IPL 2021: Match 9 MI vs SRH Preview, Playing XI, Live Streaming Details & Updates

Two IPL heavyweights will go toe-to-toe with each other in Match No.9 of the 14th IPL edition. While the Mumbai Indians have left every other side behind, have won the IPL title 5 times, and are currently the defending champions of the tournament, the Hyderabad outfit has won the IPL once.

Also, the SRH side has been very consistent in the history of the tournament and has reached the playoffs in each of the last 5 editions of the IPL. In the 2021 edition of the IPL though, the ‘Orange Army’ has endured a poor start.

In both the matches that they have played in the tournament thus far, the SRH side has chased, and in both the matches, they have failed to cross the line. And, a certain Manish Pandey has taken the brunt of the blame for his slow approach in the middle order.

On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians (MI) made a sensational comeback in the match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). In fact, at the end of the 15th over, the Kolkata side was cruising and needed just 31 runs off the last 5 overs. But then, a spirited Mumbai side never lost hope and managed to beat the Kolkata outfit by 10 runs.

As far as the head-to-head record is concerned, these two teams have fought tooth and nail against each other. In the 16 matches that these two behemoths have played against each other, both have won 8 each. Who will take the lead when the two sides clash against each other for the 17th time on 17th April 2021?

Pitch and Conditions

Out of the 4 matches that have taken place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai thus far, 3 of them have been won by the side batting first. The ball has stopped on the batsmen in the second half of the innings on the Chennai pitch, and run-scoring has not been easy. Winning the toss and batting first is the best option.
