MI vs SRH Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match? Dream11 IPL 2020, Match 17

Mumbai Indians (MI) have lost two out of their four matches in the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL). However, despite the losses, they are at the top-half of the points table. After missing out agonisingly against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Rohit Sharma and Co got past the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), winning by 48 runs at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

MI also have a net run rate of +1.094. They will be playing in Sharjah for the first time, locking horns with David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the first of Sunday’s doubleheader.

SRH, on the other hand, got back to winning ways with a 15-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC). In their history of rivalry, there’s absolutely nothing to separate Mumbai and Hyderabad.

Pitch and Conditions 

The pitch in Sharjah has turned out to be an absolute belter and without a doubt, a bowler’s graveyard. There’s very little margin of error for the bowlers on the flat deck.

Chasing should be the way forward as the track might not change much during the course of the match. The conditions will be very hot with the temperature around 38 degrees Celsius. The humidity will be in the mid-30s.

Probable Top Performers for MI vs SRH

Quinton de Kock– Mumbai Indians

Quinton de Kock has had a rather quiet IPL thus far, having scored only 48 runs from four games, including a duck in the last match. However, his numbers against the Sunrisers are reasonable enough.

In seven matches, the left-hander has 239 runs at an average and strike-rate of 39.83 and 126.46. Hence, the southpaw will be looking to find some much-needed rhythm in the next game.

Manish Pandey– Sunrisers Hyderabad

Manish Pandey is pretty fond of Mumbai’s bowling attack. The same can be comprehended from the fact that he has five fifties against them in 17 matches. Overall, he has 548 runs at an average and strike-rate of 36.53 and 127.44 respectively.

As far as the ongoing IPL is concerned, Manish has had scores of 34 and 51, showing that he’s in pretty decent form with the willow in hand.
