Key Players To Look Forward To
Kane Williamson: He is the team’s captain, and is a right-handed batter from Sunrisers Hyderabad. He’s hit 266 runs so far this season and has the potential to be a strong batsman in today’s match as well.
Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma is a right-handed batter for the MI, and also the team captain. He has so far scored 363 runs this season, and if Mumbai is to enter the playoffs, he will have to lead from the front.
Jason Roy: SRH’s right-handed batsman Jason Roy is the match opener for the squad. In the past four matches, he has scored 114 runs. He’ll be aiming to keep up his strong performance this season too.
Ishan Kishan: Ishan Kishan is a left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman. So far this season, he has hit 157 runs. In the previous game, he hit an undefeated half-century off just 25 balls.
Jasprit Bumrah: Apart from being a right-handed batsman, he is also a medium-fast bowler of the MI squad. He has picked up 19 wickets this season, and that’s why the team will be expecting a lot from him today.
What We Think
As the stadium has a batting-friendly surface, we think the pacers will have an advantage towards the latter half of the game. In that sense, both teams have an equal chance to win today’s game. Let’s hope the best one wins.
