IPL 2019, Match 51 – MI vs SRH: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

If any of the two teams are closest to qualify for the playoffs in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), then they are the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Both the teams will lock horns at the Wankhede stadium on Thursday and the visitors will be keen to pull one back on Mumbai. MI had comfortably defended 136 against SRH in Hyderabad. A victory for the hosts will ensure their playoffs qualification.

The Orange Army will definitely miss their most consistent player David Warner who has left the team midway to join the national training camp ahead of the World Cup. Martin Guptill is the perfect replacement for him and he will open their charge with Wriddhiman Saha. For Mumbai, they might offer another chance to Evin Lewis and Barinder Sran before bringing pondering over including an extra overseas bowling option in Mitchell McClenaghan.
