Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

The city of Vizag gets its first game of this IPL and it couldn’t have asked for a better matchup. Mumbai Indians are well settled and are well rested as well. The Sunrisers Hyderabad have also found their balance as a side and their ferocious bowling attack has been on the prowl right through the tournament. This should be a cracker!

Now, I already have David Warner, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Deepak Hooda in my team for this game.

The Vizag pitch does not have a clear cut ‘inherent’ characteristic. But as it is the first time it will be used in this IPL, I expect it to be true and good for batting.

I’ll be making just one change for this game and it’ll be one from Mustafizur Rahman and Rohit Sharma.

Rohit has been amazing this season but all his half centuries have come while chasing. Seeing this trend and the might of the Sunrisers bowling attack, I will opt for Rohit only if Mumbai bat second.

Now, coming to Mustafizur, he has been amazing every time the Sunrisers bowl first. Also, opting for him when SRH bowl first gives you this sense of certainty, as he’ll be bowling his full quota of 4 overs for sure and in the death overs he will be amongst the wickets as the batsmen will try and go after him. But when SRH bowl second, there is some uncertainty as SRH could get bowled out for a paltry score and then Mumbai could knock off the runs real quick and hence Mustafizur’s death bowling skills will not come in use. Thus, only opt for him if Sunrisers bowl first.

You could go in with Jasprit Bumrah if Mumbai bowl first but I’ll rather save the transfer. Mitchell McCleneghan can be a good transfer as well but as I have decided to make just one transfer for this game, I leave him out. Apart from Rohit and Mustafizur, these two are the most trusted transfers that you can go for today.

For the uncapped player, I go for Krunal Pandya as I have to select a bowler. He has been good with both bat and ball and I expect him to return at least 50 points today.

Batting captain: David Warner (if SRH bat second)/Rohit Sharma (if MI bat second)

Bowling captain: Mustafizur Rahman (if SRH bowl first)/ Bhuvaneshwar Kumar (if SRH bowl second)
