Match Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Mumbai Indians (MI) will face each other in the 8th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

The Sunrisers, led by Pat Cummins, did not get off to a brilliant start after losing to Shreyas Iyer’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by four runs in their previous match on Saturday at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The Orange Army gave themselves a brilliant chance, but somehow fell short.

Pat Cummins, who led a T20 team for the first time, got the crucial wicket of Ramandeep Singh. Bhuvneshwar Kumar leaked 51 runs and failed to get a single wicket. Later, Heinrich Klaasen scored 63 runs off 29 balls, but his knock went in vain.

MI, on the other hand, had a great chance of starting off their campaign with a win. But they lost to the Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans by 6 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

After being asked to chase down 169, the Mumbai team finished with 162 for 9. Jasprit Bumrah was a huge positive for them after he finished with impressive figures of 4-0-27-3. Gerald Coetzee, who made his IPL debut got 2 wickets.
