Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl first against Pat Cummins' Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 55 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium, on May 6 (Monday). SRH would like to register a win here and get to the number three spot. MI don't have anything left in the tournament but they can still spoil the game for other teams. The last time both these sides collided, Hyderabad posted 277 runs on board and MI put on a show in chase as they scored 246 in the second innings.
Head-to-Head
Both teams have faced each other 22 times with MI winning 12 of them and SRH being victorious on 10 occasions. However, Mumbai have a lead of 5-2 at Wankhede against Hyderabad.
Captains at Toss
"We're going to bowl first. Wicket looks fresh. Might have something with the new ball, want to exploit that. Anshul Kambhoj makes his debut. It's all about playing for pride, play for the badge. And for fans who have been with us through thick and thin," Hardik said after winning the toss.
“Got Agarwal coming back to the side, will bat at three. Dew is a factor here, but we have been batting well. Got four games left, will probably need to win two of those. But we're not thinking that far ahead,” said Cummins.
