Pitch Report

"Very hot here in Hyderabad. There is a bias in the dimensions - 63m to the right and 70m to the left. Down the ground is 77m. Third time on this particular pitch, this is where all those high scoring games have come. The pitch is very dry and hard. It is a 200+ wicket, but will depend on who can take the early advantage. Both teams have some skilled operators of swing and seam. Won’t be as high as that first game against Rajasthan, but still a great batting surface," Danny Morrison and Matthew Hayden analysed the pitch.

Head-to-Head record

SRH and MI have locked horns with each other 24 times in IPL so far. While SRH have clinched wins on 10 occasions, MI have emerged victorious 14 times.
