Mohammed Shami from SRH took a beating in their previous game and bowled the second-most expensive spell in the history of the IPL. However, his experience on the pitch at the Wankhede Stadium will be invaluable. It is the same stadium where the right-arm pacer picked up a seven-wicket haul for India during the ODI World Cup semi-final in 2023.
